How successful do you think the Wii U would have been if they launched Amiibo at the same time?
The same, a lot of people without a Wii U or a 3DS buy amiibos

Remember all the idiots who were freaking about about how they would never be able to get an amiibo that isn't Mario or Zelda and were willing to pay $50+ dollars for one?
It's funny walking into a store and seeing Captain Falcon's, Little Mac's, Lucario's, Splatoon 3 packs, and etc.

>All EB games and Gamestop have more shelf space for Amiibos than 3DS and Wii U games.
In fact, one place removed the 3DS section and now as a small space for the 2-3 new 3DS releases per year.
You know Nintendo is dead when people only want shitty figures.
>>321136270no because Meat Nit is Best Goy exclusive.I have one anyway from when BB restocked them and had tons of them over the summer
Do the grown adults of /v/ actually buy this /toy/ tier shit?
Don't delude yourself, Amiibos aren't selling the way Disneylanders and Lego Dimensions are, it's just that Nintendo found a way to make their most die-hard Nintendrones pay even more than they already did for Smash Bros.

That and people seek to justify their usage as DLC.
Fuck, remember when nintendo was anti-DLC? When they claimed to have a new Wii U release every month? They seem to lie more and more, with them slowly falling down a hole.

this
it likely wouldn't have changed anything
It wouldn't have mattered. The people that are crazy about Amiibos are the ones that were going to buy a Wii U anyways. Or they just want the figures and don't give a rat's ass about using them in games.
