I'm pretty sure during the initial announcement they were saying Switch Online would be a paid service with details coming later.

You're correct, it's been said since the beginning current switch online is temporary and is on all the boxes.

At least Fairy Fencer is their least obnoxious game. The fanservice is noticeably way more tame than like any Neptunia game plus the main character is the biggest rear end in a top hat who decides to pull a mystical sword with fairy inside out of the ground because he wanted to sell it for food. It's great.

Although Harley still exists so it still has at least some of that trademark Idea Engine fanservice.

That is the ledge I am standing on. Some of them are pretty cool, but they don't really seem like something I would actually get any value out of.

In my quite-serious opinion, if there's a character you just love beyond all reason or consequence, buy that one and no other.

If there isn't, take whatever you were budgeting for Amiibos, put half into savings and the other half into something you're 100% sure you will enjoy. Take some friends out to dinner, your treat.

The only Amiibos I have is BOTW bow Link, 8 bit Link and Mr. Resetti.

There are some more that I would like but where the hell would I put them without looking tacky?

I own two 8-bit Link's because they were on sale at walmart for $6 a piece, I keep one in the box on my desk at work and one is out of the box, originally used with BOTW, but now gets randomly thrown around by my kids.

I have a lot of them and I like my collection but being one of those people who will never own a house I'll probably get sick of lugging them from apartment to apartment every few years and eventually part ways with them. It would be cool to have some kind of display case for a few of them because plastic tchotchkes are fun to have but until I have a room I can dedicate to my stupid hobbies they'll live in the christmas ornament storage bins I bought for them and like it.
