Nintendo's Amiibo (Wii U, 3DS)

[YellerDog]

Luckily Mega Man looks like a Precious Moments figurine, won't be needing that.

Video Game Precious Moments figures sounds like an untapped and incredibly creepy idea.

It seems like this should be getting more attention:

But one major drawback to Amiibo has also been announced - you can only and write data to a figure for a single game. This may be why the only game announced to currently write data is Super Smash Bros - other titles currently just read figurine data and use it to unlock in-game content.

You can only and write, eh?

Eurogamer can't. Well, maybe that's what "and writing" looks like

[Diff-chan]

Core Amiibo mechanics are flawed imo

(I've already sold my copy of 3DS Smash Bros, there's nothing left for me after unlocking Duck Hunt Dog)

Sold mine today. Putting it towards the wii u jam.

What do you expect from people who can't spell "flavor" or "theater"?
