Looks like Nintendo has plans for NFC cards and smaller Amiibo which would be more cost effective for consumers for titles with a ton of characters ie: Pokemon and Animal Crossing.

 

Source: Q & A here http://www.nintendo....30qa/index.html

 



 


 

 

Now that we also have decided to make high-quality figures ourselves, we keep making more characters that we think would please our fans. With quality workmanship and attention to even the tiniest of details, amiibo have their own distinct appeal just as a figure. In addition, unique functionality has been installed in amiibo that can be used in games. amiibo can take forms other than figures, too. I just talked about cards (“Nintendo e-Reader”), and the amiibo product range will also include cards in the future. For example, when amiibo become cards, we can create a game which can be played only by passing several cards over the NFC reader/writer, and the results will be stored in the amiibo card. I cannot discuss any of the details today, but amiibo has the potential to propose new ways to play card games.

 

 

We will also launch smaller and even more affordable amiibo figures in the future, so we hope that with this variety of price points, consumers will be able to enjoy a number of amiibo.

 

 

By using amiibo in different forms, we are internally discussing the possibility of using amiibo with, for example, an “Animal Crossing” game and other games in some unique ways. I hope you look forward to our future announcements. We plan to use amiibo to create new ways to play. Since the already-released “Mario Kart 8” is also compatible with amiibo, you can see what unique features can be realized.

This is probably a nice idea.  Of course, I would have liked it if they also made some slightly more expensive/higher quality figures too.

I wonder how much the chip cost.
I seen some basic nfc cards and fobs on ebay for like $1 $2 each. and then you could 3d print the figures on top of them.

Well I guess we would have to wait and see how much cheaper these would be.
I don't plan on buying alot of them so hopefully they dont start to become a thing.

An amiibo RPG that also works with 3DS... and with a Nintendo smartphone app!

It was garbage.  Had to scan 5 cards to play a NES games and 8/10 times you had to scan one card 4-5 times. Also acted as some DLC for Animal Crossing.
