Shovel Knight amiibo out in Europe on Dec. 11, North America on Jan. 8
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Yacht Club Games has finally shared a concrete release date for the Shovel Knight amiibo.
In Europe, the figure is officially slated for December 11. North America will be receiving the Shovel Knight amiibo on January 8. Pricing is set at $12.99 / £10.99 / €14.99.
Yacht Club Games spoke about the release timing and stock in a website post:
“You may be wondering why the Shovel Knight amiibo is coming out so much earlier in Europe! It was an agonizing decision, as production difficulties forced us to choose between rushing to ship a tiny, insufficient number of amiibo units before Christmas, or ship a good healthy supply of stock to North America just after Christmas. We’ve received hundreds of emails bemoaning the difficulty in finding some of your favorite amiibo, racing for a pre-order window, issues with scalpers, having trouble unlocking the new features you want to play; so, we made the decision to launch the amiibo in January so there would be enough units available. Hopefully, this later date will make buying a Shovel Knight amiibo easy and fair for everyone. So just be sure to save up that Christmas money for the new year!
On that note, if you’re interested in picking up the Shovel Knight amiibo, then we’d like to implore you to wait for it to release in your territory. There will be plenty and it will not be a limited run, so please don’t feel pressured into importing or buying from scalpers. Don’t spend more than the retail price! Also, keep in mind the new Shovel Knight amiibo features will not function on your game system in your territory until the listed release date. Thank you everyone for your patience!”
On Wii U and 3DS, the Shovel Knight amiibo provides these features:
– Level up to a max level of 50 by finding treasure!
– Earn relics in an all new way while uncovering all-new relics, abilities, and powers you never thought possible!
– Customize the look of your Shovel Knight with cool and crazy cosmetic options!
– Use your Custom Knight seamlessly between Nintendo 3DS and Wii U!
– Battle your way through amiibo exclusive challenge stages that take advantage of the new Custom Knight relics and abilities!
– 5 new solo challenges and 5 new co-op challenges (exclusive to Wii U) await!
And below are some details about co-op multiplayer on Wii U:
– Join a friend’s Shovel Knight campaign and shovel together!
– Use your cooperative skills to help each other out along the way!
– Compete against each other collecting gold and defeating enemies to prove who is the true hero of Shovelry!
– Play with any combination: two Custom Knights, one Custom Knight/one Classic Knight, or 2 Classic Knights.

Nintendo is supposedly removing Super Mario Maker courses with the invisible platforms glitch
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 12 Comments
One of the more publicized glitches in Super Mario Maker involved invisible platforms. This was addressed in an update last month, though levels that took advantage of it remained online.
Reports are now surfacing that these types of courses are now being removed. Nintendo hasn’t confirmed this officially, but that’s the word going around based on various user reports. One bright spot: all stars earned with the deleted levels have remained with their creators.
