Shovel Knight Wii U, 3DS Meets More Stretch Goals

Upcoming Nintendo Wii U and 3DS indie project Shovel Knight has reached even more stretch goals.

The game, which will also be available on PC, continues to receive more backers with just three days to go (at time of writing). The initial goal was met last month and with the additional, optional goals, the game will now see the inclusion of a challenge mode, multiplayer, Gender Swap and much more.

Developer Yacht Club Games posted a question and answer on their blog outlining key aspects on the upcoming game. There'll be a light story, brief dialogue but the main focus on the action/platforming with a "6-8 hour experience" expected during the first run through, together with branching paths and multiple level options.

As the game progresses Shovel Knight's armour and equipment can be upgraded through found and bought items, with combined items teased by the studio.
