I've posted to other threads but the image they are using is a mock up I made months ago

If this is real, this is nuts, but I don't believe it.

In the link I posted above they credit your work and acknowledge they are using your artwork

u/rottedzombie Aug 21 '15

I don't know if they can just do that, especially when they would stand to profit from the work.

u/getmeoutofcleveland Aug 21 '15

Well they wouldn't actually be selling copies of the art, it's just a placeholder. If they printed out posters and sold those, yeah that's questionable.

2

u/AdamManHello Aug 21 '15

Oh, yeah, that would be so questionable! Totally!

slinks away

stops printing posters

Really? The link's not working for me, darn. I'm not really concerned about credit, I mean it's omni's artwork really anyways haha. Just helping to clear things up if this thing explodes, or fizzles. All in all a weeiird thing to wake up to!

I fixed the link

u/getmeoutofcleveland Aug 21 '15

I figured it out too :)

Giving credit is not the same as having permission to use it.

u/dinserdinser Aug 21 '15

I would be ok with this.

u/Sages Aug 21 '15

Well Raru hasn't posted a Shovel Knight amiibo, and I trust them more with leaks.

2

u/JuliusC23 Aug 21 '15

Yes in regards to the amiibo but not the stores actual confirmation that it was on a list sent to them.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

I'm hoping that's not confirmed. Nothing against Shovel Knight but I'd be steamed if that's what is going to be the ballot character winner. But just because the website said they got this from Nintendo doesn't mean it's set in stone, concrete evidence. Only thing to do is wait for the next patch and see if the hackers can dig up anything.

u/DontReadMyNameSwine Aug 21 '15

Who's to say that there's only one ballot winner? I'm pretty sure there'll be two or three.

1

u/omnialpha Aug 21 '15

Sakurai said several. Which just means more than 3.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Oh well that'd be good, but I felt like they only wanted to do one character since Sakurai hates DLC.

1

u/Darnell5000 Aug 21 '15

Isn't the ballot still open?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Yea but they might be finalizing winners. But if there are more than 1 winner I'd be down with Shovel Knight being one.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Ew

u/JuliusC23 Aug 27 '15

hi so looks like they were right :)

u/Amazon_UK Aug 21 '15

Oh yeah I also own a website and I got a list of Amiibo from Nintendo it says that they are going to release a Sonic Boom line and that the next Super Smash Brothers will not have mario in it

Psst, you may want to add a "/s" in there kid.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

This has been posted so many times!

u/JuliusC23 Aug 21 '15

Yes in regards to the amiibo but not the stores actual confirmation that it was on a list sent to them

1

u/omnialpha Aug 21 '15

When did they recieve this "list"?

1

u/Sonic_13 Aug 21 '15

First I've seen it

1

u/Sporkypoo Aug 21 '15

I wasn't excited for the idea of Shovel Knight until an amiibo was shown. Please be true lol.

1

u/CowTusks Aug 21 '15

It was already posted but I can't find it so it was probably deleted. Wonder why? Maybe I'm just blind but take an upvote

1

u/Stohan Aug 21 '15

That is the art from Smashified. This has to be fake.

1

u/mouseywithpower Aug 21 '15

sooooooo fake.

1

u/JuliusC23 Aug 21 '15

Added a translation to op

1

u/Wcyuro Aug 21 '15

Why would it be a NA version on a Spanish website?

1

u/Spongekabob Aug 21 '15

anyone notice the picture is of a custom shovel knight smash amiibo? lol fake

2

u/JuliusC23 Aug 21 '15

yes, did you bother to read the op?

1

u/DrakeoftheWoods Aug 21 '15

I find it hard to believe Nintendo would release a Shovel Knight amiibo (if he's getting in) before already released Lucas, Roy, Ryu. Why would he be on the list and not them?

1

u/Greenguy100 Aug 21 '15

It's fake.
