EU/AU Nintendo eShop Takeover

You may have heard recently about how Shovel Knight is making the rounds in European and Australian regions for Nintendo players! If you’re from there, make sure you check out all the neat stuff we prepared like the EU Trailer, 3DS Theme, and Cross Platform Discount. But we also worked with Nintendo to create a super cool eShop Takeover. One of the best parts was our composer Jake Kaufman contributed a super amazing bossa nova track to give EU/AU players the full Shovel Knight shopping experience. And we’re so excited about the songs, we’re releasing the track(s) for free!
