So, Nintendo is starting to get specific about what the ammibo's are going to do.
for smash bros, it will produce a bot that you can play against and level up.
for hyrule warriors, it will give you random material or rupees, with link giving a weapon.
For mario kart, it will give your mii racer character costumes that it can wear.
So, are people excited about this? I know I originally thought that there would be some potential here for nintendo... But none what they are doing sounds remotely interesting to me. So how many people out there are excited about amiibos?

These are only the specifics of what the Smash Bros amiibo are going to do for other games. Not what other game specific amiibo are going to do. The functionality we are seeing in Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors is secondary to its primary funtion as a trainable npc. When they release a Mario Kart 8 line of amiibo they will have a primary function for Mario Kart 8 and limited functionality in other amiibo compatible games.
As a side note, you only need to scan an amiibo once to unlock the skin, so if someone comes to your house with an amiibo you don't have, you get the Mii Suit as well. (from what I understand)
Wouldn't say I'm particularly excited about all of this, but I will end up buying a 1 or 2 from each game that supports them.

So wait you think there are going to be Mario kart mario amiibos and then a separate one for each other game? That would be horrible.

Probably not for each game that supports amiibo, but there will be different lines of amiibo made for different games, with different functionality. At least, that's how I understood their explanations of amiibo.
