Shovel Knight Digs up Wii U and 3DS
REDMOND, Wash.--(June 25,
in the year of our Lord 2014)-- On June 26, Yacht Club
Games launches Shovel Knight for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, a
sweeping classic platform adventure game with awesome game play,
memorable characters and an 8-bit retro aesthetic.
You play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a
huge quest. Shovel Knight has come to this land with two goals:
to defeat the evil Enchantress and quest for his lost beloved.
But between Shovel Knight and his beloved stands a cadre of
villainous knights. These terrible foes, known as The Order of
No Quarter, have been dispatched to prevent Shovel Knight from
reaching the Enchantress, and will pursue their mission at any
cost!
Packed to the brim with content, Shovel Knight boasts several
unique features on Nintendo platforms. Shovel Knight will
include exclusive Miiverse functionality on Wii U, and the
Nintendo 3DS version will feature both stereoscopic 3D and an
exclusive Battle Arena mode using StreetPass.
“With Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games is leading a new indie
charge in the Nintendo eShop, strengthening an already great
lineup of content,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s
vice president of Licensing.
Since its announcement in 2013, Shovel Knight’s polished game
play and beautiful presentation have made it a worldwide
phenomenon. Shovel Knight launches June 26 as a digital download
in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
