Shovel Knight Amiibo

Product Information

What I still don't get is that the traditional games to life setup is an entire game that you can't play unless you buy a horde of figures...Nintendo makes optional Figures and they sold their sold and sacrificed babies. Why is there not this level of disdain for Skylanders/DI/LD?

That bread comparison is bad. Anyone can make bread and no-one owns bread. Amiibo is owned by nintendo and only them. Plus amiibos cant be used to feed people (unless they have pica). Just imagine a product. Only one person owns that product and produces that product. A person comes along with a device that can clone that product and only that. He sells that product and makes a profit, without the owner seeing any of it. People buy the cloning device instead of the original product, causing the owner to lose money. All the products sold are still his products, but he dosent profit even though he owns it.That bread comparison is bad. Anyone can make bread and no-one owns bread. Amiibo is owned by nintendo and only them. The glistening gallant is set to launch alongside the upcoming physical release of the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove for Nintendo Switch on 31st December.

All platforms have games with free content, and all platforms have games selling extra content up the yin yang. Amiibo (officially stylized as amiibo) is a brand of toys-to-life figurines, cards, and other products developed by Nintendo. Due to its runaway success, the Nintendo versions of the games of the Shovel Knight series have, among other things, the luxury to possess specific Shovel Knight-themed amiibo. I thought we could try starting fresh, keeping things civil. Provided that's ok with you of course. I am reading you posts. I read alot of things. Like the legal information in Nintendo's software, where it says: YOU DO NOT OWN THIS PRODUCT. YOU OWN A COPY. YOU DO NOT OWN THE CODE OF THIS SOFTWARE AND ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TOO SHARE THE CODE. If it was content being removed from a game and sectioned off it would e one thing, but that's never, not once been the case. It's always, from day one, been content that would have never been included otherwise. This Shovel Knight amiibo is further proof of that. Amiibo weren't even a thing when the game released. Yet here we are, and people accusing the amiibo content of having "should have been included for free" based on one thing alone- the fact it was created for amiibo. It's discrimination at it's purest form.Again, it. Is. Not. Stealing. They don't give a single penny to Nintendo, true. They're copying, sharing Amiibo data. I am not the one spewing garbage, it is those defending terrible, hobby breaking practices. But hey, you guys are apologists. Nintendo can't do no wrong in your eyes and you'd defend them if they murdered your child.

Damon Baker, Nintendo of America's Senior Marketing Manager of Publisher and Developer Relations, had this to say:Yacht Club Games - which recently had to deny rumours that the amiibo was coming - is understandably pleased with the news, too: That's a very good summarization of my thoughts on the matter. One of the biggest fallacies is that "co-op should be free". No such thing. When you get co-op in a game, it's because you paid for it with the price of the game. It wasn't free- none of the game's content was "free". You paid real money for that mode. Content doesn't make itself, and it's definitely not free. So if you pay for co-op in every other game that has it, why should people NOT pay for it now? But then they say "Oh well it should be included for the price". If that's how they really felt they would've been saying that when the game released, not now- some 18 months later. Up til now, everyone has agreed it's been a full game. So if that's true, how can one then demand more content, beyond a full game, for free? It's not like they just flip a switch and "Presto!" Game now has 2-player. Not how it works. There's real, actual work and development that goes into creating co-op modes. Characters, stage layout tweaking, difficulty, balancing, bug-testing.. Should an honest studio not get paid for their work? Think about it this way: if a man has a loaf of bread and I take it from him without his consent, that is stealing. But if I have a device that can make a copy of this physical item, the bread, and I do so and thus get a free loaf of bread, would you say this is stealing? Is this immoral? Is it stealing because I didn't go to the grocery store an buy a loaf myself? Just take a moment and think about that for a while. Would you sleep well at night if you banned the cloning device? Is that man a theif? Also gamers are the only consumers I've seen have melt downs about new features...even smartphone fans that know their new shiny is obsolete in a year don't complain like this. If no Amiibo was made, if no new modes were created, if the game were left "as is"...we would all feel we got our money's worth and that the game was a real indie gem.

No no no. The TYPE of content isn't new (well some is), but the content itself is content that never would have been developed or included otherwise. Just because Game A has a certain feature doesn't mean Game B automatically has to include it free. Otherwise every game on the planet would have to include every feature every other game has ever included. It's not feasible. Not only that, games are different. What may be standard for one game may not be for another. Game A has Feature X but charges for Y. Game B has Feature Y but charges for X. Different games have different designs. What is common for one game may be completely extra for another. Special Moves are a grab bag of fun. Try them all out and see what Custom Knight combination works best for you! Dash Boots On the Profile Select or Level Map screen, press the button to bring up the amiibo scan menu. When the menu appears, scan your Shovel Knight amiibo by tapping it to your console’s NFC Reader/Writer.

Via the use of the Shovel Knight, Specter Knight, Plague Knight, King Knight, and Gold Edition amiibo As advice to gamers I always say support and pay for what you want more of. That's why people who pirate games, especially in niche genres are destroying their own past-time. Meanwhile, my biggest complaint about Amiibo is the same as always and is being fixed too gradually. Scarcity is helping no one but scalpers and it takes the fun out of it the in-game features undermining the whole system.
