If you can find him that is. *Sigh*

Well, it's real:

The Amiibo that is. Seems like the Smash-thing won't happen.

Well, now I have to buy one.

I live in Germany, of course I can. Amiibos actually exist around here.

Am I the only who gets a feeling that we're only going to get N64 stages as DLC? Because they're easy to work on, they work on 3DS, and Nintendo has made all of the DLC cross buy so far, so 3DS owners don't get left out.

I don't think Shovel Knight is officially in the game yet. I see a lot of people on Gamefaqs getting butt hurt over the idea of him being DLC. I like Shovel Knight a lot, so I will be cool with him in Smash.

The idea of only getting N64 stages is kind of why I haven't bothered with them anymore :lol

And I'm still rather indifferent to Shovel Knight.

Shovel Knight as a fighter would be cool. But I really think the issue for people is whether he's "Smash Worthy" as a 3rd party character. Considering you have 4 of the biggest videogame characters as third party entries, people expect a lot from that category. Plus, he's kind of being held up by the community as the indie sacred lamb for Nintendo.

I'm kind of hoping that they make exclusive DLC stages for 3DS and WiiU.

Why?

Because i like how the stage selections for both versions are incredibly different, making them share the same DLC stages kind of takes away from that.

But it's actually a good reason to share DLC.
It prevents either console from getting too much attention. It means they can't just pile on DLC for the Wii U version while shrugging their shoulders to the millions who bought it on 3DS (Which has over twice as many total sales than the Wii U's copy).

It's not taking away anything, ultimately. There are 4 DLC stages, and all but one (Suzaku Castle) are just N64 stages. The variety of stages is still there. But boo fucking hoo. Wii U doesn't get Peach's Castle all to itself.
