Would you say that Nintendos deep dive into DLC this gen has been "Classy"?

People keep bringing the amiibo argument when everybody knows that nobody gives a shit about the content they unlock, is just an easy way to shit on Nintendo that has been doing the best DLC of the generation, period. Specially with Mario Kat 8 and Hyrule Warriors, loads of content at a cheap price.

If no one buys amiibos for the extra content then there's literally no reason to lock content behind them since it wouln't affect amiibo sales.

But then you cut the relation toy-videogame, and both need each other, the videogames help to sell more amiibo and the amiibo help to sell more videogames, is a positive feedback, the content they unlock is almost symbolic, it give adults a reason to buy toys they want without feeling weird with themself because they have functionalities with the games even when they add very little to them.
