I still dont know why the hell I would even want or need one of these things. The way I understand it, it is so you can take your wii u's smash data (for one specific character) to a friends house or something? So they are bulky, very expensive memory cards? Also, do you have to have the thing on the gamepad while you are playing? Seems awkward... What if your friend at said house has an amiibo too? Only one of you can use them because there is only one gamepad?

Needless to say, the amiibo did not give enough information on them... Terrible reveal...


I don't think Amiibo was meant to target "hardcore gamers" (or the more serious and informed gamers).  I think it was meant to target some of the casual players, and the reveal of them probably got them more excited.  Seeing how it is implemented in Smash Bros only reinforces that idea in my opinion.
