Welcome to Gaia! ::

what do you thing about nintendos new idear and why ?

Depends on how the characters will function in each game.

This isn't just Skylanders or Disney Infinite; the characters don't just pop into the games and stay the way they are.

The evidence to that lies in the way Smash Bros on Wii U will make them work; instead of just being another Mario, a Mario Amiibo figure will level up beyond the normal hard CPU difficulty cap of 9, all the way up to level 50, and will develop its own fighting styles as it does so.

Literally, it's an evolving AI that gains stats and changes its way of fighting as you allow it to fight battles in Smash.

This was all confirmed during the Smash portion of E3 2014, but so many people were against the very idea of Amiibo's that most of them didn't even pay attention to the potential behind this idea.

Now, whether or not the figures will function in any sort of similar fashion or whether they'll just be used to store personal stats or something, is something, in games like Mario Kart 8, is something that still remains to be seen.

But for Smash in particular, Amiibo's are quite literally the preferred CPU opponent, and quite possibly the very first case of Evolving AI's in a console game EVER...

One UK retailer has them available for pre-order for £12.85

I'm going to buy a lot of them, but I'm skeptical about their in-game use being anything groundbreaking.
But it will be a problem if they start using them to unlock DLC characters.

"Speaking to the Seattle Times, Fils-Aime said:

You can expect them to be comparable to the Disney and Skylander products that are on the market."

So like $13.00 - $17.00.
