With an Amiibo figurine already out in the market, it seems pretty clear that Shovel Knight would occupy one of the rumored three DLC characters that will be coming to “Super Smash Bros 4” soon.
When Nintendo learned of the leaked screenshot of the Amiibo figurine of Shovel Knight in a website, the Japanese gaming company immediately deleted the web page.
Since Nintendo has been keeping mum about the whole thing, Yacht Club Games, the creator of “Shovel Knight” decided to come out by issuing a statement to clarify the rumors and set the records straight.
In an official statement made via Twitter, Yacht Club Games said that Shovel Knight being included in the listing of possible new DLC characters to “Super Smash Bros 4” is a misunderstanding while the Shovel Knight Amiibo is apparently not compatible with the game and would render it unplayable.
The developer added that while they appreciate the enthusiasm of gamers on the idea of Shovel Knight becoming the next DLC character on “Super Smash Bros 4,” it said that its inclusion in the listing was an error.
“Shovel Knight” has a big following, which is the reason why it has created excitement for the fans when rumors about the character possibly joining “Super Smash Bros 4″ came out.
