Shovel Knight Coming To Nintendo Switch
Yacht Club Games has announced a load of news for its Shovel Knight series, including the upcoming addition of co-op to non-Wii U platforms and the fact that it's heading to the Nintendo Switch.
The original Shovel Knight game is getting rebranded Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, which will allow players to purchase its various campaigns individually, including the upcoming Specter of Torment, King Knight campaign, and battle mode. Players who currently own the game will get the additional expansions at no cost as they're released. The price will be rising this spring, however, so you may want to grab it now before the undetermined hike.
Take a look at the official post for a breakdown of the plans.

Our Take
I never got around to playing this one – in spite of Tim Turi's incessant badgering – but this could be the step to pull me in.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
