I think where the OP loses his argument is by saying it's the worst thing that happened this generation! Very dramatic much I would say... What he fails to mention is that Nintendo isn't forcing people to buy new amiibo to get this ability if you already have a kirby amiibo. I would imagine that most Nintendo fans probably already collected most of the Nintendo characters that they like. So all of the amiibo they already own can be used across multiple games.
Buying one physical collectible dlc figurine that can be used across multiple games is definitely not the worst thing to happen this generation by far! I have a WiiU and no Amiibo whatsoever and it doesn't effect me playing any of the games that I own. If anything Nintendo as a whole has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to dlc and updating their games for free well after the release. Just look at the value one gets in a fighting game such a SmashBros vs SFV, no comparison really.
It's just that it's Nintendo and they can never seem to do anything right in the "hardcore" gamers eye. Nintendo has their faults and need to work on many things, but I wouldn't put this as high on the priority list right now as things to fix. I just recently read someone wanting to go in on Nintendo about the rumor of Foxconn possibly seeing a spike in business because of NX coming soon. The poster went on a rant to make it seem as though Nintendo is the only company to use Foxconn and was totally uninformed that Sony, Apple and many other big electronic corporations have and continue to use this manufacturing plant for their products, despite their poor working conditions and standards.
