How do Amiibo's actually interact with the games anyway? what point do they have?

Do you need the Amiibo figure to use the equivalent character in the game? because if you don't actually need the figure why bother buying them?


I mean look at Skylander's if you bought a figure for the first game that figure was usable on any version regardless if it was Wii, PC or PS3/360.

That figure is also usable on every new game so a figure bought in 2011 for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure will also be usable on 2014's Skylanders: Trap Team that's pretty good value.
