Nintendo's powerful brands are all that's keeping them afloat, if they dilute their appeal through overuse, they're fucked.

If Mario Party and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics didn't hurt the brand, nothing will.

If every major game gets support for Nintendo's stable of characters through amiibo, their franchises will blend together into a homogenous mush. The won't have as much individuality any more. They're already seen as "the guys who just milk Mario and Zelda", they need to change that perception, not add to it.
