NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[BluePikmin11]

Changing my prediction list accordingly with leak status

Still wish I predicted Shovel Knight before he was leaked. ._.

I will wear mascara for a day if this is true.

Why not shoes?

IT'S OVER!

 

[Dravidian]

well hopping back to street fighter we now know of three more characters thanks to this
http://shoryuken.com/2015/07/08/str...-urien-rumored-to-appear-in-street-fighter-v/
the prophecy shall be fufuilled

If this rumor is true....soooo many blonds: Nash, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, R.Mika, and possibly Alex and Karin (and technically Urien). That's pretty much half the starting roster.

EDIT: I forgot Vega is blond in this game, so if that rumor is true, then at least half the roster is blond...

DENIED

 

[LIQUID12A]

Behold the only worthy character for Smash. So worthy that the worthiness of other characters will be dirt in comparison.

Has there even been an amiibo whose packaging was in a different pose than the figure?

 

[powerprotoman]

and heres more proof

[egaddmario]

That amiibo doesn't say ANYTHING about Smash though.

Spoiler

I'm grasping for straws

 

[APC99]

HOLY SMOKES

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SACRED ANYMORE

 

[Dravidian]

Is Nintendo at PAX this year? With all this news (albeit probably too early) coming out so recently you'd think they have an announcement incoming fairly soon.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

And in Sakurai's opinion. Seeing as how he's harped on about not wanting to add "any third party character".

And then Ryu happened - not only a third-party character, but one who represents all the things he's stated he does NOT want in Smash, like button combos... and guess what his core mechanics are?

Haven't we learned by now that Sakurai's word is not to be trusted?

 

[Neo Zero]

Hmm...it's from GAMEUK announcing it too? That's certainly interesting.

 

[SlickWylde]

My last bet was a joke fyi. And the one before that.

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

 

[SuperMii3D]

EDIT- Super Ninjas

 

[Spazzy_D]

That's not a Smash series Amiibo. Just saying.

 

[BluePikmin11]

1 step closer to the iconic fan-rule being broken.
Today is a good day.

I WANT IT!
Guess the Spanish retailer leak was right
It's funny because we all discredited it for some reason

 

[Swamp Sensei]

We were all bamboozled.

But dang how is that for timing.

Well that's interesting.

Has there even been an amiibo whose packaging was in a different pose than the figure?

Nope, I believe that's the first, though it could be excused since they don't have a 3D model like the others to use for it.

 

[Champ Gold]

He said that he doesn't guarantee anything, he's just reporting on a rumor and getting the info out in the open

Well considering the source (not Liam) is so confident on this situation and @PushDustIn is almost never really wrong when it comes to these things, I don't want people just crapping all over me for not believing the rumor.

I got hell on other websites for not believing Gemastu and after the ESRB & Rayman fake, I just can't believe anything unless it's similar to data mine situation.

 

[Dravidian]

That's not a Smash series Amiibo. Just saying.

Regardless, it's a first. How many non 1st party/non-smash characters have amiibo? Why is Shovel Knight getting one? Is that art a place holder? etc

 

[KenboCalrissian]

HOLY SMOKES

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SACRED ANYMORE

Thaaat's not a Smash amiibo... Deconfirmed?

 

[epicmartin7]

Of course they could still have a Smash Bros. version as well along side this.

Spoiler

ITS STILL DENIED

 

[Neo Zero]

We were all bamboozled.

But dang how is that for timing.

Actually that's a mock up. It's not the official final product.

Thats not a Smash amiibo.....

But Im certainly buying it though

 

[BluePikmin11]

I think it's time that I considered Shantae for my prediction list. Better to put than say sorry.

 

[Hank Hill]

It's always great seeing speculative "rules" being broken every now and then

Congrats Shovel Knight, and may you represent the indies well in Smash.

 

[Baskerville]

First Mika in SF5 and now this is happening

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So does this deconfirm the Smash amiibo thing?

@PushDustIn

 

[egaddmario]

WE NEED TO SEE THE STAND! IF IT HAS THE SMASH SYMBOL IT'S OVER BOYZ

 

[AreJay25]

So... I guess we can assume that this is YCG's megaton announcement.

... Right?

 

[Deleted member]

Hmm...it's from GAMEUK announcing it too? That's certainly interesting.

STOP WITH THESE RIDDLES
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

 

[TheAnvil]

I ought to make you a friendly wager - if he's in and playable (meaning you still win if he turns out to be an AT or a costume) you have to buy premium for a month and try not to enjoy the Disco Room.

I'm not saying he won't be in. I'm saying he shouldn't be in.

 

[SuperMii3D]

If it was a Smash amiibo, the boxart would say so, and it doesnt.

offical amiibo mock up boxart

 

[APC99]

So... what's the story now? Was this the huge megaton announcement, or is it still a guessing game / waiting for supposed Smash trailer?

 

[epicmartin7]

offical amiibo mock up boxart

Where does it say it's a mock-up?

 

[Neo Zero]

So does this deconfirm the Smash amiibo thing?

@PushDustIn

Not until we know what the actual product and case looks like. If anything the fact it got an Amiibo at all helps support him being in Smash.

Yep, now I really think it's serious.

Sure, there's no ssb background, but they could add the compatibility anyway.....
