With their financial success, Yacht Club Games today announced that they are now in a position to respond to demands, and release a physical copy of Shovel Knight which they are going to self publish. The physical copy will cost $20 rather than $15, but it is a small price for the pleasure of adding this little gem to your shelf.

The Knight and his trusty shovel are back

With digital only releases been long rumoured to completely take over, it is great for those of us who love collecting a physical library that developers such as Yacht Club Games understand our needs and wants. The physical game will include all updates released up to this point and will receive all future updates as well.

Shovel Knights physical release is coming to Xbox One, Playstaion 4, Wii U and Nintendo DS. No PS Vita physical edition is planned but in response to a comment asking precisely this question, a Yacht Club Games moderator stated:
