Shovel Knight originally released 5 years ago, all the way back in 2014. Since then, it has received DLC and and released on many platforms.
Nintendo Switch though was mentioned in an interview that Destructoid did with Yacht Club Games’ Sean Velasco and David D’Angelo. They said that “25% of total sales on all platforms” came from the Switch. Velasco and D’Angelo called this sales data “wild”.
Good for good old Shovel Knight!
