Hardcore Gamer - amiibo is what most believe to be an adorable figure that can be used across multiple games, but are the cute figures just a ploy in a diabolical series of mistruths?
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Joker, Banjo and Kazooie, and Terry amiibo restock for Super Smash Bros. on the way with pre-orders now open.
Call yourself a Zelda fan? Then here's a challenge for you? Can you name all 26 Zelda themed amiibo ever released?
I don't mind collecting them. Just wish I could get them for what they are supposed to cost at the store.
nintendo has so little buzz going for them that they have to resort to fake supply and demand tactics. i don't, and will never support amiibos. ever.
It's only going to get worse
Nintendo, in this dark time, see how much money Amiibos are raking in for them and that's only going to want them to sell more....hoping this little gleam of light will bring them out of the darkness.
They'll end up putting more "exclusive" stuff in the Amiibos where it could possibly get to the point where you could only unlock more features in a game by buying a certain Amiibo for the game
AKA...DLC
Now you could say
"Don't like it, don't buy it"
But people said the same about DLC and Microtransactions
Look at where they are today. You only need to look at what Amiibos were presented at last year at E3 to where they are now (looking at this years E3). We are even getting Amiibo cards for Happy Hoke Designer.
It's got to stop for the NX
Been saying this for months now. These things serve ZERO purpose other than collectibles. Gotta say this is a bad cash grab on Nintendo's part. Creating artificial supply and demand for that almighty dollar bill.
Only worthwhile amiibo integration was Smash 4. Everything else is something lame like a costume or item.
In splatoon to get all the lobby minigames you had to pay a minimum of 35 dollars. Now that's upped to 80 on ebay. Downright robbery.
If nintendo cant keep up with demand, they shouldn't keep locking their content behind NFC garbage.
