The reason this game will flop is twofold.



1. Amiibos are releasing TWO MONTHS (at least) after Disney Infinity 2.0 and Skylanders Trap Team. So basically Nintendo thought it was a wise idea to release their new kid on the block TWO MONTHS after two Billion dollar selling franchises have already got the crowd sold on their beautiful products? Not only that, but the two competitors aren't just any billion dollar selling bozos, one is Marvel+Disney, and the other is basically Skylanders (the first to use this concept)+Pokemon.



2. They are releasing it initially SOLELY for this game. And no, they don't unlock new characters. They don't give you more customization. They give you friggin CPUs...

Really? You combat two of the best of their class with that??? Nintendo hasn't even announced if the initial Amiibos will even work with Mario Kart 8, etc which is an even worse move.



Basically Nintendo is putting all of their money on this game and this game alone this holiday season. It's sad to admit it, but if Smash U fails, Amiibo fails.

Cynicism is questioning motives. Skepticism is questioning beliefs. Be a skeptic, NOT a cynic. Yeah, they realize it. And that's why they're releasing them. *eyeroll*

As for it coming out later, it's two months later, Amiibo is the next big thing now, Skylanders and Infinity are old by then, if anything it will get people into collecting more figurines for games.



Underwhelming introducing to Amiibo's so far though, it's hard to tell what they even do in Smash Bros. I'm going to assume before they come out Nintendo will explain more of what they do and what games support them. Check out the amazing band "ESCAPE THE FATE" right here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Me9nPk5ro They have announced the the initial Mario Amiibo will work with Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad as well I think, maybe not right off the bat, but that figure will eventually.As for it coming out later, it's two months later, Amiibo is the next big thing now, Skylanders and Infinity are old by then, if anything it will get people into collecting more figurines for games.Underwhelming introducing to Amiibo's so far though, it's hard to tell what they even do in Smash Bros.
