So I see the stuff in games for the Amiibos but what exactly can you do with them?
They are nintendo's answer to skylanders i guess.
Yes, but WTF is Skylanders?
Never played it myself but it is a spin off of the spiral the dragon games where you collect these figures that use a platform (think e reader for the GBA) and can be used to directly add characters in the game instead of selecting a character.
So you are playing for the game
A set up to have your character read and inputed in said game
Various additional characters and boosters to affect game play or crest a team
In game staue are saved to said game statue
And now we have various imitators like Disney and now the Aminbos
At lest that is my take on what it is based on ads.
A much more expensive verson of the old e reader for the GBA.
I always thought fighting card games would be the one to use this platform more successfully but they have seemed to have found a market for this stuff.
