Yacht Club Games' homage to 8-bit games of childhood yore has been funded. Shovel Knight finished off its Kickstarter campaign with a whopping $311,502, more than 4 times over its original goal of $75,000.
Having reached the benchmark of $300,000, the game will now have a full 4-player multiplayer mode along with all its bosses as playable characters in battle mode.

These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
The all-new Everyone is Here Again Bundle packs roguelikes Risk of Rain 2, Dead Cells, and more. All told, you will get all five games for 51 percent off their normal prices.
Gamespot spoke with Yacht Club about the latest Shovel Knight game, Dig, as well as his many other cameos and spin-offs.
What?! I mean...it looks okay. I never thought it would get THAT funding...sweet mother of green jesus.
I guess my shock is amplified for my rather disdain for anything 2d/action/platformer. I just can't get into those games AT ALL. Like it doesn't pull me in. Yet everyone else loves the crap out of em'...weird.
I pledged. It looks like something I'd enjoy playing, so I threw them $15 for a Wii U copy. I'm glad it got that much funding, though; the stretch goals that were hit went from a nice looking retro platformer to a game chock-full of great extra content.
I hope this game makes it to psn as well, if not I'll definitely grab it on my 3ds.
