@Lasatar: Berukyurosu and Doragyurosu do that already.

@BellGoRiiing: Monster amiibos acting like GQs is a good idea, but I can't see it working since there's way too many monsters in the game, and no way they'd make amiibos for each one. Even if they did, it'd be even worse than Sm4sh amiibos, just downright impossible to get the ones you want (still trying to find a Greninja amiibo here, lol). And if they just made amiibos for specific monsters people would whine about their favorite monster not getting one. If you want monster figures just get the Capcom Figure Builder ones, I own some and they're pretty nice.

What I can see working though is Hunter amiibos, they would work as a AI partner (similarly to Frontier). There could be an amiibo for each weapon class and you'd be able to customize them and maybe even level them up. It'd be an alternative to multiplayer for the people who don't have internet or just can't find anyone decent to play with.
