These character figures are not only fun to touch and look at, but also connect with the game. While playing compatible software, touch an amiibo to the Wii U GamePad or the bottom screen of the New Nintendo 3DS to create a variety of in-game experiences. For example, in the first compatible software, "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U," you can have an amiibo appear in the game and fight in your place. As you fight, your character will grow, improving their attack and defense power, learning various tactics, and even customizing their special moves.
Not only are they fun to touch and look at, but amiibo are character figures that connect with the game.
Depending on the software that supports amiibo, they can appear as playable characters or give you special items.
A single amiibo can lead to a variety of experiences and playstyles in various games.
On the Wii U, touch an amiibo to the Wii U GamePad, and on the New Nintendo 3DS, touch the bottom screen. With either software, simply touching an amiibo to connect with the game will connect you to compatible software.
You can also enjoy amiibo on the Nintendo 3DS/3DS LL if you have a Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer.
