I will admit that some games use amiibo the dumbest ways, like the Ganondorf amiibo just for an added layer of difficulty in TPHD, or the Kirby amiibo just for a bloody powerup.
I also like the small bonuses in other games though, like the costumes in Super Mario Maker, and the ability to recruit Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina in FE Fates.
It's hit and miss when it comes to amiibo I'd say, but I can say that it's pretty annoying that pretty much EVERY Nintendo games uses amiibo in SOME way.
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
