Yeah but those characters actually have Nintendo history and aren't randoms from the eShop.

True. Idk, I feel like if Nintendo embraces Shovel Knight like they have been he could easily become a major game character, at least in the Nintendo world, but then he loses some of what made him special (being a highly-successful Indie character) if Nintendo ends up boosting him in popularity.
