So I don't think it was so much amiibo themselves affecting Nintendo's game production as it was the above circumstances, although I did find myself buying significantly more on amiibo last year than I did games, I would say, with amiibo sales undoubtedly accounting for a decent portion of Nintendo's yearly revenue. Also, I would imagine Iwata's unfortunate sickness and passing may have really haulted production.

I think this may be Nintendo's way of trying to phase out the Wii U (and possibly 3DS) as they devote extra time and resources into ensuring the NX has a strong launch lineup. I don't think it's necessarily the amiibo to blame, though. The trend looks to be continuing this year, with the majority of games (Paper Jam, Twilight Princess HD, Hyrule Warriors Legends) porting or re-using assets from existing games. However, I would have to agree with your statement.Ģ015 was, in my opinion, a pretty pitiful year in terms of new games, from the half-baked Ultra Smash to the gimmicky AC: amiibo Festival. That's a very controversial statement, and I'd say a lot of Nintendo fans would argue Nintendo still had a strong game library for 2015 with the likes of Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. We have had a very poor selection of Nintendo games.'

Sat 13th Feb 'For the last year the Amiibos have taken over from the games.

So many properties lend themselves to it as well - DragonBall, Godzilla, TMNT, Transformers - just off the top of my head. I don't ever envision a future where games don't have NFC toys, smartphones having readers almost guarantees their survival. I don't think it's a fad though, it's the future of gaming.

I do think having this one bad year though will hurt Skylanders going forward, too much competition, but 5 yearly releases and billions of $ is a great run. So competition hurt, but not as much as the Skylander designs, if the designs were good like the last couple of years - Swap and Trap - Skylanders still would have sold well.

Who packs but no game yet, waiting on a PS4 as I'm very worried Wii U won't get future DLC for the game.

Of course competition was a factor - not amiibo, nobody cares, store are full of unsold AC amiibo - but Star Wars is a genuine phenomemom, like Pokemon, but with a much larger audience b/c people don't age out of them and Lego Dimensions sold probably way more toy packs than the game - we own both Dr. So it isn't the competition, it isn't that the fad is over, it's simply that this year's batch of toys was lackluster. A couple of vehicles are ok, but the lack of personality that the actual past characters had. And I keep looking but there aren't any more me want. We owned about 100 of the toys before Superchargers - about 25 per year - but picked up only 8 or 10 this year. Worryingly, Activision also warned that it expected further declines in 2016 for Skylanders and Call of Duty - the former is easy to understand given 2015's figures but the latter is puzzling, as Call of Duty: Black Ops III was one of last year's most commercially successful games. Activision was once the king of this arena, but now has to share it not only with LEGO, but Disney Infinity and Nintendo's best-selling amiibo, too. 'Greater competition' or course refers to LEGO Dimensions, which, according to MCV, was the big winner in the UK Toys To Life sector, and we're assuming performed just as well in North America. Activision Publishing's casual titles, namely Q3 release Skylanders SuperChargers and Q4 release Guitar Hero Live, performed weaker than expected, we believe largely due to greater competition in the toys to life genre and due to the casual audience's shift to mobile devices.
