Sweetness, I was waiting for the 3DS release in particular.
Even though I could've been playing it on my Steam version.
oh in North America
@RupeeClock I also could've been playing this on Steam, but I've obtained all the Feats so far on the 3DS, so I'm waiting for that version to get the update.
Physical release on Switch, please!!
With so many great games coming out 2017 that I still have yet to play, it is probably a great sign of quality from YCG that I still plan to find some time to play DLC of their pixel art platformer somewhere down the line.
@sillygostly I'm pretty sure YCG is waiting until the game is finished so it all goes on the cartridge, and not in the system's internal storage.
There's life in the old dog(Wii U) yet. 4 years really shouldn't be old though.
Great news for them! Just finished Specter of Torment yesterday and gameplay wise it's more fun than Shovel Knight's main campaign imo.
Nice, i have this on 3DS, but if they bought out physical for Switch i would probably upgrade.
@Kayfios : That's exactly what I want out of the retail cartridge, so I'm happy to wait. =)
I also wouldn't mind double dipping on Breath of the Wild if Nintendo eventually rerelease it with the DLC on the cartridge itself.
I have it on 3DS digital and on WiiU physical. I would happily get it on the Switch as well if the main unit had a proper dpad.
@sillygostly Here's hoping it can be called "Game of the Year Edition."
@Damo Thanks for bothering to point out this is NA only.
@RainbowGazelle The PAL versions will be updated too. Just not sure if it'll be the same date.
My son owns the main game on 3DS and randomly asks me when this is coming out, more often since Switch got it, so he'll be happy to hear this when he wakes up.
My 3ds is gonna get a workout!
I already haven't finished Zelda! But between this, Darksiders and the VC of Harvest Moon 64, I'm not sure I'll be getting Switch until at least September!
This mode was fan-freaking-tastic. I was hooked playing this, and loved how the movement felt.
Been waiting for this! It's about time I turn my Wii U on again to do something other than watch Netflix.
Have the games physical on Wii U, 3DS and Vita but somewhat frustrating that a complete physical version is not yet available.
I do hope that once all the new campaigns are out a Switch physical release with every smidgen of content is released for perpetual record.
Waiting for the Wii U update but buying on Switch if it comes to retail there too.
Still haven't bought it on the Switch but have the 3ds version. I will most likely buy the Switch one later
I've got a PS4 copy so I guess it'll come out the same time as the Wii U version?
I liked Plague of Shadows but didn't LOVE it. From everything I've read, this update looks to challenge Shovel Knight as the finest YCG game ever.
I'm loving this on my Switch, I opted recently to wait for that version rather than picking up for my 3DS.
I've been waiting so long for the 3DS version!
Still havent beaten the main campaign on WiiU but, I really dig Shovel Knight(you see that)I just cant stop playing Zelda. I can't wait for the hard mode to drop.
Beat it on switch awesome game
Finally. This is going to be fun.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's 4.5 years. And the Gamecube only lasted 5 years-- heck, the original Xbox only lasted 4 years.
Finally! It's a shame it arrives just after my vacations end...
I played it immediately when it came out for PC April 5. There was some early frustration wrapping my mind around the new game mechanics. I played through it twice straight through. I think it's another fantastic campaign. For those waiting for these versions, I hope you enjoy the new game shortly.
Nice! Thank you Yacht Club Games.
Yurop when? =[
I really want to get into shovel Knight but I'm waiting for a complete physical version
Hooray! I'm very excited to play this on my Wii U.
Ah sweet, just 25 days late, but sweet
Thank you Yacht Club. Your generosity will not be forgotten.
110% Ready to play this! It sure has been a long time coming though.
You know... Europe is a thing as well... in case you had forgotten.
I'm Ready to play this! honest trying avoid spoilers of this game in a nutshell.
When in Europe? That's the big question.
Nice! Finally! I've been waiting to continue playing this in 3D. Now with my favorite of the bad knights
Hard to complain since it's free, but I didn't care for the needless waiting period.
Raced home to play this and......nothing NA only for today I guess? Is there any news on a EUR release??
Fantastic just one more day to go
I just went to download in on my 3DS since I was thinking about it, and it doesn't appear to be there yet still. And they said they wanted to update it on all platforms in April. I guess that never happened. I've also been searching around, and can't seem to find any form of UK release date for it. Well this is fun...
