For one, a report from Realty Today mentioned that there were a number of leaks about a Shovel Knight Amiibo. It comes as a total surprise for the fans and for Nintendo itself who immediately took down a web page featuring the leaked screenshot of the Amiibo figurine.
The Japanese gaming behemoth has been keeping mum on this issue. However, long before they can confirm or deny the rumors, Yacht Club Games decided to step out to settle the real score.
In the company's official statement published via their social media account, they said that speculations of the Shovel Knight being included in "Super Smash Bros 4's" upcoming character DLC list were merely a huge misunderstanding. Furthermore, they clarified that if ever SK was included in the new content, it would still be unplayable as it would not be compatible with the game's system.
However, Yacht Club Games remains grateful for the enthusiasm of gamers on the idea of adding the Shovel Knight in Nintendo's critically-acclaimed smash game. Nonetheless, they believe that the "listing was made in error."
Other characters that are also included in the DLC rumor mills are "Isaac" and "Wolf" as well as the heroes on Nintendo's own, "Splatoon."
Stay tuned for more updates.
