Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?

Have the full collection goal in mind but not obsessing over it.

I had the full Smash line up when the last ones for the Wii U/3DS games came out but got a bit burnt out when Smash Ultimate came out, hence missing a fair few. I'm patient and will wait for the ones I missed to get restocked but man, Joker's gonna be awhile isnt he? Still, the missing ones are just about still in the single digit.

As for the non-Smash, have a fair few but there are gaps and in the end will have to be ebay listings down the line as I see no scenario where Nintendo would rerelease the Wolly Yoshis or Samus Returns amiibo unless those games see a Switch port. And Boxboy will be the last one for sure.... XD

It would be a death wish if the Switch Successor does not have backwards compatibly with the Switch. I think consumers are starting to get tried of rererebuying ports of games and that reflects in Sony and Microsoft offering full-ish BC on their current gen systems.

The NSO library will be easy to port over day one, its the downloads and carts that would be the real concern. Imagine being told you had to rebuy all those Resident Evil ports or MegaMan Collections all over again over a long milking session.

Not to mention free upgrades that XBox and Playstation do from last to current gen, it'll be interesting if Nintendo allows that if the successor has full-ish Switch BC.
