Back in March, Shovel Knight was delayed from its March 31 release for extra polish. But Yacht Club Games has confirmed the new release date with Nintendo and Steam, making sure the downloadable game comes out later this month. "We hit some snags along the way, and we’re sorry that we couldn’t deliver it sooner, but, hopefully, it will prove more than worth the wait," the indie developer wrote on its website Shovel Knight is based on old-school 2D platformers and comes across almost as a mixture of Mega Man and Castlevania. On 3DS and Wii U, the indie game will take advantage of Miiverse and StreetPass functionality, such as sending and receiving hints on Nintendo's home console thanks to the social media service.Yacht Club Games is currently working on localization for the European eShop release of Shovel Knight, with news hopefully coming soon.
