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.


Not much different from Disney Infinity figurines, which save character data from that game. Gain levels and unlock new abilities from the chatacter skill tree? It gets saved to the figurine.

I am sure if these figurines found use in other title the data would need to be erased. Only so much you could hold on an item such as these.

 

Nintendo needs to release a title in the likes of Disney Infinity and/or Skylanders, which makes these figurines viable even if newer versions of the title are released. Extending it to mobile as well and 3DS and WiiU would be a big plus. Could sell huge numbers.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
