You might have to erase data if you plan on using Amiibos with multiple games.

Amiibo games that require the ability to both write and read data on an Amiibo figure will have to erase data on a previous game in order to be used again, according to Nintendo of Japan.
For example, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U requires writing and reading save data on each figure. If you take these to games such as Hyrule Warriors or Mario Kart 8, the save data can be retained as these are read-only titles. If you use the figurines with both Smash Bros. and another game that requires writing save data, you might have to erase older data in order to make room for the new game.
Nintendo has not commented further regarding save data for Amiibo figures.
(re-posted from another thread, where it was posted by accident)until there is another game that needs to save things....
Considering these things will probably be used in at most 3-4 games for the more common figures (Mario, etc.) and so far only one game saves data on the things (Smash), I doubt this will be much of an issue.
WTF?
Okay, just how much save space do these things have? I mean, are they recycling old Gamecube memory cards or something?
If only there was some type of game system they could connect to that had a large amount of built in flash memory...
Limited space? These things arn't storing your YouTube videos, it's just numerical data. Is it seriously that difficult or expensive to stick a 1 MB memory chip in these things?
I would not be surprised if Nintendo gets around this limitation by making an Amiibo digital storage area so you could just store the game data on the system and reload you Amiibo.
Per figure per month.I would not be surprised if Nintendo gets around this limitation by making an Amiibo digital storage area so you could just store the game data on the system and reload you Amiibo.
And Amiibo "Bank", if you will...for the low, low price of $5.
