Amiibo is going to make the holiday season awfully interesting.

I knew this would turn up sooner than later, can Nintendo do no wrongs in ppls eyes ? I like the commpany I grew up playing Nintendo games I own a WiiU but this is a gimmicky peripheral that doesnt help the WiiU in a bit and if it were Ms or Sony ppl would say it was a cash grab atempt but since its Nintendo its an awesome initiative somehow.

Seriously ppl drop the double standards.

Of course its a cash grab, every game released on every system is a cash grab.  Just have to determine if the product provides enough value for you to purchase or not.

Youre beeing purposelly obtuse here, you know what I meant. Next step is someone clamming how this is another Nintendo initiative to drive games into the future and whatnot.

 

Im 700% certain that ppl would be trashing the Amiibo initiative non stop if it were a Ms or Sony initiative. 

If you had to buy an Arbiter "Amiibo" to play as him during the Halo Collection (and could not otherwise do so), then its like DLC and a negative Cash Grab.

If it let's someone take their personal Mario with them to a friends house and play (Mario is and can be unlocked in other ways and does not require the figure) Smash with customized stats in a casual setting, then it is not something I would complain about.
