I win by not playing, which is what I would like to say if I didn't come dangerously close to folding and picking up Disney Infinity 3.0 this past weekend. The only thing that saved me was seeing the price of buying more and more of those stupid plastic figures.

It'd be crazy for Nintendo to just stop supporting amiibo for their next console.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

No shit. Why would they not integrate their biggest money earner at the moment.

Are you kidding? No way they invested that much into making amiibo the phenomenon it is only to let them fall into oblivion at the turn of their next generation console.

Not confirmed, but considering what a money maker they are, I'd be stunned if they don't.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I would be surprised if it wasn't compatible..

They still need to make a proper Amiibo Land game though

It looks like it. I would think they will indeed sell amiibo's as physical tokens for digital games. That makes a lot of sense.

In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

no, that idea that nintendo's next system won't have physical media is a bunch of propaganda. nintendo isn't going to force that on everybody, it's just nonsense
