Well I don't have a problem with the beginning of Amiibo so far. They made DLC for the games that you know wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Amiibo, or some small bonuses like extra gold in a game that it doesn't make too much of a difference to have and what not, and levels based off those amiibo's which you know wouldn't have happen if it wasn't for amiibo.

But I do have a problem with games coming out that require Amiibo for it's DLC, and the DLC is already on the disc since release. But if they have things like Fight the Mario Knight in Zelda Wii U when you use your Mario Amiibo! I'm cool with that, and cosmetics. You know those things wouldn't have appeared in game if it weren't for amiibo.

The only thing I think they changed was the Twilight Princess DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors, the Spinner weapon came out for Amiibo support, but after that pack came out. Which seems weird because it seems like a oddly specific weapon that would had came out of that pack, so my theory they took the spinner out of the pack and tied it with the Amiibo.
Now that's what I don't want to see in the future, content that was originally intended to be included in DLC, or the actual game being locked behind Amiibo. I want to see content that wasn't originally intended for the game thrown in, I want to be buying a whole game and then Amiibo throws in extra stuff that was added in afterwards.

We still don't know what Nintendo wants to do with them entirely, they have a master plan because they took off in America like crazy. But considering all these shortages and whatnot, those plans might be derailed. And they are quickly finding out how hard it is to keep these things in stock, let alone most people who buy them are collectors or scalpers. :/
