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.

You are working on an assumption here.

What makes you so sure Nintendo will do that? If there are extra characters, Nintendo will add them as a normal DLC, they have done it in the past with games like Fire Emblem.
