Yacht Club Games Officially Reveals The Shovel Knight Gold Edition amiibo

Was it a leak, when you could preorder it from gstop and Best Buy (since yesterday)?

Guess it’s to make shovel knight available as an amiibo along with the others... I don’t think the original is still in stores, right?

Oh great, ANOTHER thing I need to spend on. By january 2020 not even the government can save me from the debt I owe from these games and stuff.

My heart says yes but my college savings says no

I'm going to get it. Missed out on Piranha Plant (looks at extortionate eBay prices and immediately clutches hand in regret) and I don't want to make the same mistake again, especially not with this one.

Pre-ordered! This is a beautiful Amiibo.

Looks fantastic, but since it gives the same unlocks as the regular Shovel Knight amiibo (which I already have), I think I'm gonna pass on it. I may end up regretting it though.

Are amiibo even still used in games? What's the purpose of them? Collectibles?

Pre-ordered it but I doubt I will be buying any more amiibos, then again I said this years ago with the Wii U. I am honestly not even sure about it, but who knows because I realized how the original one is going for over $40 on Amazon right now.

Picture looks really nice. Glad the fans can grab this.

Really surprised there's no Fire Emblem Three Houses amiibo, the 3 lords would be an easy sell especially as you can use amiibo in game.

A piece of plastic molded into a knight with just some gold paint??? Yes I need one.

@BensonUii yes I figured that would be the reason for this release. The original came out a long time ago now.

Interestingly, it seems they cannot sell these without the foil thingy that prevents people from scanning them without opening the package anymore.

I never took my original Shovel Knight out of the package because that one doesn’t have that.

@TheAwesomeBowser you can get Piranha Plant from Nintendo UK store for £12.99. It’s in stock at this very moment - ships late September.

@lyle_catcliffe I'm in Australia, sorry.

I understand that people like Shovel Knight, but how is it getting all these amiibos? It now has more amiibos than a lot of Nintendo franchises. It's not even as if it's a franchise that's exclusive to Nintendo consoles. I don't really get it.

@TheAwesomeBowser There's one listed on Amazon AU currently for $33, which is a $10 markup of retail but I guess isn't too crazy. Is a Japanese one apparently so the box won't match local if thats important to you.

Hang on, why is this a "leak" now? I've seen this listed on base.com for months now so I kind of assumed it was already announced.

Well that is rather sexy

@Smigit Thanks.

I already have a Shovel Knight amiibo, but it's good that they're reprinting them for people who don't.

Could have at least done a different pose

Now I really wish I had the Switch version

🤔 Didn't have to think too long on this one. Didn't even need the SKU code; they were ready for me at a GameStop Premier.

he is pretty and shiny!

I'm afraid I can't shovel any of my funds for this, but I would love to have one. Very pretty.
