Yacht Club Games announced a short delay for retro platformer Shovel Knight so it can make sure the final version be polished t' satisfaction. The Wii U, 3DS, 'n Steam game be due on March 31, but it be now expected t' surface a few weeks after that.

"This isn't a major delay, or a long one," reads an update on the Kickstarter page, "it be simply a stretch a time t' pillage everything polished 'n aligned. While major development be quickly drawing t' a close, there be still some external factors, like submission preparation, which need a little bit more breathing room before the game goes live."

The delay best see Shovel Knight arrive close t' exactly a year after it be crowdfunded, when it received more than four times it be asking amount. Backers clearly bought in t' the game's 8-bit aesthetic, as well as the clear nods t' classics like Castlevania, Mega Man, 'n DuckTales. Let's hope the delay helps the final game t' deliver on it be potential in spades. [Image: Yacht Club Games]
