The following comments were made in a TIME Magazine interview with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima...

''Our earliest goal for the Amiibo was to have these connected to software and have them enhance the play experience for the consumer. What we’re seeing instead is that the Amiibo are being picked up more as a collection item at this point, rather than, say, as an interactive item with software. And so we haven’t really established them as an enhancement for all of our software at this point.''
