Don't really understand the appeal of amiibo from a video game perspective, they only have a worthwhile use in SSB, in other games they unlock items that gamers are used to getting for free as pre-order bonuses such as costumes and weapons.  Not to mention Nintendo restricted them so they can only save data from one game, so if another game gets a worthwhile use like SSB youll have to delete your SSB saved data.

They seem like a clever implementation of DLC IMO...

"The Nintendo Way".

Guess I got my hopes too high when we found out the first use, ie the smash one.  After that I thought in Hyrule Warriors the amiibo would allow you to summon an ally to fight with you on the battlefield, I thought in Xenoblade you'd be able to summon Shulk to join your party, but turns out it not anything like that.
