New Wii U update is rolling out today. Single fix is Tinker Knight soft lock. 3DS patch to follow but isn't ready quite yet.

Shovel Knight cheat codes include “Butt Mode”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Random, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Shovel Knight has a wholeeeee lot of cheats. One of these, the “Butt Mode”, might just be the most humorous one yet.
By entering “WSWWAEAW” as your name when starting Shovel Knight, mentions for various reoccurring words such as Shovel, Knight, Health, and Magic are replaced with the word “Butt”. Lovely, isn’t it?

Yacht Club talks about its relationship with Nintendo
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Shovel Knight has been highly trumpeted by Nintendo since the game’s early days of development, up through release. Heck, the title is even playable at the Nintendo World store right now.
All in all, Yacht Club Games’ Nick Wozniak says Nintendo has “been really accommodating to our weird requests, and getting stuff done to see if they can promote us better.”
You can find Wozniak’s full comments about working with the Big N below.

Yacht Club could consider cross-buy for Shovel Knight
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Yacht Club Games is open to the idea of cross-buy for Shovel Knight. Just don’t expect it anytime soon, as it’s something the studio would have to consider it first.
Yacht Club said on Twitter:
@PostMesmeric Sounds like a unique promotion at the moment! Something that's certainly in our minds just the same though.

Cross-buy is a much-welcomed feature on Nintendo platforms, but it has a long ways to go. It’s only available in Europe at present (with one game thus far), and the functionality seems to be limited to buying the 3DS version first and then picking up the Wii U edition for free.
