Shovel Knight Release is Pushed Back to Early 2014

NNNNNNNNNNNNooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yeah when I heard about this I was pretty disappointed.

I cannot wait for this game...! Hopefully early 2014 means January or February... that's when I was hoping to be able to play this...

Shame, the next few months look quite barren release wise.

What the hell am I supposed to play on my 3DS this christmas ;'(

Bummer, I've been waiting on Shovel Knight for a while & now I will have to wait a while longer... Also disappointing that the stretch goals aren't arriving at launch either despite the game getting delayed. Oh well, I'll still enjoy it all the same when I finally get to play it.

Watch. The Wii U version will be delayed even longer.

It's to be expected. If anyone on here has programmed games before, you'll realize that it's a long, arduous process. Heck, debugging alone can take months, especially with a small team (Or in my case, one person). Give 'em some slack so they can release the amazing game we all want.

I'm not disappointed. I'm actually really happy for them and all of us that they met the stretch goals which will give us more content to play with. Had they not met those goals, we'd probably have the game by now, but with less content. Waiting sucks, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

In times like these, I appreciate when Inafune put Mighty No. 9 so far away, trying to avoid these pitfalls.

Early 2014 is still too vague for my taste.

Do it right, I say. This is their first game as a new company and they need to deliver on the promise, especially as it's a kickstarter project. Can't wait, though!

@Emblem To be fair it could be coming out in the next few months. There's only one month left in 2013.

@Azikira I hear you. I'm getting ready to release a game with only one partner and it is stunning how long every little change can take even after decades of programming experience.

@Warruz My reaction when I first saw the news.

Dont like updates after release, id sooner they just released it complete in the first place

Just get it right and my money will be there when its released!

Yeah, I don't mind so much because I'd rather wait a few more months for a better game.

Treasurenauts has just been delayed to Q1 2014 as well. Lame oh well, if it means the games are amazing then I don't mind too much!

Boo.

BOO, I say.

Its still a day 1 purchase for me. I dont mind waiting.

@aaronsullivan Well when you're self-taught, things do tend to take a lot longer too. Me and my friend are working on a game together, but he wants to be the one to program it so I just stick with the art~ Honestly it'll probably be a few years before we actually release it.

@Warruz Beat me to it by two hours!

Well, 2014 will be a fun year.

That's too bad but not the end of the world..I still plan on getting it

Shame oh well just something to look forward too so excited for this

I'm still looking forward for this one.

Until then I'm getting Wario Land 3!!!!!!!

:')

Goodbye world.

Nah, I can wait a few months of so.

Oh, I totally DIDN'T SEE this coming! Didn't they already push it for later release a while ago?

@Blizzaga I doubt that's the case since none of the footage shown thus far has been of the 3DS version. Even on that Nintendo Direct with the part on indie games, only the Wii U version was shown.

No complaints here. I have WAYYYY too many games on my hands to play through, right now, as it is.

wasnt falling for this anyways

That's cool, that's cool.

They committed to quite the extra amount of work through reaching all their stretch goals, so I'm looking forward to seeing everything in there.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, been waiting too long already

@CountWavula This game isn't a nintendo-exclusive - it's developed by Yacht Club Games and is releasing on a number of platforms. It's delayed for everything.
