Calling it now. If the amiibo is successful, big name developers will make content for the Wii U

Who is going to buy an amiibo just so they can watch the game play itself? If amiibo functionality in other games is as silly and pointless as it is in Smash, then I don't see it being very successful at all.

Oh cool so you know all the smash amiibo features? Would you mind sharing with us?

 

 

On a serious note, being able to swap amiibo data or exchange amiibo ghost data online with the top competitive smash players would be amazing and potentially increase the number of tournament level players.

What makes you think there are anymore features than what they've already detailed? I haven't seen anything to suggest that there's more to it than that.

Probably the part where we don't even know all of the game modes for Smash itself, let alone the full capabilities of an amiibo.

On toop of that, I literally just listed one of the best features you could possibly add to Smash, and it falls in a similar vein. A lot of people take pride in raising electronic pets. Look at the digimon, tomogotchi, and nintendogs crazes. The fact it could give you the ability to fight the ghost of high level players that wouldn't give you the time of day is cool enough, but you could also consider contests through things like miiverse where you raise your own prize fighter.
