Nintendo President and CEO, Satoru Iwata, announced in their third quarter financial results briefing; amiibos will be able to unlock sections of classic NES and SNES games via a free app coming to the Wii U and scheduled for release in the first half of 2015.
With this app, once you tap your amiibo on the NFC area of the GamePad, you will be able to play highlighted scenes of one certain title for NES or Super NES. You cannot play the entire game due to a time limit, but another tap of the amiibo will enable you to try another highlighted scene in the game.”
Ultimately I believe this may have been executed poorly and would have benefited Nintendo a lot more (in terms of amiibo sales) if they would have given just a bit more than a trial run.
Try harder next time.
