Yacht Club Games, developer of Shovel Knight, has confirmed the update for the Wii U version Shovel Knight will be available today. The game suffered from a small in-game bug that would force users to restart after causing a freeze during the Tinker Knight boss battle. According to the game’s developer, the 3DS patch isn’t quite done yet but is incoming.. However, if you’re looking for a work-around in the mean time, Yacht Club Games has given the following method below:

“Ah! Yes, defeat him with an attack other than the aerial Shovel Drop. Try when on the ground or use Mobile Gear relic.”

Version 8.0.0-18U has further improvements to overall system stability. The latest update also makes other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience.

If you purchase the retail version you’ll get a free copy of Bayonetta HD, while purchasing it digitally will net you a free download code.

By mid-July, you might start seeing eShop codes up for sale at retailers like DLCSoft, which started selling Sony game codes last year. Anyway, are you excited or is this a bad move?

Video game website IGN held a poll for the best E3 showing about 2 weeks ago and the results are in - Nintendo won the award (and the crowd) for the best games, the best conference and the best overall showing. It’s promising for Nintendo, so let’s hope the games don’t disappoint.

Ten units will only be available to raffle winners who spend 1000 plus at Denny’s and Famil restaurant from July 15 to August 25. Those who spend the specified amount will receive a raffle code printed on their receipt. Five more units will be produced for an email campaign by Nintendo. If you live in Japan, keep an eye out for the email.

Yeah, that’s it. Go watch it.

Studio producer Ken Yeeloy has stated the following:

“I would love to work on a Zelda or Mario title,” said Yeeloy. “Those are the pinnacles of Nintendo IP and I think it would be a lot of fun to go through the process of building one of those games. Trying to come up with new mechanics and puzzles that fit those franchises would be a huge challenge and would be extremely rewarding to see in the end product.”

Of course even if it does get the chance, we know that the either series will be in good hands - Next Level created Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon which was a massive success and launched for the 3DS just over a year ago.

Hyrule Warriors is fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean Nintendo is done releasing trailers for it. Today, a trailer for the character Agitha, returning from Twilight Princess (2006, Wii/GameCube), was released and you can watch it from the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP19h3YyZ0U
