Shovel Knight is getting his own amiibo, and its the first amiibo from an indie game. It will be released sometime this year, but the exact release date is unknown.
It will unlock a two-player co-operative mode in Shovel Knight for Wii U, and adds a ton of new things to Shovel Knight for Wii U and 3DS. Yacht Club Games will be handling the production of the Shovel Knight amiibo, so there might not be very many supply problems.
