Would that even be possible? So far all the Miiverse integration into games has been for the WiiU. The 3DS supports Miiverse as an application, but it might not support integration in the same way.
I've never really thought about it, but I think you're right that the 3DS has never shown evidence of being able to support full-on integration of Miiverse the way games like Pushmo and NSMBU can.
I think this blog update is fairly important and should be added to the OP: Digger's Diary Detailed - as you can imagine, it goes into detail regarding the creative process behind the wii u's most prominent exclusive feature.

Thanks I plan to keep adding these features to the OP.
That's awesome. Not watching as I don't want to spoil myself, but just the idea of it is awesome in and of itself.

Obviously I did that first, but since they're using Humble to distribute the keys are already out of their hands, and they just told me to contact Humble.

I'm also interested to see if this game will be speedrun friendly. I never used to care about that sort of thing but now it's another thing I'm interested in.
The game seems to have taken speedrunning into account.

I really enjoyed this, tho there were a couple secrets jim missed that now solely taunts my existence. no stone will go unturned when I get through with this game.
You say that now.
So in addition to the OST, there's also going to be an arrange album!

Is there going to be a Steam bundle for the game + OST?

I funded the KS, and I'm wondering--should I already have a code? In which email was that explained?
I've been pretty bad about staying in top of this!
Edit: I requested a 3DS code.

It is up to the dev not Nintendo. Nintendo does have the capacity for cross buy but continue using the tired phase of 'its Nintendo'.
Just a note, I think this is for the physical backer album. The bandcamp upload will probably just be the regular soundtrack.
I've been waiting for this since they announced it! Between 1001 Spikes, Shovel Knight, Hyper Light Drifter, and Mighty No. 9, my Wii U is going to explode with indie awesomness!
Less than a week for Shovel Knight. Will another indie game dethrone my Mario Kart 8 madness? You better believe it.

Still not out? Been so long I kind of forgot about it. Probably just wait now and see if they ever announce a Xbox One or PS4 version... If not I'm sure it'll be on sale eventually.
Here you go:

Not sure when, but I don't believe they've been distributed quite yet. I assume it'll be this week given the 6/26 release date.

They did a platform survey through Kickstarter (not an email) ages ago. You already got a Humble key about two months ago. That should either be in your email or already added to your Humble account. The key will appear in there upon release.

The Humble key is only relevant to those who funded the PC version, right? Should I just expect a key in my inbox if I opted for 3DS?
Edit: The Wii U/3DS are being distributed through Humble as well. Misread your post and thought you were talking about getting a Steam key in the mail.

Nope. People who use Humble for key distribution of Kickstarter rewards use it for all platforms. When a key appears it should show as "{Game X} Key -- {Platform}" or something like that.

Oh, shit. I don't know if I even have a Humble account...
iirc the way it works is whenever you make a humble account with the email address you used for kickstarter, the goods will be associated automatically
We have not gotten an explanation of why the game got delayed for 3DS/Wii U for PAL region, right? I asked Yachtclub that on twitter but they couldn't tell me either.

Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe have separate approval processes. NoE is likely just taking longer.

This looks to be one of the best releases in the genre of the last ten years. Definitely one of the most interesting.
that and probably ran into trouble getting all the european ratings sorted out. apparently they don't make it easy for indies, unlike ESRB.
I want to say it's noon EST.

Details the Battle Arena. I assume that's what you mean for the free multiplayer mode. It's the same thing that 3DS is going to have with the Street Pass Arena.
I don't know if it's the same. On the website they mention Battle mode featuring the Order of No Quarter.

I want this on my WiiU but here in Europe is delayed to an unkwon date except in Steam, hope the game will be worth the wait.
REGIRULAAHHHHH
Yo, as Aeana knows, I lurk here and adore you guys, but I stay quiet, especially regarding my own projects. I also don't speak on behalf of YCG, so I can't give any official info or customer support.
But just wanted to clarify 2 things you've mentioned:
1) The arrangements (there are now almost a dozen in progress, hahaha hooooly shit) will be Bandcamp-only (digital OST, available to everyone) for now. The backer physical album will be the complete original soundtrack by itself, with super nice artwork and packaging, in a 2-disc set. The digital OST, which anyone can get from day 1, will contain the same music PLUS arrangements, since I am not limited by the capacity of discs... But that first physical CD printing is just for backers, and I hope you enjoy it!
2) YES there will indeed be a streaming release party; At 7PM PST on Thursday the 26th (Launch day!) We're going to listen through the whole soundtrack with webcams set up, as we experience the elation / relief / horror of RELEASE DAY at the YCG office. I'm guessing most of the team will be hunched over their computers, frantically trying to keep up with day-one customer support and PR stuff, but I will do my best to make them all drink themselves into a stupor. They've certainly earned it.
Facebook event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/452088761594858/ I would LOVE to have all GAF champions there to party with and/or laugh at us.
1) Sounds awesome. Looking forward to it
2) 7pm PST? So that'll be 10pm EST. And knowing me, I'll try and stay up for the entire thing. Going to be a great time.
3) Holy shit you have a GAF account
It has plenty of replay value, there are collectibles and such, plus there is always more loot and weapons to find.
EDIT: I forgot about the challenges and the gender swap mode.
The latest update listed is the Digger's Diary, so I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to point to.
Streetpass Arena is 3DS exclusive and does not have a likeness in the other versions. The battle mode is something completely different and has yet to be implemented.
So no staying up until midnight for shovel knight download goodness.
Much sadness, but it's probably better for my sleep anyway. Besides, that's what the release listening party is for.
