What will it take for Shantae and Shovel Knight to be icons?

They need to make an impact

Both need to be played by ecelebs so all the 12 year old pewdiepie fans will know they exist

millions will have to die
but this is the price of eternal recognition
More cameos.
>>318097134
They're already icons.
D-list indie icons, but still icons.
>>318097362
I kinda want to see this be illustrated
Being released in Japan would help, Shovel Knight is still unreleased there and the only Shantae to make it to Japan was Pirate's Curse and only about a week or two ago
>>318097134
I thought Shantae was a sexual icon already.

Successful sequels?
>3D game
>PS4, PS3, 360, XBONE, PC versions only
>Shitty spin off on 3DS
>Season passes
There we go, now they're icons!

More knights
Just bought Pirate's Curse today because of the sale. I've played the original and most of Risky's Revenge, looking forwards to this.

Pirate's Curse is the best Shantae, make sure you collect all the Dark Magic for the good end

>not getting bad end then loading your save and getting the good end

>Shovel Knight as tall as main character
>Not ultramanlet
I still waiting for Shovel Wizard be a thing
Hmm.. how about 7-10 more years of consistent games and constant commercializing and then MAYBE they should be considered potentialassist trophiesto be in Smash
>>318099884
I'll probably do something like what >>318100004 suggests, but I'm more buying the game so I have it before SOON happens for Half Genie Hero.

Shovel needs more games at least; the era for characters of his caliber has passed some time ago, so the series is definitely fighting an up-hill battle, but I feel they still have a chance.
Shantae is, and always will be too niche.
