You mean, “Amiibo Tap,” and “Mini Mario & Friends Amiibo Challenge?” Those were actually pretty cool, and I wish they had more free games that use Amiibo. In a way you pay for those games already with Amiibo, so requiring Amiibo is forgivable for those.
 
Though controversially, “Metroid: Samus Returns” had some unlockable content (like a harder mode, or Fusion suit) locked by Amiibo, which kinda helped give Amiibo a bad rep’ in recent times. (Correct me if I’m wrong, if there are alternative ways to unlock those.)  
Some accuse it of being Nintendo’s way of being “greedy,” and “forcing you to buy them.” But honestly, they haven’t done it as much, (compared to all the risky randomized lootboxing other companies do) and as you said no game really requires Amiibo to play, or force you to buy more, except those free ones.
 
“Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival” also took heat for requiring Amiibo to play, but gamers always forget to mention that game does come with two free Amiibo, and Amiibo cards. (Even when said game’s price dropped.) So it’s not like they force you to buy more, unless you have two more friends dying to play the game. (Unlikely due to the backlash, and low critical reception.)  
Still, the game might’ve been better received if it was another free game, with a download code included with certain Amiibo, or if it was an actual board game.
 
That said, being the most hated AC game, honestly “Amiibo Festival” isn’t bad. It’s like Mario Party, but “less friendship ruining.”  
It’s not necessarily a great video game, but a decent digital board game, with some AC twists (with nods to the AC series) especially if you have younger relatives to play it with like me whom enjoy board games.

So how ‘bout that new upcoming AC game? I kinda hope like with “New Leaf” they sell it a li’l cheaper too then the usual Switch game.
 
@Marx  
Nice dress, Izzy. Hehe
 
@Death2  
It’s ok.

I love New Leaf, it’s probably the best AC game so far.
 
Unless the upcoming “New Horizons” proves better, (getting your own island sounds cool, and a good progression for the series.) which is due out in March.

They’re pretty cool, in fact most of the “wolf” villagers are. Freya is probably my favorite wolfy, she was one of my first AC villagers whom moved in. (The GameCube game.)
 
I also just realized the series is basically reaching it’s 20th anniversary this year, if you take the Japanese N64 version into account, making “New Horizons” release well timed.

And a dungeon crawler apparently. Funny how much games change in development. …Usually for the better. (Heck, did you know Mario was originally going to have a gun in the original SMB? Or that the SMB spinning fire bars were originally going to be in Zelda 1 instead?)
 
AC actually still has some RPG qualities when you think about it. The camera view system, and such in the original N64/GameCube game is even reminiscent of old 2D RPG or adventure games. Even the “chibi” style of the characters look reminiscent of old overhead character sprites, which is probably why AC is popular with retro gamers.

Yeah, though we didn’t miss much, as it’s basically just the GameCube game with fewer characters/features/items/NES games. (This is why the GCN game had N64 quality graphics.) The GameCube game is basically an improved remake.

Despite her cute/short chibi appearance, I’m pretty sure she’s a grown-up regardless, seeing as she works as a mayor’s secretary, and second-in-command basically. In fact, frankly she practically is more like the mayor then you are at times. (Especially, when you aren’t playing the game.)  
So I’m sure she can buy “Doom.”
 
@Marx  
Everything she wears is adorable.
 
Though, her “glasses” outfit is missing the “glasses.”
