I really don't think that amiibo are anywhere close to being on the level of the things that Sakurai is talking about. You want to talk about the implementation in Splatoon? Okay, you unlock challenges which are simply playing through story levels with a specific weapon and what seems to be single player exclusive costumes. You really aren't missing much of anything, as the primary use of amiibo are as collectables.
EDIT: Jim Sterling made a video about amiibo which I think is quite good:
