It also comes "at least" with a much higher price and less availability.

As long as they add an option to buy it digitally (or it does not matter) I don't really care.

Same thing I was thinking.  If Nintendo is  going to put a paywall behind a feature, they should, at the very least, also have it be accessable digitally for everyone that wants it as long as the game is available for purchase.  We all know that these amiibo are probably going to be qucikly hard to find and then eventually impossible to find at retail, making the content locked to these figures gone forever unless you pay scalper/re-seller prices or find some dishonest way to access the content.

I don't even know why Nintendo has to lock features behind amiibo.  People will buy the damn figures even if they didn't do anything as long as they look nice because people like collecting and displaying stuff like that.  They could have just made the figures refill missles or energy and most people would have been fine with that.
