The folks over at Yacht Club Games have been hard at work on a patch for Shovel Knight and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment to fix a few issues that have cropped up in various areas of the game. Some of these changes specifically for Switch also include the ability to play at 1080p resolution while docked.

Switch

  • Now outputs at a 1080p resolution while playing in docked mode!
  • Screen Scale video option is only applied and available while playing in docked mode.
  • Screen Scale menu now appears for the first time that the game is started while in TV mode.
  • Note: If your TV is not displaying the game’s full image we recommend adjusting your TV Settings from the System Settings menu — this way you’re set for all games in the future! Learn how to do so here.
