Nintendo has crossed the line that even EA, Capcom, and Activision hasn't!

Some amiibo are pretty bad in terms of locking content away, but to stack Smash Bros amiibo with them, which just allows for a customizable ai character that can be used with any person's game, seems like a stretch.

Yeah Im sorry. I didnt realise that locking a feature/ mode of the game behind Amiibo requirement is of no concern. 

I get the idea behind that feature, and that your AI can be trasnferred, but its a prt of the game and one that shouldnt REQUIRE an amiibo to actually use. I should be able to train my own AI for use with my game without having to be forced to save the AI file onto the amiibo. Unless this is no longer the case, or I am mistaken that you need an amiibo for this system (ive been under the impression you do) then I dont think its a stretch by any means. ITs essentially locking a feature on the disc you paid for behind an arbitary extra purchase that I may not actually want in the first place. 

There are moments where the practice of amiibo id bad, but this one does not look to be one of them. You can already customize the AI in difficulty if you want. Nothing is lost when you take out the amiibo.
