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

[Captain Fun]

Bold Prediction:

Stream starts, everything seems normal. The devs look like their playing the first level of Shovel Knight. However when they reach the boss, who else appears but megaman! But not to fight, but WITH AN INVITATION TO SMASH!

GET HYPED

That is bold, and unrealistic.

I see that people are getting warmed up to the idea now that it looks less likely.

#shovelboards

 

[epicmartin7]

Welp. This just lowered the chance of Shovel Knight getting revealed today.

@OurBraveHero ah, not on our channel! We're just joining in the festivities. :)

I'm trying to find a Shovel Knight x Pac-Man picture, to dress for the occasion.

I can't find anything.

God dammit Google.

That means it will be on Nintendo's stream right?

 

[OurBraveHero]

Nintendo has not said they're having a stream. It's a real-life event for people there to test games. That's all we know. People just assumed there was a stream because Yacht Club thinks there is. We have no idea now.

 

[epicmartin7]

Nintendo is actually not streaming the event I believe. I assume it's on (twitch.tv/PAX).

 

[GamerGuy09]

So there is now no information about where this stream is gonna be at? What's with this vagueness?

 

[Khoru]

Welp. This just lowered the chance of Shovel Knight getting revealed today.

wait how would that lower things
if it's part of the whole nindies event wouldn't that make it more likely
nintendo's stream has more exposure than yacht club's

ftr i think he's probably not in smash but

edit: oh ok never mind

 

[Fenriraga]

Welp.
That's that then.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Let's all remember how nintendo can be SUPER WEIRD with character reveals. Remember Pac-Man? How that was just announced behind close doors for no reason?

 

[Captain Fun]

Captain Fun? More like Captain No Fun Allowed amirite?
Jk pls dont hurt me

Oh, I see how it is.

Everyone's against me.

 

[OurBraveHero]

@OurBraveHero My understanding is that there will be a stream! I don't have much more info than that at the moment.

— Yacht Club Games - SKPD Paradox Pack OUT NOW! (@YachtClubGames) August 28, 2015

This was the initial thing showing they're not sure if there is a stream or not, btw. They're basically just guessing there is right now (I'm still talking to them)

 

[Luigi The President]

Welp.
That's that then.

Mr. Aura-san... There was something that bugged me.
After the murder of Shovel Knight in Smash, you said, after we found the murder weapon-Yacht Clubs Twitter-"Well, that's that then."
But..that settled nothing at all. So, why did you say it, then?
(this is a persona 4 reference)

 

[GamerGuy09]

Oh, I see how it is.

Everyone's against me.

Nah man you good. Honestly I'm just faking being hyped, I know it is probably nothing at all. I just love this rumor atmosphere, it's actually my favorite part of Smash is the rumors and leaks.

You truly are our brave hero, sir.
Now all you need is a shovel.

 

[Jgt044]

Going to record right now who wants to get in the photo. Quote me now if you wish to be in it.

Sorry for the late reply, but I would like to be in itt.

 

[Luigi The President]

Oh, I see how it is.

Everyone's against me.

I know the feel. But no one's against you, don't feel down. Or this was a joke and I can't read text

 

[AreJay25]

So... there's no stream at all? Or am I not reading this right?

 

[OurBraveHero]

@OurBraveHero No no, its cool. I wish I could be more helpful, but we'll just have to wait and see!

— Yacht Club Games - SKPD Paradox Pack OUT NOW! (@YachtClubGames) August 28, 2015

When the company putting the game out is like "we'll have to wait and see" if there's an actual stream for their "megaton reveal", that's a pretty bad sign. haha

Uhhhhh....
I've literally only played Arena so I dunno how to respond to that.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

So no Shovel Knight reveal?

That sucks.

 

[epicmartin7]

I guess it's my fault for getting too excited. My thought was that it was going to be on their twitch channel. Sorry guys .

 

[Captain Fun]

It was a joke, but I think everyone's probably a bit wound up to tell.

Or maybe I'm too wound up to tell them.

 

[NintenZ]

So no Shovel Knight reveal?

That sucks.

I guess it's my fault for getting too excited. My thought was that it was going to be on their twitch channel. Sorry guys .

No it's okay everyone we still don't know yet.

 

[domokl]

so the shovel knight leak probably wont be confirmed or deconfirmed for a while..... oh boy.

 

[Solfiner]

If there isn't a reveal today Yacht Club is gonna have to dig themselves out of the situation.

 

[OurBraveHero]

No it's okay everyone we still don't know yet.

Well we know it's not on THEIR Twitch Channel, but I mean I guess it could be on the PAX Twitch Channel or Nintendos. But Nintendo hasn't announced them having a stream or Treehouse or anything for it so... seems like PAX channel is best bet?

 

[domokl]

also didn't tam say in one of his posts that sk would acutally be revealed a month or two?

 

[Luigi The President]

Uhhhhh....

Just don't respond...let it exist

Yo yoo hook a brotha upp

 

[BluePikmin11]

If there isn't a reveal today Yacht Club is gonna have to dig themselves out of the situation.

I know who can help:

@OurBraveHero No no, its cool. I wish I could be more helpful, but we'll just have to wait and see!

These next two days are going to be painful.

 

[NintenZ]

Just in case we should post the links for all three.

 

[Burb]

The Megaton announcement is that there is no announcement.

Spoiler

That or John Cena

 

[OurBraveHero]

also didn't tam say in one of his posts that sk would acutally be revealed a month or two?

Well Yacht Club was still saying they are having announcements there. But honestly, if Nintendo isn't actually streaming the event, I would think that would mean there are no BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS for Nintendo themselves there.. so yeah pretty sure if there's no Nintendo stream then definitely no Smash stuff tonight.

Edit: They said they are talking about Plague of Shadows and beyond, so their reveal could literally just be what the next DLC will be; either King or Specter.

 

[Solfiner]

The Megaton announcement is that there is no announcement.

Spoiler

That or John Cena

Seriously though, I'm guessing that it's the Amiibo. Not really a "Megaton" announcement imo, but whatever.

 

[Neo Zero]

By the way, all this talk of a Leaks group themed Smash Bros. makes me want to ask Xanber Mobus to say "SMASHBOARDS!" and certain users' names in his announcer voice.

"BURB!" "VAANROOOOSE!" "PUSHDUSTIIIIN!" "BLUEPIKMIN11!"

And so on.

Kenith please ;-;

 

[Firus]

also didn't tam say in one of his posts that sk would acutally be revealed a month or two?

He said within a month or two, I believe, which means it technically could be announced tonight but we could be in for a long wait, too.
