Shovel Knight amiibo officially announced
The Shovel Knight amiibo, which was leaked yesterday through retailer listings, has now been officially confirmed. An announcement was just made during a presentation being held at Nindies@Night.
Polygon reports that Yacht Club will be selling the figure on its own. It’s the first licensed amiibo, and Nintendo will promote the Shovel Knight figure “in line at retail” along with the other figures”.
The Shovel Knight amiibo will unlock unique content in the Wii U and 3DS games. On Wii U, the figure provides a co-op mode, and a challenge mode on both platforms.
Nintendo’s Damon Baker also teased, “There will be more Yacht Club and Shovel Knight content coming to Nintendo platforms in the future”.
The Shovel Knight amiibo will be compatible with all future Yacht Club titles on Nintendo systems.
