After Skylanders and Disney Infinity etc, I can see why they want a piece of the pie. In theory, it's perfect for the target audience of kids. I know some older fans will want them for collector's sakes and whatever, but I don't want them going down a path of making us need to buy an expensive figurine to unlock a DLC character or something. I can't see what good they're for otherwise. If it's just to transfer data to take to someone's house, that's stuff that could be done using an online account system, or simply whack it onto an SD card. The less I am required to use amiibo, the better, but definitely understand the intent if they market to kids.
I am concerned about them planning for MK8, though. I really do want DLC characters - I'm campaigning for Dixie Kong - but for the love of god, don't make me need to buy an expensive Dixie figurine to unlock her. What else would they use them for in MK8 otherwise? But yeah, off-topic thoughts -.-

You can say that about a lot of things.
Skylanders is a billion dollar IP and Disney’s Infinity is on course of becoming a billion dollar IP too. It makes too much sense for Nintendo to make there own figures as well as they have a large portfolio to work from. Kids and collectors will gobble amiibo up.
For Super Smash Bros, once you scan your amiibo into the game, you can fight against it, team up with it in battle and watch it battle other in-game characters. You’ll also be able to increase its stats too. The amiibos behave depending on how you customize them and how they have leveled up.
They will basically become the ultimate sparring partner, something you can’t get with a level 1-9 CPU as they are programmed to always play a certain way. You're customizing this figure, you're training with it and you're growing as a player with it.
You can basically fight yourself!
Yeah but they'd be missing out on all the money if they did that. I'm pretty sure all the ideas Nintendo comes up with will be something that wouldn't require a figure.
At least we get a nicely sculpted figure though!

Saw that video too.
I think those last three character spots will be for Ganon, Vant and Ghirahim.

Ghirahim, Zant, Ruto and Agitha are the only ones missing here.
