Independent studio and Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games borrowed a page out of Nintendo's book by hosting a Direct-style presentation of its own, where the team made a bunch of announcements. Among them was a brand-new game, additional characters for upcoming titles, a release window for another game, and more.
