As the weeks pass we're certainly getting closer to some enticing eShop releases, one of which is Shovel Knight on the Wii U and 3DS eShop. Having succeeded in the crowdfunding arena Yacht Club Games is approaching its début, with 31st March the confirmed target release date.
There's been plenty of positivity around the action platformer, with the increasing footage raising the level of anticipation for a number of gamers; Nintendo exclusive features utilising StreetPass on 3DS and Miiverse on Wii U are also highly encouraging.
In the final part of its indie developer video series, Nintendo Minute has now released the full interview that was briefly seen in the most recent North American Nintendo Direct broadcast. Sean Velasco chats about the design philosophy behind the game and outlines the Wii U usage of Miiverse, among other things.
Check it out and let us know if you're planning to pick up Shovel Knight on either the Wii U or 3DS.

Really lookin' forward to this game!
The more I see & hear about this game the more I want it.
Is it weird that this is my most anticipated game for the Wii U this Spring? If its good I'll probably double dip and get it for my 3DS too.
We're finally getting close to the release. This game is gonna be awesome!
These Indie eShop Minutes won't feel complete until they get Manfred of Shin'en on there as well
Is this a timed console exclusive?
@MAN1AC
Mine too. I'm also looking forward to how Armillo turns out which comes out just a week before.
@Squiggle55 there is a Mac and PC version if that's what you mean.
@SometimeAboutAI No what I'm wondering is if this is a console exclusive (never coming out on xbox or playstation). Or if they agreed to a timed exclusivity period. Or if there was no agreement at all.
If there is no issues with the framerate or anything on the 3DS version I will get that otherwise I will probably get it on Steam.
I hope it doesn't have checkpoints every 10 seconds.
Planning on getting this. Also, sign my petition to add the Shovel as a weapon to Monster Hunter 5.

As someone whose favorite genre is and always will be the platformer, this has been on my radar since its announcement.
The BEST genre.
Buying on Wii U. My Wii U is my one-stop-shop for VC and indie games. Not only can you play them on TV, but you can play them on the smaller, portable screen on the gamepad. TV and handheld experience from one purchase. Love it.
Backed this on Kickstarter what seems like ages ago! Been following it ever since, very strange watching their live streams from starting out doing pixel art & animations of Plague Knight in someone's apartment while playing through all the classic Mega Man titles to them getting their own studio has been great to watch.... & I still don't know what they are going to do with our faces! (some backers could send a pic off to them to have our faces in the game somewhere!) needless to say I'm extremely looking forward to getting my hands on the finished product on the WiiU!!
@WaveBoy I think he must be part of the reason Wayforward is not worth bothering with now. (Contra 4 / Double Dragon Neon / Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! / A Boy and his Blob). Important thing is they all play completely right.
Everything after that has been not worth bothering with including Ducktales Remastered which is not like the other remakes / reboots.
