Priced at $15, the game is already available on Steam and will launch on Wii U and 3DS once the system's weekly eShop update arrives today. That amount caused several stretch goals to be met, resulting in the inclusion of a New Game Plus mode and Linux and Mac support, with things like a four-player battle mode and gender swap story to be added later. A campaign was launched last year and, as often seems to happen with the games that succeed at crowdfunding, it far exceeded its goal: Despite asking for $75,000, Yacht Club ended up with more than $300,000. It's notable, then, that this game was made with the help of Kickstarter. Impressively, it's one of the best-selling games on Steam currently despite not being part of the ongoing Summer Sale. The 2D side-scroller harkens back to the platformers of old, channeling games like Mega Man and DuckTales to create an experience some are proclaiming one of the best games of the year. Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight debuts today as a downloadable title on PC, Wii U, and 3DS, and already it's generating a lot of buzz. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
