Pretty much exactly as expected, now tell us something less obvious like, you know, what these things even do in those games to justify their $13 price tag.

Well the Smash ones are already pretty hot if you have any desire to play 8 man Smash. Most people don't invite 7 friends over to play videogames.

Inviting 3 friends over and having 4 amiibos means you can play 8 man smash in teams with or against amiibo. Some of those high level amiibo learn some pretty advanced moves too. There's the potential that you could get amiibo data from world class players you would never get to play against normally. The amiibo is potentially an amazing tool for tourney players.

After that, the amiibo doesn't have to add too much to a single game, because it can add a little bit to several games going forward.

I'll be really surprised if their isn't an amiibo-centric game or the ability to use other characters + amiibos in games like Mario Party 10 and Mario Kart 8 in the future.

I hope you're not actually suggesting we buy 7 Amiibos for $91, more than the game itself, rather than using regular computers which are way more flexible anyway since they can be any character.
