Wii U Shovel Knight Co-Op: What You Need to Know

Shovel Knight, the critically acclaimed platformer from Yacht Club Games, has finally arrived on Wii U with a unique co-op feature that sets it apart from other games in the series. For those unfamiliar, this feature allows players to tackle the entire story mode with a friend on a single screen using an Amiibo, which unlocks co-op functionality.

One of the most exciting aspects of Shovel Knight is its cosmetic customization options, available on both Wii U and 3DS versions. With the use of Amiibos, players can share some of these customizations between platforms, allowing for seamless transitions between devices. In addition to this, the Amiibo itself serves as a key to unlock co-op play.

As we await the next wave of Amiibos, Shovel Knight stands out as a standout title that offers something unique and exciting in its co-op feature. With its spectacular gameplay and customization options, this game is sure to be on many gamers' wish lists come holiday season. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of platformers, Shovel Knight is an experience not to be missed.
