Forums: Index Smash 4 Talk Shovel Knight's chances?

Aside from the Fighter Ballot, as pretty much everyone aside from Assist Trophies has a chance via that.

One thing I noted is that, although the leaked Amiibo isn't shown to be in the Smash Bros. series, the box art in the image GAME tweeted doesn't match the Amiibo pose, something I believe would be a first time case, so it could be a placeholder for an unrevealed Smash render. Another argument in favor is Nintendo's attempts at improving their relationship with independent game devs. Playable Shovel Knight would be a huge help in that.

On the other hand, Shovel Knight (the game) still hasn't been released in Japan, and every Smash Bros. character has made an appearance there. Also, we already have four 3rd-party characters, so Shovel Knight could be overkill. Thoughts? Nyargleblargle (Talk) 16:26, 27 August 2015 (EDT)

While I personally would love to see Shovel Knight playable, I think it's a bit of a stretch at the moment. It's worth noting that the boxart for the amiibo in the GAME tweet uses existing official art, although I guess that doesn't prove much. Some are taking the apparent news of a Shovel Knight amiibo existing (even assuming it isn't Smash-related) as evidence of Nintendo of Japan potentially publishing the game there. Nintendo does do such things for Western-developed games sometimes. It's a lot of speculation though. We'll see what news comes out tonight. Miles (talk) 16:45, 27 August 2015 (EDT)

I'd just like to point out that Shovel Knight wouldn't be the first character created outside of Japan.
