Whether you've picked up selected figures from one series, cherrypicked a range of top-tier Nintendo superstars or bought a one-off of your favourite, it's difficult to resist the call of amiibo for long. Granted, quality usage in games themselves is an issue still to be resolved, but at least that's something that can be continually addressed and refined as we move through amiibo becoming a fully-fledged part of the Nintendo experience.
