GN Version 5.0

Coming from Yacht Club's Sean Velasco...

"We're basically licensing the amiibo technology from Nintendo, and they've been overseeing it every step of the way. From the design, to how the amiibo functions in the game, to making sure that it was all just perfect in every way. But we're the ones that are dealing with the manufacturing and distribution, we're the ones that are talking with the toy and sculpture people. Even things like the packaging."

The Shovel Knight amiibo is being made in the same factory that handles creation of Disney Infinity figurines.
