Watch the Shovel Knight Launch Trailer

Shovel Knight is out this week and developer Yacht Club Games have put together a tantalising launch trailer for the game.

The 2D side-scrolling platformer features the armour-clad knight, who sets off across tricky levels to battle foes and save his lost love, who has been captured by an evil witch. Wander through forests, scavenge castles, raid villages and even explore a vast potion brewery in our hero's debut adventure. The game will be available to download on the Wii U and 3DS eShop catalogues from 26th June.

For more on the game, be sure to read our hands-on preview.
