How would you do amiibo?

Your sugestion to keep all amiibo series equivalent is similar to my colour classes one. But what you say doesn't promote the multi-game compatibility, it just keeps each amiibo series compatible with each game series.

How is that bad? You want to please the consumer, and make profits. Not piss people off, and gouge in certain areas only. The goals to make money. In no way these sugestions inhibits that. Unless you want to be greedy, or something. Who cares if the amiibo's sell a little bit less, then what it is doing now. The money is gotten from the other options people can choose from. So you won't be losing money. Then on top of it, you have happy people. Selling DLC that's done better than other companies. Nintendo's god rating increases. And the bonus of people buying multiple figures. Making you even more freaking money.

It's not bad, just keeps the fan of series together with their amiibos, but it doesn't promote extending to other series. I think that was initially part of the amiibo incentive, multi-game compatibility as a way for customers to branch out. My suggestion of 4 amiibo unlocking every possible thing is just as similar as your golden Mario amiibo, plus colours make it fun

c) How about we make it like the good old days where you could unlock things by playing the game further and accomplishing tough tasks in the game! Remember those days, guys?

Lego Dimensions does that. You can hire extra figurines for a set quantity of ingame currency.

Typical Nintendo saying one thing and doing something that screams a other thing. They are clearly releasing amiibos as a collector's item. Why would do make a 30th anniversary classic AND retro Mario that are basicaly the same thing? Why make a Silver and Gold Mario that is exactly like the smash or mario party mario? Why make a mario line that has Mario/Peach/DK/Bowser/Yoshi when these characters already have amiibos that do the exact same thing?

GREAT POINTS METRIUM.

Although Nintendo does think amiibo are useful:

I would put very lame content that nobody would be missing if didnt existed, mostly fanservice and little gimicks you cannot do without amiibo so I can give 40 years old men an excuse to buy them even if they only really want them because they love the toy. Oh wait. Thats exactly what they are doing, nevermind.

Are we really assuming that a majority of amiibo owners (of the 30 million that have been sold) are 40 year olds? Makes me kinda wish that Nintendo gave some demographic data besides regions. If they mentioned that a majority of Japanese Animal Crossing fans are female, they could at least give who bought majority of the amiibos..
