Nintendo needs to stop bitching and make a good game with amiibo

Imagine an amiibo rpg or some shit

post your game ideas in this thread

They need to get the creators of the Streetpass Mii Plaza minigames to make a game on Wii U and 3DS that's compatible with every amiibo.

Maybe a game where you scan them in and they come to life and live in a habitat that you design.

The only problem is that you would have to delete your Smash data on them I assume
>>
They need to make an amiibo data manager. I'm not wiping my Smash A.I just to play with them in Mario Party.

>A challenge that we’re facing right now is, our earliest goal for the Amiibo was to have these connected to software and have them enhance the play experience for the consumer, and for other consumers to say ‘I see my friend using this Amiibo with that software and it looks great,’ and again increase that attractiveness of that combination.
>I see my friend using this Amiibo with that software and it looks great
>this Amiibo
>looks great

Not only does the person look like an absolute tool "using" an amiibo, the interactions are forced, unnecessary, and shallow. The model itself is cheap and dons a second-wave Heroclix paint job.

There's no wonder they stay in the box, on the shelf, or out of sight. It's a novelty possession and will probably remain so regardless of what nintendo tries to force on the consumer.

Maybe if I had something to do with my amiibos besides use them as keys for vanity content, I would consider them an "experience".

The fact that they haven't even announced anything like Skylanders/Disney Infinity is fucking insane.

The worst part of AF is having to tap them every turn, not only because it's cumbersome, but it also kills them quicker than any other game

>>
>>321596075
that would cost a bunch in development time unlike the previous free product, a limited demo emulator. Nintendo won't charge nothing for something that semblizes as fucking actual game.

>>321596075
Even full-on amiibo skylanders would be preferable to what we have right now. Codename Steam is the only game I can remember that did something more substantial with them than an item/costume unlock.
>>
>>321596297
Then charge for the fucking game and bundle it with Amiibos, like Disney and Skylanders do.

In my opinion they need to get better distributors, be it online or real stores that will constantly have every amiibo or at least restock very regularly.

Every game that a 3rd party character shows up in takes a new negotiation and there's a world of difference between a skin and a full fledged appearance of the character. Also

>..

Quit being a faggot.

>>321596394

That shit likely gets negotiated when said characters get into Smash. That's why Sonic and Megaman unlock shit in MK8.

Cloud will likely never unlock anything in Nintendo games though.
>>
>>321594592
#1 - Maybe if Nintendo made enough of the character amiibos that are impossible to find in the States then people might start to use them.

#2 - Maybe if Nintendo were to start developing games/IPs that utilized amiibos in exciting & fun ways like Disney Infinity & Skylanders do then people might start to use them.

Which is more likely: Nintendo taking a #1, or a #2? Cause it sure as FUCK won't be both.

the only good way to do amiibos IS as a collector's item. otherwise you're locking game content behind a paywall that may or may not be in stock, and anyone with half a brain is going to see you jewing people and give your platform a pass.

the problem is the way it was implemented, and currently how oversaturated with amiibos we are.

>>

That's why they should have had at least one dedicated game that focuses on them, rather than trying their best to lock worthwhile content behind them in every other one of their current released

I also hope they don't make a habit out of producing new stand-alone amiibo for most of the bigger titles. Wolf Link was such a retarded decision when we already have 5 Zelda characters (yes I know the 5 are still compatible with TP:HD but still, they should be the main focus when it comes to amiibo support for that game, not the new Wolf one)

There was no way they could ever win with this. Amiibo Party was a fucking disaster, so they can't really make a game similar to it and not expect it to not be under heavy fire. The safest functionality is to unlock content in games that people would have happily played through normally anyhow. Amiibos were doomed to be vanity items from day one.

they don't unlock the appropriate outfits in Bayo 2, peach link and fox fucking should, unless those are unlocked via difficulty.

i;d love to get a copy of Bayo 2, but its now a $90 game because reselling faggots bought all the used and new copies in my area for a 65 mile radius.

On a cold, Saturday evening my pessimistic cadaver traversed downtown where I came across a simple convenience store. I went in to purchase some food as my stomach had been craving but my ears peered and I spotted some peculiar amiibos. Not for sale, however, they stood among the highest shelf, I remembered that the holidays were coming by and I wanted to purchase them to donate to my younger relatives, guy is a sucker for Nintendo and gets beaten up because of it. So when the clerk was looking I snatched the figures away, surely they are just figures are they? By Christmas evening I planted the presents after a nice afternoon but I had a suspicion that something was wrong. I laughed and just believed it was the wind but I was just wrong about my ignorance. By the next day I found my relatives dead after being informed by a phone call. There blood was scattered onto everywhere and the store clerk was there, dismayed by it all. He spoke in some foreign gibberish, smacked me the head, and took off. The following days chanting covered my mind, I heard it all, screams of Pagan sacrifice with music trying to create a jovial sensation. The rambles were becoming louder and louder as my eyes began to flood at spontaneous moments. Savages killed one another for material good all in the name of worshiping inanimate objects that imitated characters.

I don't own any amiibo yet, but I was thinking of buying Lucas when he comes out. It's hard to find a clear answer regarding amiibo data. If I use an amiibo for Smash and then use it for another game it wipes the Smash data? Please tell me I'm mistaken.

you don't lose the data if you use it in a read-only game like mario kart or yoshi, but you will in mario party if you ignore all the "this will wipe your amiibo data" warnings
>>
>>321600360
If the game is read-only like SMM, it doesn't wipe the data.

You can only store write data for one game though.

Honestly a Skylanders or Disney Infinity Clone would be good enough.

Just release cheaper cards so people can get the rarer characters, and/or make the full game unlockable without amiibo.

>>321600360
some games (like Smash) read and write to the amiibo. Others just read it. If they don't write, then you're safe.

Depends on the game. Some of them write down data to the amiibo while others simply scan it. If you wanted to use Lucas in Smash but also unlock his costume in Super Mario Maker you could

You forgot to cut out 3rd party smash characters.

How many playable characters are there in skylanders and infinity by now. I'm sure they have more. The hardest part is getting started. Smash is really providing the bulk of the amiibos here.

Even if nintendo started out with just mario characters and worked from there, they might make some progress.

Mario & Luigi Paper Jam is another instance of completely fucking up amiibo support

>Game features a card system to use for bonus effects during battles
>Can also get ?-cards to scan amiibo into
>Creating an amiibo card requires writing game data to the amiibo, instead of being read-only
>Using an amiibo card during a battle requires re-scanning the amiibo

This idea should not have gone further than "Scan a Mario card and get a special effect". Scanning them every time during battles, writing to the amiibo, and the "foil" concept are completely fucked up.

Also wanna point out that Paper Jam really likes to cram the New 3DS down your throat, "If I had ZL/ZR buttons, I could replenish my HP or BP on the fly!", "Wow, that first boss dropped a ? card! Look at this tutorial on scanning amiibo."
>>
>>321600637
I don't particularly want more, but if they made more of characters I like I'd buy it just for the merch.

I wish they'd make a dedicated game that was actually worthwhile though because I love the idea behind Toys To Life, but Skylanders and DI don't have many characters that personally appeal to me.

Hold the fuck up. Are people in this thread really suggesting Nintendo amiibo game ideas? It's the entire reason why most people are OK with amiibos that they don't do much outside of costumes and such things?

Amiibo Festival was a horrible game not just because it required AC Amiibo, but because it was obviously a cheap cash-in rushed out for the holidays, like Mario Tennis was.

That, and people who've been waiting patiently for a real AC WiiU game got THAT instead.

But if Nintendo released an actual sandbox game,or something to the likes of Disney Infinity, then you'd have a good moneymaker.

They need to make a killer app for amiibo. I'd say rip off the Toy Story 3 game's toy box mode. Make it a sandbox environment to fuck around, and each amiibo unlocks unique pieces. It would be like a huge level editor basically, but most pieces are unlocked via amiibo. Make it online enabled for multiplayer and make it an NX pack-in game. Amiibo sales would skyrocket like crazy and they'd actually have a use.
>>
>>321598145
I feel like it should've just been Midna as the amiibo, she represents twilight princess enough already. Personally though, I don't mind stand-alone amiibos for big titles, since it's most likely the only merch we're going to get from it anyway.

One idea:

Smash TCG

You buy the amiibo, you have their starter deck. Can tap an amiibo every week for a mini booster pack.

In this TCG, the character's strategy plays much like the fighting game, and effect text is very similar to those of the Pokémon TCG.
But in this game, you and your opponent, online or offline, play cards at the same time. Your weaker, faster Standard Attack will stop your opponent's slower-to-work but stronger Smash Attack. Your Jet Pack Item Card can cancel (evade) your opponent's card if it deals direct damage. Etc.

VLC console games starring those characters.
