It's not at all clear if that's how they'll be used. In Smash, they work more like memory cards than like DLC codes.

But they're main duty is to unlock stuff. So DLC. The memory card thing is another option.

Er, how do you know what the "main duty" of Amiibo is, given that the only confirmed application of them is as a memory card thing?

Because the main description to the features is to boost and enhance your fighter in smash. Basically upgrading and unlocking perks. That's done in the likes of DLC normally, since this is paid and not unattenable in the game.
