Shovel Knight Director Sean Velasco spoke about Nintendo and their new console with Game Rant recently. Velasco first spoke about porting Shovel Knight to the Switch. “It was not too bad! Every platform has its challenges, especially prepping a game for launch! Everyone is figuring it all out for the first time, so there are definitely some bumps in the road. But Nintendo was really helpful and accommodating along the way.”
When asked about the Switch’s advantages, Velasco responded by saying that “It’s incredibly awesome to just grab your console and take it on the go with no hassle. Having two Joy-Cons attached is also really cool. Now you can bring cooperative Shovel Knight wherever you go”! Velasco hopes that the Switch’s capabilities will allow the console to reach a wider audience than the Wii U did. In fact, Velasco said that “maybe the Switch will get cool ports of some of the games that people missed on the Wii U.”
I love Yacht Club Games. They may not be exclusive to Nintendo, but you know that Nintendo is their first love.
