well your not forced with the Amiibo's their optional to a certain degree with Smash you not forced to pick them up . now if it's some you feel that you can't live with out like that spinner weapon in Hyruler warriors for Link that's up to you.After I collected Disney Infinity figures, I'm wary of another game that demands you to buy countless number of figurines in order to keep up with the game. I doubt I'll ever buy an Amiibo toy, unless next year's Black Friday gives us a deep discount like buy one and get another one 70% off or something.
Yeah, there's no actual game for the amiibos, yet. They're in a weird spot were they're both collectibles, and have some uses for certain games. Though, I think it's inevitable that at some point Nintendo will try a Skylanders type of game, or do a partnership with either Activision or Disney to co-brand a game that uses the amiibos.
Working with indy developers or third parties who have had relations with Nintendo in the past is one thing. Disney is another.well we already from pae 2 this was said
Nintendo considering letting third-party games use Amiibos
that said the way I see it . if Nintendo did a collaboration with Disney infinity it would still be on their own consoles but we'd see Mario Nintendo characters interact with Mickey & Disney characters . That's if it ever come to pass.

Earlier this morning, Nintendo streamed their latest Nintendo Direct presentation for the Japanese release of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which will be available this weekend in Japan. At the end of the stream, there was a special little something for Metroid fans.
Similar to the other collaborations, the one with Metroid: Other M will feature quests that will allow you to gather materials to make Samus’ Power Suit and Zero Suit, along with a Bowgun weapon that looks like her Arm Cannon. By collecting all the pieces of the set, they will make some sounds you might be familiar with from the Metroid series.
The collaboration will run from December 17th, 2014 – January 28th, 2015. It will be available via 7-Eleven stores throughout Japan.
Not limited to the collaboration with Metroid: Other M, all collaborations will feature special limited edition Guild Cards as well.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will release in Japan this Saturday, and a western release in early 2015 for Nintendo 3DS. Since the Zelda and Animal Crossing collaborations are confirmed for the West, the Metroid collaboration will probably make its way over, too.

Capcom USA and Nintendo have confirmed that the Metroid: Other M collaborative equipment in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be available in the West. The collaboration was announced via a Japanese Nintendo Direct for the game earlier this morning.
Metroid isn’t the only Nintendo franchise that will be represented in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Players will also be able to use Link’s tunic and weapons from the Zelda series, and will also be able to dress their Palicoes (AKA Felynes) up as Isabelle and Mr. Resetti from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Meanwhile, other non-Nintendo franchises are being included in the game, too. A collaboration with Bandai Namco’s Taiko Drum Master and Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog are part of the mix, and Capcom even said to Siliconera that the Sonic collaboration was created with MH4U’s Western release in mind.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be released in North America and Europe in early 2015.
