I have sorta a love-hate relation with amiibo.

On one hand, I love being able to collect these miniture figurines of some of my favorite Nintendo characters, such as Ness, Shulk, and Captain Falcon.

The fact that third party characters such as Mega Man, Cloud Strife, and Bayonetta also have amiibo is another thing that I find absolutely cool.

At the same time, the fact that content is being locked is what irks me.

Most games don't bother me such as Smash or Super Mario Maker, but games like Fire Emblem Fates, which locks out characters in the form of physical DLC, or games like TPHD and Star Fo Zero, which locks out extra layers of difficulty is what I find dumb.



"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."
