by While I don't buy eShop games often, this is one I'm certainly looking forward to and may even purchase on launch day. Basically you're a knight who is armed with a shovel. The shobel can be used to dig and attack enemies, among other things. It's a 2D platformer releasing for both the 3DS and Wii U eShop, but no release date announced yet.

New trailer!
The trailers for this game open annoyingly slow.
It looks like a good platformer, I might get the 3DS version. The trailer shows a March 31st release date, so not too much longer to wait! I just hope it isn't overpriced for an eShop game.

Shovel Knight has been delayed...no new release date has been announced, it just won't be coming March 31st unfortunately. The developers said it would come a few weeks after.
So yeah. That kinda sucks, but I wasn't that excited for this or anything.
Hello Shovelers and Shovelettes! There are only a couple weeks until Shovel Knight’s release date of March 31. The crew at the Yacht Club is tired; we’ve been working literally every day, and every waking hour, to make the game great. But! We’re just not quite there yet.
So, we hemmed and hawed, and made a Super Important Executive Decision. This update is to let everyone know that Shovel Knight will be missing March 31 by a few weeks to make sure it’s a world class experience, and can release on all platforms simultaneously. This isn’t a major delay, or a long one; it’s simply a stretch of time to get everything polished and aligned. While major development is quickly drawing to a close, there are still some external factors, like submission preparation, which need a little bit more breathing room before the game goes live.
We don’t want to announce another release date until it's 100% locked in with both Nintendo and Steam, so please sit tight… we’ll announce a new, final release date very soon. But the game is like… so done! Here’s what we’re working on in our feverish final hours:
Dialogue and scripted events are being finalized
Finishing touches put on level design for the final levels
Overall game balancing
Platform specific standards so everything runs smoothly on your system of choice!
Testing, testing, testing… on all platforms!
So yeah. That kinda sucks, but I wasn't that excited for this or anything.

Shovel Knight finally releases June 26th. Personally I'm interested in this game, so I'll likely try to get it at some point. I might get some eShop money around that time since I think Shantae and the Pirate's Curse will also be releasing around the same time. So I could get both games.

So Shovel Knight has been out for a few days now, does anybody have it or plan to buy it?
I would, but I have no eShop money. But I'm definitely interested in the game, and I've heard it's really good, so I'll likely get it at some point. If I win that Pokemon X/Y tournament, then I'll definitely download it. XD

So it's being considered? I'll likely get the game anyway, but if crossbuy is allowed for Wii U and 3DS versions, then that's awesome. :3

So apparently Shovel Knight is getting free DLC! This free new content will be from some of the stretch goals of the game's kickstarter that weren't ever reached. This includes a mode where you can play as Plague Knight, King Knight, and Spectre Knight, each in their own campaign where there are new levels and bosses. There will also be a battle mode.
I honestly didn't expect this! I think it's great the game is getting DLC, but the fact that it's FREE makes it that much better! Sounds great. I still need to get the game itself though.

That sounds like great content for the game. I already knew this for awhile but I think they just started working on it. I can't wait to play as Plague Knight, I thought the battle with him was the most insane one and it's pretty hard. King Knight sounds great too, they're my favorite Knights. I think they said all the boss knights will be playable in the battle mode, that mode sounds nice as well.

A physical release has been confirmed for Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and 3DS! (also on PC in Europe only) It will be $19.99 and include the DLC content. Speaking of which, that content is coming soon to all versions for free! October 13th in North America, and October 16th in Europe.
Also the game has sold 700k.

Here's the PR email.
The wait for Plague of Shadows is almost over! This free update will definitely hit digital platforms BEFORE the boxed version. We’re in the home stretch and are polishing every detail, pixel, and potion right now. Check out some screens before the final version is released!
I guess they will include some out there game for the Nintendo versions since Kratos and Battletoads are in the other versions.

Battle Mode
Even in the chaos of all this new stuff, we are still plugging away on new features. New single player adventures are always fun, but it will soon be time to shake it up in Battle Mode! Lots of playable characters, stages, battle types, options, and more are coming! We hope everyone is looking forward to the wild battles!
Wow…was that too much information? Stay tuned this coming month because we have even more crazy cool news to reveal. For instance, a final Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows release date and trailer! Also… we’ve heard the cries of bringing more exclusive content to Nintendo platforms. It might not be quite what you expect… but keep an eye out for another MEGATON announcement soon!
Will Shovel Knight take over the world? What will the new content be like? What is happening with the Nintendo versions? So many questions! Please let us know what you think of everything in the comments!

I can't believe Yacht Club Games can publish this themselves...
I might actually get the Wii U version.

Yo guys. Plagues of Shadow is out. If you own this game, get playing again.
This also includes challenge mode for those who don't wana play as the alchemistic knight.
I've already played and I've gotta say it's definitely a lot different than playing as Shovel Knight. Complete customization over your weapons can be fun if you know what you're doing, but the mini-menu is kinda tough since there's so many sub-menu's within it now for each option.
