PAX is just around the corner, and Nintendo fans are eagerly anticipating some exciting news. One of the most anticipated announcements is the potential inclusion of Shovel Knight in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U. Rumors have been swirling about this possibility for a while now, but new information has emerged that suggests it may indeed be happening.

As many gamers know, Shovel Knight is an indie game that was originally released on the Wii U and 3DS, so it's no surprise that fans are hoping to see it join the Smash Bros. roster. The game has since been ported to other platforms, but its Nintendo roots make it a natural fit for inclusion in the popular fighting game.

Last week, a listing for a Shovel Knight amiibo was spotted on a Spanish retailer, which sparked even more speculation about the character's potential involvement in Super Smash Bros. However, without official confirmation from Nintendo or Yacht Club Games (the developer behind Shovel Knight), it's difficult to say whether this is just a false listing or a genuine tease.

The Fighter Ballot, announced months ago, has been a hot topic among fans, with Shovel Knight being one of the most requested characters to be added to the game. And now, another rumor has surfaced that may have some merit thanks to some teasing by the developer themselves.

With all these rumors and hints, it's hard not to get excited about the possibility of Shovel Knight joining the Super Smash Bros. roster. Nintendo Life is reporting that numerous sources, including those with a track record of accuracy, are saying that Shovel Knight will indeed be coming to the game.

While we'll have to wait until PAX or another official announcement from Nintendo to confirm whether Shovel Knight is actually joining the fight, fans can't help but feel optimistic about this possibility. With its unique blend of action and platforming, Shovel Knight would bring a fresh perspective to the world of Super Smash Bros.

So, will Shovel Knight be making its way into the latest installment of Super Smash Bros.? We'll just have to wait and see what PAX has in store for us. But one thing is for sure - fans are eagerly anticipating any new information that may come their way.
