You guys are saying the amiibo craze is dead when they just sold almost 1 million amiibo in October....in the US alone.

That's not enough!

That's not enough!

They sold 10.6 million from March to September...

Not enough!  It needs to be... 100... billion.

I think the difference is that the initial blast is gone so they have enough stock for some of the rare ones. Scalpers are losing their business.

So I've been pondering this for a while.  Why has motion controls gone from "The greatest thing ever" and "I won't play a game anymore if it doesn't have motion control" to "Motion controls ruined gaming."?  I personally like them, even though I always felt they never changed the game, just the way you play them.  I still wish Sony would set bindings where the second analogue stick was automatically set to the move sensors so devs didn't have to program them in.  But why is everyone automatically against them?  Twilight Princess was heralded for its controls when it came out 9 years ago, yet all of a sudden everyone wants the game without it and with the inferior gamepad gameplay (I'll be using a Classic Controller at this point).  What are everyone's thoughts on the matter?

Depending on the person, the reason changes.

Some people
-are lazy
-hate things that are popular.
-don't find any game to really make motion controls worth it.  
-find motion controls to be poorly executed.  

Also many of the people that enjoyed motion controls are the exact same people that typically don't play video games, and thus are far less likely to buy a successor to the Wii.  
This is, in my opinion one of the biggest reasons the Wii U hasn't seen great success like the Wii did.

Wow they actually said

"but although this never plays quite as well as F-Zero GX"

LMAO!!!

Its a new IP and not even made by Nintendo right?

Thats like saying I like Final Fantasy but Dragon Quest isnt as good as it. Two different flavors  - cant even compare them.
