A year ago everyone hated Nintendo Management, has your opinion changed now?

No I still most definitely hate them and their unwillingness to use the money they aquired in the Wii/DS era to try and build as a company. Instead they sit their and push out the same few games and watch sales plummit to record lows and call it a day. Then we got the oh so innovative amiibo  -_-
If Nintendo want to make hardware they are going to have to do more than this to stay relevant.

I think Amiibo was smart financially, even though you'll never see me within 10 feet of those things. My problem is that they've done nothing to capitalize on it at all like with Skylanders and Disney Infinity which makes them nessecary.

They should be releasing a free to play game that unlocks bits and peices of it just like with those games depending on your Amiibo. If it was a MOBA with the same accessability that Smash created for the fighting genre, then they'd've literally done to MOBAs what Goldeneye for FPS games. There are nearly 1m Amiibo sold, and everyone who owns one could have been getting more invested into this game, which would they give people more reason to want even more Amiibo to unlock more characters, and so forth. 

They dropped the ball so hard with this thing.

Well to be fair, we don't really know what else they have planned for Amiibo in the future, Smash Bros seems to have been a test run as a game  to make decent use of them with games like MK8/HW just having some thrown in last minute functionality for extra measure.

I think we certainly could see an Amiibo game that actually requires them like Skylanders, it would be fun to play an action/platformer with dozens of playable Nintendo characters. If Nintendo is really releasing new hardware in 2016, perhaps this could be the big launch game and if it's free to play then they could just have it predownloaded onto the device, bundle a single Amiibo (most likely Mario) figure and u need to buy others in order to unlock new characters.
