shovel-knight

A new update from Yacht Club Games has been released for Shovel Knight, bringing several new features and fixing a few bugs along the way. The team has been dedicated to working on all three versions of the game, so be sure and check their update page for information on what was fixed in the Steam and the Nintendo 3DS versions. Here’s what’s new for Wii U owners:

Update Notes:

  • Game can now be played with out the GamePad! “Please re-connect GamePad” message will only display if it was your last used controller before disconnect or if you were displaying the game on the GamePad screen.
  • NEW: GamePad screen can be toggled between Main and Sub type by pressing the “Select Button” within the Pause Menu. Quicker than going all the way to the video option menu!
  • Fix: Crash when the battery died on GamePad with certain Wii U system features enabled.
  • Fix: Music not resuming if a Miiverse post is selected while the inventory is open on screen.
