Oh yeah? Your specific character that comes with the Amiibo is the same as everyone else's, huh?

I am pretty sure the point of them is so you can have individual characters with individual stats being utilized throughout many Nintendo titles and so you can bring them over to a friend's house to "battle" against them. The point is to raise them to be different than everyone else's. It even writes back and forth between the Amiibo and the Wii U. Almost like raising a Furby or one of those furby Yoda's.

Absolutely nothing you said has any merit whatsoever and goes against everything the Amiibo is meant to be.

Huge fail, guy...

" It even writes back and forth between the Amiibo and the Wii U"

Has anybody seen a thechnical description on how this is done?
