Welp. It looks like there are more "surprises" in store for Shovel Knight (the game itself).

Well we already know that atleast 1 more OoNQ Knight is gonna get the Plague Knight treatment
So dere's dat

Holy crap these things are awesome.

I wish Xenoblade X had Amiibo support for these characters.

Oh what I would give to have a Skell styled after Pit.

Specter Knight and King Knight getting their playable mode. Battle mode and co-op and challenges from the amiibo support.

 

[epicmartin7]

Eh... I didn't really want to report this, but I'll post it here if anyone has any interest in this.

Spoiler

I wouldn't put too much faith into the November 12th "rumor" (if you even call it that lol), but this is mainly so we can keep track of information just in case something pops up. Again, this is mainly for archival purposes. Don't put too much stock into this until something pops up.

Well, they could always be hinting at other new content coming to the game possibly. We really don't know at this point. *insert shrugging meme*

Bro, he designed a Robin Skell and that's awesome considering it's based off of both Male and Female

Spoiler: this game has jank physics

[Icedragonadam]

Isn't the November 12th thing just a copypaste from the facebook post about a direct coming on the 5th or 6th or something?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My problem with yokai watch is that there really is no yokai I look at and am like "Ooh I want that on my team" like pokemon

IIRC, it's from the same guy, but he said they might delay it lol

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Yo-kai watch is fun so far. Getting lots of cool Yo-kai. Also, at one point in the game they switch your hunting feature with a clock feature to show you had a clock you could use...but then I ended up wondering why I didn't have the Yo-kai hunting feature. So it took me a while to realize I could switch between clock and hunt mode.

Which Pokemon got that reaction from you?

Mine was Gardevoir, if that wasn't obvious, and Espeon.

No. The Nintendo Direct was corrupted. That's why they had to delay it.

Glad you enjoy it BL!

I thought I was going to have that problem as well.

But I think the thing is, I just get random Yo-kai, put them on my team, then see how fun or not. And I'm surprised how much I enjoy some of the Yo-kai I thought I wouldn't like. There is a pretty decent diversity here.

With that said, I can't say there are many Yo-kai that hooked me yet. Jibanyan, Noway, and Cicada guy are pretty cool though.

[PsychoIncarnate]

Actually, since I have no affinity toward any yokai, it may help me focus more on competitive play since stats would really be the thing I'd care about

Probably just news on the other DLC campaigns for Shovel Knight, it's been a while since Plague Knight came out.

 

[Champ Gold]

Screw Plauge Knight, I wanna play as King Knight.

It's not often you get to play as royalty in a platformer

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Thanks to all his cameos Shovel Knight has now been in more games than a good chunk of Smash characters.

 

[Chrono.]

November 12th is the new October 23rd.

 

[Z25]

Looks like it is...

The new Xenoblade is supposedly coming out this Holiday season.

Thanks!

And the one line that had me was when Diego was a price in a play and said come get some of this prince! I was like:
"This sounds a bit to sexual...."

Screw Plauge Knight, I wanna play as King Knight.

But he is a phony royal... His crown is fake...

True, but why call them surprises? Maybe there are other campaigns or modes we don't know about?

...What about Prince of Persia? Pretty sure the original game is an action platformer.

Well, the AMA is interesting for one reason. The way they answer questions. I could potentially see the AMA be filled with "Is Shovel Knight in Smash" posts and that would be a good time to keep an eye on YCG. It would be to see how they behave and react towards those questions. This would be a good indicator if they're being suspicious or not.

Spoiler

And of course, find out some more information on potential news for more Shovel Knight content coming in the future .

I never played a Prince of Persia game so I wouldn't know

Dont let the "rumor" stop you from playing shovel knight.Its a really fun game with a lot charm and challenge. You wouldn't be disappointed

 

[Naoshi]

ahahaha good god that direct "leak"

it says something that ive lost count on how many times i thought to myself "this is the saddest attempt at a leak ever" on many leaks



EDIT: Also keep Cloud the **** out of my Smash Brothers.

I've been turned off of your post.

Seriously.
You didn't have to read the post, Nintenzilla. It was spoilered.

You took the option to open the spoiler.
You took the option to read the contents.
You took the option to complain over something you could have easily ignored.

You are nothing but a broken record at this point.

 

[AreJay25]

I want there to be a Direct on the 12th, but I want it to be 100% different compared to the "leak".

Just to see reactions.

 

[NintenZ]

I think I will, I've heard really good things about Plauge of Shadows in particular, I think I'll give it a go. (Right after I see that Dora timeskip as I'm rather curious of its weirdness, expect me back in about 20 minutes)

 

[Wario Bros.]

I don't trust that Direct "leak".

or most "leaks" from 4chan for that matter.

 

[Kenith]

Remember the last time the contents of a Nintendo Direct were leaked? No?
Me neither...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Come to think of it, how many games has shovel knight appeared in/set to appear in? I cant find a list.

Let's see

Shovel Knight itself
Road Redepmtion
Runbow
Indivisible
Schasle-vania woops er, I mean Bloodstained

I'm sure I'm missing some... Help me out.

I remember the one time Nintendo leaked a Direct before it was supposed to air.
Though I was asleep when it happened.

I didn't, I knew it was about SK in the first place, but yeah, I'll ignore, as I see I'm kinda a broken record. I've let it get to me when I shouldn't have.

Also, this doesn't include Indivisible.

Well. A lot of Direct "Leaks" in March were pointing towards a Direct on April 1st. Eventually, a Nintendo Direct was announced on that date, coincidentally, with all the "leaks" being fake. So I could see history repeating and having one being announced on the 12th, except having no correlation with these "leaks" whatsoever. It would just be a pure coincidence .

 

[Kenith]

That was the Rosalina Smash reveal? I remember that.
Doesn't count!

Speaking of Indivisible, that looks great. Why does it look like its going to fail
