Really, DLC is a smart bussines.

So when you have no actual argument you fall back on a sarcastic opinion that is the result of your lack of understanding in how the industry has grown and developed in the past few years?

Interesting.

I understand really well that when I paid for a disk I want to access to all of the content. And that's enough for me.

Locking deeper content away on Amiibo is one path but I think that would be a mistake.  Yes, there are certainly fans who accept anything Nintendo does but there are others who would be unhappy about such a practice.  It would be a risk.

That's the inherent flaw with Amiibo, though, in that, unlike Skylanders, it's not its own thing, but is instead designed to nudge fans of other Nintendo IP into buying them.  It needs it's own Amiibo branded software that fun and interesting as a stand-alone concept.  An Amiibo World RPG, for instance.  Perhaps we will see that on NX.

It wouldn't shock me to see them stuff Amiibo with more content, though, in order to make them a more compelling purchase for people who love a particular game, like Zelda or Mario.  More outfits, more powers, more functions, bonus levels, that kind of thing.

Or they could go all-in and do both, make them almost vital to the full "Nintendo experience".  That wouldn't shock me.  It all depends on how much they're investing in Amiibo being a major part of the future of Nintendo.

I hope they develope their own line of software and let it be free the classic games.
