This is not some day 1 expansion to the game or a "buy this season pass, but you still won't get access to all the DLC" trick that more than doubles the original cost; in fact, they often do almost nothing at all outside of a select few games like Super Smash Bros. They're fun little figurines that some people like to collect that generally add something trivial to the game, and they can be used across multiple games. They've walked that line between neat, physical toy that adds a small something to multiple games and not making them too important so as to restrict important content about as well as they can. Seriously, point me to some games that you feel were harmed by the existence of amiibo. I can't think of any. |
I did in my last point. Unlocking a AI companion in Yoshie Wolly World that Nintendo said themselves helped to expand the gameplay. Again this is besides the point, most day 1 DLCs don't harm the games that much but people still jumped down the publishers throats, which they are not doing to Nintendo. Defending this really makes my point about the double standard.
