During a Pre-PAX event, Nintendo made a few announcements. One of these announcements was a new Amiibo figure. This figure was made in collaboration with Indie developer Yacht Club Games. The figure, made as a companion to their game Shovel Knight. The Shovel Knight Amiibo is going to be the first official Amiibo for a third-party game. The figure will be produced and distributed by Yacht Club Games. It seems like Nintendo will only be involved in the advertising process. The Shovel Knight Amiibo will unlock exclusive features for the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game. Cooperative Multiplayer (exclusive to Wii U)!

Final Thoughts
Personally, I think that Nintendo is using the possibility of Amiibo figures as an incentive for third-party developers. It is exciting to who else (if anyone else) will get Amiibo figures, in terms of third-party developers. What are your thoughts on the Shovel Knight Amiibo? I think he looks great.
