 I wouldn't mind getting some figurines to try 'em out!

Theres so much we don't know about these so far...they have the potential to be really cool though.

I was thinking that there should be a "hub" game for all of these figures, but Nintendo didn't bring that to the table. Maybe sometime in the future...

 


I definitely think there will be a Nintendo all star game using this figures in the future.  Maybe skylanders style, or maybe a different genre, could be anything.



I might actually buy a few just for the hell of it to see what they all do in different games.  Plus I like collecting anything Nintendo.

I think something everyone here has missed is the chip inside the amiibo figures. They let you send data back to the figures! That means that you could fight in Smash, and record your stats - wins, losses, etc, and maybe even customise certain stats , then pop the data back to the figure, and take it round to a friends house for Smash battles.

"Want to play Smash? Are you picking Mario?
"No, I'm using *my* Mario... Pulls out figure and puts it on pad.

It's like having a memory card with your own personal fighter on it, but so much more imaginative. It's gonna be a big deal.

an expensive proprietary memory card?!?   i feel like i've heard that phrase before..

If you consider a few bucks expensive :P I'm sure you are joking here but anyone who seriously makes that comparison is crazy...
