Mainly, I wanted certain figurines. I am not really sure how they can be considered “DLC” more so than accessories. Particularly when the content they add is a small perk you get with the figurine in certain games.

Instead of wondering you could just ask me directly.

As you even acknowledge, it's content that you buy separately from the game. Main differences are you scan a figure instead of downloading, and that figure can work in various games while typical dlc is tied to one. Otherwise the ingame effects are mostly the same, generally cosmetic.

Nintendo seems to have put a lot less emphasis on amiibo with the Switch so maybe New Horizons will be without them.

I didn't respond to you directly because I didn't want to obligate you to respond to such a silly-pedantic post of mine. Really, I just used it as a bridge to get into my reasoning for why I like the Amiibos.

Less than two months to go and we still don't know anymore than what was shown at E3. There will surely be a game specific direct me thinks.

Probably for marketing, they'll do one. But Animal Crossing is one of those games with enough name recognition that they really just need a small segment in their next direct to let people know it's coming. Although, it would be interesting to see some of the new features in the game. I'm getting it regardless.

If I had one feature request, co-op towns. This has been sort of a thing since the original game where multiple people could live in the same town, but you could never play at the same time as your townmates. Playing co-op on 3DS was one of my two favourite experiences on the handheld (the other being Mario Kart 7 multiplayer); but you didn't share a town if you went that route.
