I just rewatched the Digital Event...

Reggie said during the amiibo section that Disney Infinity and Skylanders Trap Team will have unique features and functionalities on Wii U. He said in another interview with ign that the figurines of these games aren't amiibo figurines themseves, they have it's own tech.

So, why did he mention Skylanders and Disney Infinity in the amiibo section?

Could this mean that you can unlock Nintendo related stuff in Disney Infinity and Skylanders Trap Team with amiibo figurines from Smash Bros. or other games? That would raise my interest in these games from 0% to moderate.

EDIT: Nah, Skylanders and Disney Infinity are released before Smash and Smash will be the first game to support it.

Of course they don't show the ZSS amiibo

It should have been a real Pokemon branded system and game.

Marth, Link, Villager, Samus... ALL of them will be mine!

I wish Nintendo luck but I'm not interested

Hmmm... if any, ever, Pit and Marth for me.

Link, Zelda and Samus bought.

Why keep it exclusive to it? :0

Also pokemon OR/AS comes out holiday and those are remakes. Your idea could fit later on pokemon XY (third installment) or next gen pokemon. (also 3ds accessory for amiibo wont be out this year)

Gimmicky but it could sell some decent amount. I doubt any gamer is interested in it from a gameplay perspective.

Great business idea but I (as a consumer) don't care. (Yet)
