Spanish retailer XtraLife has recently put up a listing for a Shovel Knight amiibo. What is also interesting is that the amiibo is set to be part of the Super Smash Bros amiibo lineup. Now we all know that we were able to choose who we wanted to see added to Super Smash Bros in a recent ballot. There’s a possibility that Shovel Knight was the winning character and therefore Nintendo has decided to release him as an amiibo. Of course, this is all speculation at this point.
Update: Shovel Knight developers claim that the listing isn’t accurate, but they would love a Shovel Knight amiibo.
@kalmarc3 Afraid not. If it was, we would be shouting it from the rooftops! Maybe one day…

Thanks to those who sent this in.
isn’t that picture from smashified
Thought the same. That is the fan-made pose and design
Dammit! Thought it was too good to be true when I posted it. It’s very odd that the retailer has created a listing for it on their website though. I’m trying to rack my brains as to whether they have leaked stuff in the past, but I’m coming up blank.
You dont shove up a listing because you find a picture of it online through, who’d find a picture of a fan-made Ridley amiibo and go “Oh, do we sell this? Better put it up just in case”
Either its a Placeholder, a Troll, or a Darwinian level of idiocy…
Below the fake pictures it says: *Imagen no definitiva.
Meaning: *Not the final image.
So maybe they’re using the fanart until it’s confirmed.
On amiibo alerts instagram page they said that the person who put it up said that they got a paper saying to put it up

This uses artsyomni’s Smashified artwork, and is fake.
isn’t the the smashified design in the picture or are the just using that as an example and it isn’t the “actual box”
This is fake. The artwork is not origional and is made by the same person who made that fake Raymay Smash leak. Here is the video where he creates the artwork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFple_OL7IM
First
This isn’t Youtube.
It would have been cool though.
omfg, it’s just an example, it doesn’t mean it’s fake lmao
Yes because it’s not like YachtClubGames already confirmed it was fake. Oh wait a minute….

If this was real I would have called salt but-
That art is made by the Smashified team.
Did Shovel Knight get voted in as a DLC character in Smash? If this is true this will be great and could be a strong indication that Bayonetta and possibly Shantae will most likely follow since they were very popular with Nintendo fans on the Smash Bros ballot polls………..at least in North America and Europe
Now I take that back. This resembles the same type of art that’s done by the Smashified team but why would a Spanish retailer list this? Oh well we’ll find out in 2 months who won the ballots
Of all the characters people choose to vote for Shovel Knight and Shantae. Sooooooo exciting….
this pos instead of bayonetta? smh
perhaps they’re using the fanart as a placeholder, people, we don’t know yet.
Yes we fucking do. Shovel Knight isn’t that popular.
“Shovel Knight isn’t that popular”
*Snicker* Okay. Whatever you say.~
YachtClub denouced it as fake
But they would love to have him in
Fake as shit.
Why would someone even put this up as news ? Lol.
That would have been a pretty realistic amiibo
If this happens then it will be a testament to people’s stupidity.
Smash Bros. is supposed to be about legendary characters, not the flavor of the month.
Shovel Knight IS a legendary character, he’s the ultimate Indie hero.
I think the same could be said about Quote from Cave Story. One does not simply talk about the indie scene without bringing up Cave Story as it’s regarded as legendary as well.
