Everyone has no issue bashing on Capcom or other devs that have disc locked content, but Nintendo comes out and does the same thing and they're praised for it.

With various games, Nintendo will be releasing Amiibo for specific games, costing between $10-$15 each.  The Amiibo will be required to use certain features in various games.  The SSB Amiibos will allow you to save a growing AI, customize skill sets, and growing damage perameters of the specific character that t hat Amiibo represents.  The data is already in the game, it's not like they couldn't have just had the option in game without forcing the player to spend more money to use it.

Let's say someone wants to be able to use this feature on every character in SSB.  No idea how many characters will be in the game, but assuming Mr. Game and Watch is in the game, that's 34 so far.  At $10 each, you'll be spending $340 at minimum.  So SSB will be about $400 for the full game.  This is much worse than anything Capcom has done with DLC.

It is disc locked content actually.  With SSB, the AI and customization data is stored on the Amiibo, but all the content for that comes on the game disc. 

The Amiibo working on multiple games is further proof of it.  You buy an Amiibo when SSB comes out.  You use that same Amiibo on a game that comes out a year, maybe two years later.  Obviously the data for the game can't already be on the Amiibo.  Whatever the game uses the Amiibo for, it downloads that data to the Amiibo.  That means that the content is already on the disc and only with the Amiibo are you able to use that content.  Hence, disc locked content.  

Actually a character model with colour data including material archetype names and a skeleton could be made, with some rough collision detector guidelines, and then maybe a small 'bio' of sorts that states a rough genre of the character, and a personality class (serious, humourous, wierd, manly, girly, mystic).

Then you just need a small 'read in' section on the disk, which could be blended with the games natural code to avoid space-wasting. Then any game could extrapolate whatever it needed from a very simple, and I'd imagine easy to assemble piece of code stereotyping the character. Bam! Lovely bonus for owner's who have their favorite character - I could imagine easily tweaked variations of the same basic instructiosns working for skeleton controls fitting both Links and Kirby into Mario Kart 8.

Oh yeah? Your specific character that comes with the Amiibo is the same as everyone else's, huh?

I am pretty sure the point of them is so you can have individual characters with individual stats being utilized throughout many Nintendo titles and so you can bring them over to a friend's house to "battle" against them. The point is to raise them to be different than everyone else's. It even writes back and forth between the Amiibo and the Wii U. Almost like raising a Furby or one of those furby Yoda's.

Absolutely nothing you said has any merit whatsoever and goes against everything the Amiibo is meant to be.

Huge fail, guy...

"You use that same Amiibo on a game that comes out a year, maybe two years later.  Obviously the data for the game can't already be on the Amiibo."

You bolded the second section but conveniently forgot to bold right before that.  The part where I point out that you'll use that same Amiibo on games that release a year or two later, games that if they're in development, they probably don't know what they're going to use the Amiibo for yet and haven't added that information.
