Amiibos… Plastic little figures with specialized chips in
them to interact with your games. The effects they provide vary from figure to
figure and game to game. And while I really do like the idea of collecting
little figures of your favorite Nintendo icons (because, really, will there
ever be a chance for a Marth, Ness, or Villager figure after this?), I can’t
help but feel like Amiibos are ultimately a bad thing. Perhaps it’s because I’m
jaded on the fact that a Ganondorf Amiibo still doesn’t exist and, at this
rate, may likely never see the light of day. But I like to think my opinions on
Amiibo aren’t entirely based on selfish desires to own a figure of the true
dark lord of our times. #istandwithganondorf
