Yacht Club Games explains why it delayed the latest Shovel Knight releases
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The wait for the latest Shovel Knight content continues, as developer Yacht Club Games recently delayed everything that previously had a release date. King of Cards, Showdown, the new amiibo, and physical version for Switch were all pushed back from their April 9 launch. It doesn’t sound like there will be a massive delay here, but it’s a delay nonetheless.
As part of a lengthy interview with USgamer, Shovel Knight designer Sean Velasco explained the delay in greater detail. He also stated that everything should be ready “real soon,” so fans may not have to wait much longer.
Yacht Club Games on how the Cyber Shadow partnership happened, “deeply involved in giving design feedback”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Yacht Club Games announced a brand new title last week. In partnership with Mechanical Head Studios, the ninja game Cyber Shadow is bound for Switch. Rather than working on the game directly as it did with Shovel Knight though, Yacht Club has more of a role as a publisher.
In an announcement this week, Yacht Club said it reached out to Cyber Shadow’s creator a couple of years ago. The company was apparently “the only team” considered to help bring the project to fruition. Yacht Club also won’t be a traditional publisher since the company is “deeply involved in giving design feedback – imparting some of the lessons learned from the Shovel Knight saga along the way.”

Yacht Club teasing announcement of new publishing title for PAX East 2019
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yacht Club Games will be attending PAX East 2019 at the end of this month. Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown will be playable, and it also looks like a completely different project will be brought to the show.
In an email sent out today, it was mentioned that an “all-new addition to the Yacht Club Games Publisher catalog” will be present at PAX. It doesn’t necessarily sound like Yacht Club is developing this directly, but may only be publishing similar to how the company was responsible for distributing Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack on 3DS.
