GAME Brighton claims that a Shovel Knight amiibo is happening
Update 4: GAME is now taking pre-orders for the Shovel Knight amiibo.
Update 3: Bumped to the top. 4u2play’s listing is interesting, as it mentions co-op on Wii U and the ability to customize Shovel Knight.
Here’s the full translation (thanks Jake):
Coop Multiplayer (Wii U exclusive)
- Enter a friends’ game and shovel together!
- Special Coop-Moves support you on your journey together.
Full flexibility:
- Enter the level where you destroy your enemies and find precious treasures
- Earn never seen relicts, skills and powers.
- Alter the appearance of your Shovel Knight with cool cosmetic details.
User your personal amiibo seamless on Wii U and 3DS.
- The Shovel Knight amiibo will work with all Nintendo Products that Yacht Club Games will create in the near future.
- Compatible with Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Wii U.
Update 2: The Shovel Knight amiibo has also been listed by 4u2play.
Update: GAME’s tweet has been removed. We also have another, higher-quality image of the supposed amiibo from Reddit.
Is Shovel Knight getting its own amiibo? A tweet from UK retailer GAME claims that a figure based on Yacht Club Games’ character will actually be happening.
GAME Brighton posted the following on Twitter today:
