Or better yet, ditch all the amiibo crap and use the money put into it towards something people actually want.

People want them.... they sell all of them they make, and have huge profit margins on them.

Thats the problem though. I have this horrible vision of nintendo in the future makeing cheap f2p mobile games, and selling amiibos that work with your phone.

The reason they sell all they make is because scalpers buy all of them before anyone else can then sell the figure on ebay for $40. But I could totally see a Nintendo 10 years from now that only makes Pokemon spin-offs for mobile and build those games around amiibo, and that's kinda scary.
