Nintendo isn’t actually making the Shovel Knight Amiibo — indie studio Yacht Club Games is

Nintendo’s letting an indie studio make its own Amiibo figure. And that could mean we’ll see a whole new bunch of the popular interactive figures which are proving a big earner for the Japanese gaming giant.

Nintendo recently announced a new interactive Amiibo figure for the indie platformer Shovel Knight, compatible with both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game. It’ll open up new features in the game, including cooperative multiplayer. But it turns out that the maker of Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games, is actually responsible for designing and creating the figure, right down to the packaging. Yacht Club’s getting the factory that makes the figures for the popular toy/game hybrid Disney Infinity to produce the new Amiibo.
