Amiibo DLC charging out the ass for DLC that isn't worth $13 and forcing you to buy a useless doll.  Somehow its okay to overcharge for DLC as long as its locked behind a doll.

Edit: Also forgot to mention some if it is content straight ripped from the final game. 

I never got this complaint. It's not a massive, game-altering dlc that's an absolute must buy like many games where $40+ map packs are a necessity for the multiplayer seen. It's for people who like the little figurines and can get a little extra out of many games by having them.

If you've no interest then don't get them, the games are fine without them. It's little different than the usual little dlc's that add something trivial to the game, excepting that you also get a fun little figurine to go with it that can be used in many games.

I'm trying real hard to think of a time where the game felt incomplete without amiibo and I can't come up with much... I'd say the closest it's come is Mario Party 10, though the amiibo mode wasn't all that great.

I still think they ought to make a game or two meant exclusively for amiibo, so as to give the amiibo even more use and those without them know not to bother getting the game.

Okay so developers can lock everything behind DLC as long as its not "absolute must buy."  This is the double standard I'm talking about, whenever other publishers like EA or Ubisoft did any kind of day 1 DLC that was ripped from the game ppl lost their shit, now Nintendos allowed to do it.  Locking things like an AI partner behind day 1 $13 DLC is as shitty as it comes.
