So...something that occurred to me this morning:

I really hope that Nintendo is on the ball with this idea. While there may seem to be a lot of figurines to collect, the reality of it is that right now there is only one of each character. I'm definitely buying Samus. So after I buy Samus, I really hope that every game that utilizes her character will feature some exclusive content just for owning that figurine. So when the next Metroid comes out, I whip out Samus, have the game pad read her, and then voila, new costume skins, access to a "shrine room" where we see the visages of other Nintendo characters, etc.

If we take that idea one step further, we could see that having Metroid WiiU stats uploaded to your Samus character will unlock new skins for Samus in SSB WiiU. There's a lot of opportunity for synergy here. I just hope that someone at Nintendo understands just how impactful these collectibles can be.
