Shovel Knight Goes Alpha And Receives New Trailer To Celebrate!

The Wii U has become a powerhouse for indie games with new titles hitting the system every month. Many of those titles were born from successful Kickstarter campaigns proving the viability of the crowdfunding service. One noteworthy success story is Shovel Knight, a retro action adventure title that plays like a mix of NES classics Mega Man and Duck Tales with a touch of Zelda 2. The games developer, Yacht Club Games, has recently revealed that the game has entered its Alpha stage which means that everything is in the game and it is up and running. This is great news for both Wii U and 3DS owners as the game is currently planned for a March 31st release for both machines as well as PC. To celebrate the games development milestone and release date, Yacht Club Games has put together a new trailer which shows off just how sweet this game will be. Enjoy!
