That is exactly the point- if you like having your Amiibo tied into your smash game and want to use it in a future tie in game you will have to either choose or buy another completely defeating the purpose of the cross game functionality they have been touted for

You still get to use one amiibo with like, five games and all the non writing games that come out in the future. Sounds like cross game functionality to me...

I really don't get the outrage over this...you may have to buy another cheap figure if you want to buy another writing game and you want to keep your Smash data, but is that honestly that big of a deal? Really? Just sounds like entitlement to me...

Also, a lot can be done with NFC tech without using the write data as long as the interaction is programed into the game...theres no reason to believe that amiibo wont have "ongoing interaction" in games that read only (although I have to admit, I have no idea what you mean by ongoing interaction).

Does this mean that if I use it in MK8, I can't use it in Smash? :O

You can.

Smash is the only game that writes data on amiibos.

Okay, thanks!

If anything, I'll only use 2 or so amiibo's for Smash if there are other games that write on amiibo. @-)
