A new Nintendo Direct will be held tomorrow, September 4, Nintendo has just announced. The roughly 40-minute presentation will focus on games for 2019, including Pokemon Sword/Shield and Luigi’s Mansion 3.
It will go live at the following times:
Rumblings of a new gold Shovel Knight amiibo date back to last year. However, Yacht Club Games has yet to say anything about such a figure, and it seemed unlikely to happen at this point. Yet within the past couple of days, fans have noticed that the mystery amiibo has been available to pre-order at GameStop.
The gold Shovel Knight amiibo actually isn’t present on GameStop’s website (at least currently). Having said that, there are numerous reports of consumers being able to reserve it in store. It is officially listed as “Gold Shovel Knight for Switch” and costs $15.99.
There’s still no word on when it could release, and Yacht Club Games still hasn’t made an official announcement. We know that the Shovel Knight series has a new 3-pack dropping in December, but the only news we’ve had about this particular amiibo comes from retailers. Hopefully we’ll have a better understanding about what’s planned soon.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the game that keeps giving. Well over two years since the game’s launch, players continue to discover new aspects that were previously unknown or at least not widely publicized.
The latest example of this has to do with fish. Did you know that it only takes whistling to catch fish much more quickly? Reddit user charlieboy95 shared this finding with the community, which was quickly met with surprise.
