Forums - Gaming - Good News: Co-op for Shovel Knight No Longer Locked Behind An Amiibo

Dravenet7 on 11 January 2017

                                           

Yacht Club games released a ton of information not too long ago.  This includes:

- Nintendo Switch Port 

- Treasure Trove 

- Gender Swaps

- Battle Mode

- Rebranding of content

 

However the biggest thing for me is that the Shovel Knight amiibo no longer locks co-op. It's coming to all home console platforms.

Like I said in my previous thread, I liked the funtionality of being able to manipulate the character and transfer the data to the amiibo. Now that was good funtionality. The co-op lock con massively outweighs the pros. This is great.

Furthermore, they also stated, there may be funtionality on the Swiitch. I really think and hope this means Yacht Club has realized the good and bad funtionality of Amiibo and are taking better steps to improve the Shovel Knight Amiibo's quality.

Here is the link to the information:

That's nice and all, but who doesn't want the Shovel Knight Amiibo?

Few I would assume, but its nothing against the amiibo itself. It's just great because if you have the amiibo but only have the PS4 ( I know more than a couple of people who do why though???) you still can't play the multiplayer. Now it's possible!

Definitely good news, but still have yet to play the games

Everyone version of this game not on the wii U?

Amiibos doesnt work on other consoles, so it was either never a co-op mode in them or it was already available.

the fact that co-op was locked behind Amiibo in the first place is one of the reasons I dislike how the whole amiibo thing has been worked out.

Glad its no longer like that. Coming to all versions? I might pick it up now.

Except this was by far the worst exemple of amiibo use and it was actually made by Yatch Club Games that also produced the amiibo, not Nintendo, in most cases the content is so irrelevant people dont even know it until buys an amiibo and tries it.

Sometimes the content put on some amiibo are pretty stupid, like this one, but it's not one I want to go away. I love being able to get some of my favorite characters as figurines~

That is pretty much how the amiibo sells.  Most people just want them as figurines.  The dlc locked behind them is pretty shitty if you ask me.  Makes a little sense with them used in Smash but locking entire levels and other game modes is a no no for me.
