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

I'm going to say it again: Amiibo is the worst thing to happen this gen.
Making DLC, which can already be a bad thing, physical and limited, which both make it harder and more expensive to get, is ridiculous.

What's truly ridiculous is that there's still alot of people who think that Nintendo doesn't use scarcity marketing even though amiibo are a thing and they mysteriously have "shortages" all the time.

They do that because they don't want to get stuck with a bunch of figurines no one wants.  That happened to one of the other "Toys-to-Life" products that is now discontinued, but I can't remember which one.  They only want to make what they know they can sell.
