Shovel Knight Launches On June 30 In Japan For Wii U And Nintendo 3DS

Wait, they didn’t have this yet?
Never knew they don’t have this game yet as we got Shovel Knight a long, long time ago — 2014, right?
It’s such a shame.
Localization is an illness Nintendo has helped to spread.
i think its more of a localization issue that has nothing to do with nintendo, its like us getting a hard time localizing games to na, its the same concept
If all Nintendo consoles were region-free, delays and censorship would never happen.
What a treat for them.
Wow so shovel Knight has achieved all this success and it didn’t even release in Japan yet. Wt an accomplishment for them and deservedly so
And watch as the 3DS version steam rolls right over the Wii U version. xD
