Are they worth the price ? What do they do exactly ? Do you buy your Mario Amiibo for Super Smash and then Mario gets a special move ?
I've seen people with half a G's worth of Amiibos, and I'm here thinking, "that must be some of the most expensive DLC out there."
I'm surprised they're so popular.
They're basically Skylanders but used in much more broader and creative ways. And it's Nintendo so of course it's gonna be popular.
As collectable figures there pretty high quality, not super but still good.
See, unlike Skylanders, Amiibo's can be used in variety of games and even between systems!
They usually unlock some unique costume but for special games like Super Smash Bros. For example, they let you create a custom NPC that you train, it even copies some of your battle stratigies! It's pretty cool.
Now each amiibo is $10-13 but they're also hard to find if your looking for a popular one, especially online.
Hope that was helpful!
