Shovel Knight Now Scheduled For A "Winter" Release

Why is there no audio in your embedded video?

yeah!!!! this is a game I'm hyped for! I was wondering why there were no news about it lately...

"Winter" is the least favorite of all my time frames. Even worse than "launch window" which Nintendo rendered all but meaningless.

Winter is Dec 21 to March 21 but most people associate it w/ Christmas. At least spring, summer and fall are contained w/in the same calendar year.

Quarters suck too b/c business quarters never overlap w/ yearly calendars.

Months are good. Everybody should just stick with months.

Wait a minute, Nintendo has nothing to do with this game. Why is it delayed?

wait a minute... Winter.... it means I'll only be able to get it in June
lucky people in the north getting stuff half year sooner!
I'm just kidding... really.

For some reason I'm really looking forward to this! I'm not the biggest 2d platform guy either. The delay is no biggie as I've got more then enough to play till it comes out!

Wait a minute, I am looking forward to this game.

@Burning_Spear Rodeo the Sky Soldier has been delayed since 2011 and it is finished :/

I think this looks good. (If the people who left are the people who got the controls so tight for Contra 4 / Mighty Switch Force then that might explain why DuckTales is like it is.)

This is looking great!

As long as it will relaese im happy

This is the game I'm most looking forward to. This type of platformer is my favorite genre. So, even though it's a little disappointing that it's coming later than expected, I'm perfectly fine waiting a little longer to get the best game possible. I'd rather they take their time over rushing to get it out to adhere to some guess six months ago.

Looking forward to Shovel Knight. Not upset, delays happen. This is the gaming industry, and we should all know how it works by now. Release schedules are almost always missed, and any date or window given should always be taken with a grain of salt, maybe even the whole shaker. Release dates are tentative at best.

I've got my hands full for the rest of the year with lots of games, so I don't mind it slipping into early next year to be honest!

2014 is shaping out to be a great year for Wii U. Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, X, and a ton of great indie games confirmed. Let's just hope they can surprise us with a couple more first party games and good 3rd party support.

Now that I have a Wii U, I'll be sure to download Shovel Knight as soon as it's released!

Sigh...

more time, means more polish & content, now i'm really hyped about this game =D

More excited since some of the combat reminds me of Zelda 2.

Yay can't wait! I kickstarted this game!

Eh? The original launch was supposed to be September? Could've sworn all the dates I've seen were always listed as "Winter," albeit with a 2013 tucked away behind it. I don't think I've ever seen a September date for the game, unless they bumped it up some and then delayed it again. Oh well, I was expecting a Winter date anyways.

Kickstarter projects tend to be delayed, so I'm not surprised, though this is the first video game project I checked out. I didn't back it, so I can't say I have any cause for disappointment, but it does look like something I'll buy when it comes out.

Quite a rad trailer. Delays happen. We'll deal.

"A groundbreaking new title"
I see what you did there, yacht club games...

YCG Featured my art in their latest update, I feel so special!

This game looks fantastic.

Damn!!! Another eShop title to buy!! Add it to the ever growing list!! : )

as a long-time gamer, i have to say this game does look really really awesome

@Freakazoid runs around in underwear...freakame..freakayou!! so many oldskool memories, i should use a pinky and the brain avatar.

@BlackStar9000 yeah hes so hillarious

I prefer them polishing up the game rather than just releasing it in September. Hopefully a solid date is given in the next couple of months, I look forward to getting my Shovel Knight on!
