Nintendo Minute (Jan. 29) – Let’s Shovel!
For the latest episode of Nintendo Minute, Kit and Krysta decided to revisit one of their favorite games: Shovel Knight. Of course, it’s the co-op mode (unlocked via the Shovel Knight amiibo) which is showcased in the episode. Talking of the Shovel Knight amiibo, Nintendo has a giveaway with one figure to win!
Hello fellow knights of the shovel! Today we wanted to go back to a game that we both really love to try out the new co-op mode that you can unlock by scanning in the newly release Shovel Knight amiibo. There’s so many cool things in that last sentence right? Shovel Knight amiibo, co-op mode?! All of it is amazing. And if that wasn’t enough, the fine folks at Yacht Club Games also sent along some Shovel Knight goodies for us to give away to you. Here’s how you can enter for a chance to win:
1. Follow @NintendoAmerica on Twitter
2. Tweet the following phrase:
“My partner for Shovel Knight co-op would be ________ #SweepsEntry #NintendoMinute”
3. Fill in the blank by @tagging a friend you would want to play co-op with
We will choose 2 winners at random
Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!

Here’s the latest episode of Nintendo Minute (January 29th):
Head after the break for the rest of this post!
Wondering why Kit and Krysta started doing the Nintendo Minute show? Here’s the answer, straight from Nintendo’s Tumblr account:
Kit: After last week’s “friendly debate” over amiibo displays, I think we need to move on to cheerier territory.
Krysta: Yes, I’m still mad at you but I’m willing to put that aside while we write this blog post.
Kit: Today we’re going to cover a question that we get fairly frequently from Nintendo Minute viewers, which is “how the heck did the two of you get started doing this thing anyway?”
Krysta: I sometimes ask myself the same question but I think the number one reason (at least for me) is we started Nintendo Minute because of one thing and one thing only; we love Nintendo games and we wanted to share that with you guys!
Kit: Yes, I feel very lucky that throughout my life I’ve been able to have friends around me who are also into games, and that I can talk to about games, because let’s be honest, it’s what we’re constantly thinking about. At the same time, I know there are people out there who may not be in the same position. You and I have had these sorts of discussions ever since we started at Nintendo, so it felt natural to translate them to video and share with everyone else. It’s also been a fun way to document my journey with facial hair! Please look forward to my Viking beard braid in 2017.
Krysta: We’re incredibly lucky to work at a company that really cultivates this type of environment and really encourages us to share our passion with all of you. And yes, it’s weird to see how different we look through the years. And there’s one more thing I want to bring up. We’re definitely not making these videos because we think we’re, like, game playing geniuses or something. But one thing for me that I’ve always believed in, is that you don’t have to be awesome at games to love them. In fact, I think I really suck at most games but it doesn’t make them any less fun for me to play them.
Kit: Our failed dreams of eSports glory aside, Nintendo Minute has really brought us closer to the Nintendo fan community, whether it’s meeting people at events or reading comments (we read them all!). I love how there’s such a circular relationship.
Krysta: Well now I think you’re scaring them…
Kit: This post is too cordial…I…I…don’t know what to do next.
Krysta: How about, go check out our latest video on one of my fave games of all time; The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Talk to you guys later!
