Fun Fact: I wasted a lot of money on amiibos.

Fun fact: The name "amiibo" comes from a Japanese expression for well-meaning friendship. I'd also like to point out that a variety of languages also use the "ami(i)" prefix to mean friend, as in amigo (Spanish) and ami(e) (French) So, you can think of an amiibo as a little "buddy."

That totally makes sense seeing as how the amiibo's work in Smash Bros.
Perhaps in later games they also will work both-ways in they'll also act as another player as well.

...we'll have to see in time though.

I just thought of something else-What if there was a way to register amiibo on Club Nintendo?

It's confirmed that the amiibo figures Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer have all been discontinued.

EDIT: David Young from Nintendo says they are not discontinued.

EDIT 2: They are actually discontinued after the initial shipment.

There's a rumor going around that Target has officially discontinued amiibo figures for Fox McCloud and Samus, the next ones to join Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer. If you're hoping to get all of the costumes in Mario Kart 8, then you better act now, or else it is too late.

So can anyone else think of good uses for amiibo? All I can think of is a CPU fighter like Smash Bros., content unlocks like Mario Kart, maybe a digital passport for moving game stats from one console to another, and storage, for example, a small Pokemon Box in each amiibo.
