The problem is that the content is overpriced if you're not interested in the toys the content is exclusively tied too. If I don't want the toy, but do want the content, there is no alternative where I can get just the content. I'd have to buy a $13 toy I don't want. That's a major issue. There's nothing wrong with a $13 toy that gives you extra content in a game. The problem arises when that content is exclusive to the toy. I should be able to pay a few bucks to buy just the content, but get that content for free with the amiibo. The other issue is that amiibo isn't something you can opt out of like Skylanders. If you don't like the idea behind locking content behind a Skylanders/Disney Infinity, you can opt out by simply not buying those two specific games. In order to opt out of the influence of Amiibo, you'll now basically need to stop buying games on Nintendo systems whole sale. That's not cool. |
I'd agree with you if Nintendo actually locked decent content behind amiibo. There's really not a single game I feel I'm missing out on because I don't own the amiibo.
