Shovel Knight Sells Over 300,000 units

Congratulations Yacht Club Games!

Shovel Knight has now sold over 300,000 copies across Wii U, 3DS and PC according to Yacht Club Games’ Tweet.

Shovel Knight is a platformer heavily inspired by NES games such as: Mega Man, Super Mario Bros. 3, Castlevania and many more. Shovel Knight won Indie game of the year at the Video Game Awards and has just been announced for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It was Yacht Club Games first game and received high critical reviews from many websites including Middle of Nowhere Gaming.

My Opinion:

I think this is great news for Yacht Club Games. I loved Shovel Knight and I’m glad that the studio has been successful with it. I can’t wait to see more people enjoying this indie gem on PS4 and Vita.
