I’m thinking something like that would just encourage people to seek out bootleg Amiibo cards. (I would totally invest in a set of bootleg Amiibo cards if they were just a teensy bit easier to get my hands on.)
I would expect that they would have implemented this as a widget that attaches to a Switch, especially since most people interested in something like this would already have a Switch – but I suppose the economics allow them to target a larger audience. Or perhaps they don’t want to encourage people to take the Switch to bed.
I also might have expected more features, like something that tracks your sleep duration or that encourages you to go to bed earlier. Maybe they’re holding things back to encourage people to upgrade in the future? Or maybe they don’t want to overcomplicate things.
… As always, Nintendo’s ultimate goal should be to find some way to monetize people speculating about what Nintendo should do.
