I wish it was cross-buy. I want it on my 3DS, but there's going to be a console exclusive battle mode and I don't want to miss out so I have to buy the Wii U version, even though this type of game is better on handhelds.


This is the first post to objectively state why one version of the game is superior to the other. I'm having the same dilemma as the TC, so now I'm leaning more toward the Wii U version.

From Yacht Club Games thmselves:

For those who don’t know, each version is definitely worth picking up! The Wii U comes with Miiverse support through the Digger’s Diary, Off-TV Play with the GamePad, and supports the Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, Wii Remote + Nunchuck, Wii Classic Controller, and Wii Classic Controller Pro. Oh boy that’s a lot of input options! The 3DS version has eye-popping stereoscopic 3D, the StreetPass Battle Arena, and Play Coin support. Having Shovel Knight on the go or on your huge TV at home both provide an amazing experience...


Thank you for posting that. The bolded sentence is the only unique aspect of the 3DS version that I care about. Sounds like Battle Arena is supposed to be coming to all versions of the game, which puts me back squarely on the fence. Hrrumph.
