I agree there are times when amiibo are outright terrible, such as the Kirby power up thing, Twilight Princess, and Mario Party 10 thing, but I don't think it's the worse thing in this industry. I really like amiibo, and it's thanks to them that I can have figures like Megaman, Pac-Man, Sonic, Robin, Rosalina, and even Dr. Mario. How else would that ever happen?
I take it the reason amiibo has taken off so well is not due to the content tied to them, but the aspects of collecting, whether it is for the sake of collecting, or getting characters you like. I fall into the second category. There has been one time where I wanted the goods tied to an amiibo, but I also wanted the figure anyways, so it was a non-issue with me.
I do think the kirby thing is pretty bad, but Amiibo as the worst thing this gen? I don't agree there.
Dance my pretties!
