"We didn't want our 'bargain priced' game to go straight to the bargain bin of obscurity, so we had to raise the price." "Some retailers ran into trouble with limited space to show off their wares, and the rules in place about where games with certain prices are displayed," the studio explained. This decision was funded less by greed and more by exposure as several retailers told the studio that shelf space was a limited and that a game under $20 would only be featured in a bargain bin. There's more bad news: Yacht Club Games decided to raise the retail release's suggested price from $19.99 (about £13) to $24.99 (about £16). "Hang in there a bit longer, and hopefully we can make something happen!" "We are still working our hardest to make it possible," Yacht Club said. The Vita version's retail release has also been delayed to sometime in 2016. On the plus side, it's already available digitally on Microsoft's platform. "We'll keep fighting to get a retail version on Xbox One, but as of now, the boxed version is in indefinite limbo," the studio added. "We're very sorry.we know there is a lot of interest - the pre-orders were really good and we thank everyone for their support!" "We really gave it our best effort, but unfortunately, because of publishing policies on that platform that are totally beyond our control, we couldn't make it happen," developer Yacht Club Games said in a new blog post. Unfortunately, the Xbox One retail release has been canned. Now it's set for 30th October in Europe and 3rd November in North America on 3DS, Wii U, PS4, and PC. Shovel Knight's retail release was originally scheduled for next week, but it's just been delayed a fortnight.
