This is much worse than Microtransactions. I was worried when Skylanders was selling great, but now Nintendo is following suit too. Let's hope Sony and Microsoft stay far away from these kind of practises.

I'm pretty sure you didn't watch the video that explains what Amiibos are for...

Nintendo isn't blocking any content from Smash Bros. nor is it adding anything significant to the core gameplay. Without buying any Amiibos you will have access to all characters, modes and pretty much everything from the beginning.

These are basically toys, something extra to do when you are playing with a friend, nothing more, nothing less. 

Uh not only did i watch it, i followed the entire digital event at E3. I'm just not agreeing with us. It sets off a dangerous precedent. Once this proves succesful, next time the character will just be unplayable without the right toy.
