Description
The article discusses how amiibo are a new way to interact with Nintendo games and characters. If you touch your Wii U GamePad's NFC touch point with the figure while playing certain games, data on the chip will be transferred into the game and used in a range of ways. As you play, your figure's data will also be updated, so keep playing to make your amiibo unique!
amiibo can also be used with Nintendo 3DS and 2DS.
Link is the main character in The Legend of Zelda games. A young boy
living in Hyrule, Link is often given the task of rescuing Princess
Zelda and Hyrule from the Gerudo thief Ganondorf. Humble to the end,
Link is known not merely as a hero but as a symbol of courage, strength
and wisdom as well.
Touch, watch and connect to your games!
Discover amiibo, a brand new way to interact with your favourite
Nintendo characters and games. If you touch your Wii U GamePad's NFC
touch point with the figure while playing certain games, data on the
chip will be transferred into the game and used in a range of ways. As
you play, your figure's data will also be updated, so keep playing to
make your amiibo unique!
See your amiibo battle and watch it grow
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U you can transfer the data from your
amiibo so it can appear in the game and fight for you. As your amiibo
fights, it will develop its own unique attributes and skills, becoming
stronger and learning new moves. You can even add your own twist to
combat by customising special moves!
Connect to a wide range of games!
In addition to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, you'll be able to use
amiibo in a number of other games - and how they're used depends on the
game! In the future, figures of a wide variety of characters from
different franchises will be released.
Also compatible with Nintendo 3DS and 2DS
As well as working with Wii U, amiibo can also be used with Nintendo
3DS and 2DS via an accessory that is planned for release in 2015.
Details about compatible software planned for Nintendo 3DS will be
announced in the future.
