Shovel Knight

Earlier today, Nintendo announced that the update for Shovel Knight on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS would be released on April 5th in Japan. This update adds the Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment campaign, which is currently exclusive to the Nintendo Switch in Europe and North America.

Here’s some screenshots:

Since the update is releasing on April 5th in Japan, that means that Europe and North America will also get it on the same day, if not before.

Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t say anything about the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove edition, or the stand-alone release of the Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment campaign. No word on the Nintendo Switch release either…
