According to the slides and commentary, Nintendo is looking into releasing card-based Amiibos along with the existing figure-based Amiibos. They also talk about Amiibos on the WiiU allowing for free VC demos, yes. The demos are limited to select "famous scenes" from related games, and there will be a play time limit. The scene selections will be rotated, but you cannot play the entire game for free. They plan on introducing this in the first half of the year.
