U&I Entertainment Shovel Knight Amiibo - Nintendo Wii U

My 9 year old and I have been playing through  Shovel Knight - Wii U  together. It's great fun, and makes me wish there was more co-operative platformers in this vein. With the amiibo you can assign either first or second player to be "Custom Knight" where your moves are unlocked by they amount of money you collect, rather than upgrades you would normally obtain. Your character info is saved inside the amiibo. Joining is drop-in style, but can only be done between levels. There is a wide variety of extra relics and moves appropriated from the Plague of Shadows expansion. My favorite part is the fun cosmetic costumes, with over 50 color palettes and other gimmicks to unlock. Apparently you can have both players as Custom Knight with two amiibo (!), though I have not tried this.Other reviews have claimed there was poor paintwork on the amiibo, but mine looks great. Thank you Yacht Club Games for this fun experience.PS: DON'T BUY THIS FOR MORE THAN MSRP ESPECIALLY FROM ANY CRIMINIALS HAVING YOUR ORDER "FULFILLED BY AMAZON" !!!! SEE ATTACHED PHOTO !!!

The way this figure interacts with the game should be the standard for amiibo functionality. It changes the game in big ways, all positive. When you level the figure up, a new relic, ability, or aesthetic change will unlock and you can switch between them freely at any time, and everything is saved to the figure. You can unlock co-op on the Wii U and use all of your Shovel Knight's gear and costumes with a pal, as well as use your custom knight across save files on 3DS and Wii U. Overall, totally awesome in appearance and sculpt quality, and even more awesome in functionality. If you like the game, and even if you think you're 'done' with Shovel Knight, this will be all you want and more. At least it was for me!

This toy actually got me to play the game, and the game is now one of my favorite games.I am a New-In-Box collector, so it was extremely nice to be able to use this Amiibo while in the box.And not only that, I've never felt that Amiibo had enough use to justify opening them, let alone using them at all, but this one is different.This is the first time that an Amiibo felt extremely useful. To add multiplayer functionality, or to allow you to be a custom knight with all of your save data on it, is just amazing.This is by far the best utilization of an Amiibo so far, and absolutely worth having if you're playing the game. I'm actually proud to have this because it's a little statue of an amazing experience I've had.

Wow this amiibo dose a lot more than the Smash ones. I'm enjoying the ability to level and customize my Shovel Knight and play co-op with my kids. You can even have him tag alone with you in single player mode. If you enjoy Amiibo or the Shovel Knight games this item is a must have. I hope to see more Shovel Knight line amiibo like this one in the future.The figure itself is nicely detailed and it almost screams for you to customize it with your own touches, but that is up to you if you feel confident in doing that. I've seen some excellent ones floating around the Internet so feel free to try your hand.

This item was labeled as used in good condition. I found absolutely no flaws in this item. My Son was super excited to receive it and complete his collection. This vendor was top notch!

At first you needed it to play co-op on Wii u and Switch but since more recent updates you no longer need the amiibo for co-op. The main appeal of this amiibo is so you can play as a "custom knight". The difference being that instead of collecting treasure and using it to buy upgrades in the game, collecting treasure as a custom knight is like gaining experience points and after gaining a certain amount you level up and gain a relic or something for shovel knight and another color pallet choice. There are some extra relics that can only be obtained as a custom knight. Max level is 50 so you won't get to max level until near the end of the game. Also there is a person in town that will give you the option to summon a shovel fairy if you scan the amiibo. It doesn't effect the gameplay but it flies around and does silly or adorable things.Also an important note is that if you are playing co-op and both players want to play as a custom knight you will need 2 shovel knight amiibos, one for each player. However, you can still play with one player as a custom knight and one not being a custom knight if you only have one amiibo.I would have given it 5 stars if it was a necessity for co-op but since it is no longer that way I'd say it gets 4 stars. It adds some extra fun and variety to an already awesome game.

This amiibo is a beautiful piece of technology. I cannot say for the 3ds version, but it has connected flawlessly with the wii u gamepad. The design looks great as well. It is connected solidly with its base, and looks to stand the test of time. The features this amiibo brings to the table are in my opinion, the best of amiibo so far. It adds challenges, character level ups, and multiplayer mode, among other things. I hope that Nintendo will see this flawless amiibo and think to give future amiibo more functionality.

This Amiibo unlocks SO much stuff, I love it. Shovel Knight is my favorite game of the past few years, and I was more than happy to purchase an Amiibo to get access to Co-Op, Custom Knight and more. Also, it works in the box! It's the only Amiibo to do so. I took it out, but if you're a collector who still wants to be able to use it, definitely go for it.

El juego de Shovel Knight es adictivo, tiene reto y es algo que todos deben jugar, se complementa a la perfección este amiibo con el lanzamiento del juego, es un personaje al cual es fácil tenerle aprecio y la figura está muy bien lograda, los detalles y las dimensiones.La función del amiibo es desbloquear un nuevo modo cooperativo para dos jugadores, así que lo hace más divertido aún. Si gustan del juego y de coleccionar amiibos es un obligado a la colección. Llegó en excelentes condiciones el empaque y todo perfecto con el servicio de Amazon.

Otro Amiibo a buen precio aquí en Amazon, a pesar de que son cada vez más escasos. Buena calidad general.

Shovel Knight es un excelente título que hace homenaje a los juegos de antaño. El diseño del personaje es simple pero no por eso menos interesante. La figura está genial y tiene gran funcionalidad con el juego. Fue una excelente alternativa conseguir el producto por medio de Amazon pues muchas personas e incluso compañías han sacado provecho vendiendo estas figuras por encima de su precio comercial. ¡Gracias Amazon!

Shovel Knight, uno de los juegos independientes más importantes de nuestra generación, ahora tiene su propio amiibo. Por supuesto que necesitas un Wii U o un New Nintendo 3DS (o un lector de amiibos para el 3DS normal) para poder usarlo con tu juego. El diseño es precioso, fiel al personaje, y los extra que se desbloquean al usarse con el juego son cuantiosos. Muy recomendado.

Pedí un amiibo y llegó un videojuego... terrible compra
