Well it's probably just going to be that. What more can you possibly do with it aside from what it already does especially with it's limitations being only able to hold 1 game data at a time. An Amiibo only game to compete with Skylanders seems like the only option but then they'd have to wait long enough for Smash Bros to be milked to death so people don't get mad about losing data and picking only a single game.

This is what I have been (sort of) thinking since Amiibo was announced.
As far as I know, Nintendo and Disney have some sort of 'deal' going on. I mean, Nintendo did let them use Mario (among other things) in Wreck-It-Ralph with Wreck-it-Ralph 2 '
apparently' having more involvement from Nintendo characters, as well as I remember Disney Infinity originally supposed to be having some sort of Nintendo exclusive content included (as well as a few other things if I remember correctly).
They should have made it so that the Amiibo also work in the WiiU version of Disney Infinity. You don't even have to 'register it as a game', you just need to have the DI figure board recognize that the figure is actually placed on the board, so it shouldn't even affect the Amiibo's "one game per Amiibo" thing. I'm certain that DI figures hold no other data other than about what figure it is, so I dunno why this wouldn't work.
It would probably also heavily benefit both parties as well. More people would buy Disney Infinity for use with their Amiibo (maybe even a small boost to WiiU sales from the Amiibo character exclusivity?), more people would buy Amiibo to work with their Disney Infinity.
Nintendo and Disney characters would fit pretty damn well together if they were in the same game. It's really a shame they didn't do this to be honest...I think both Nintendo and Disney missed an opportunity here, unless they're actually already planning this (i doubt they are).
