amiibo figurines represent a completely innovative way to interact with your favorite Nintendo characters and games.
These figurines have a special built-in chip that uses NFC communication technology.
By touching the NFC sensor of the Wii U GamePad, or thespecial accessory for Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS, with a figurine while playing certain titles, the data on the chip will be automatically transferred to the game, allowing, for example, the character to appear on the screen. During games, the data of your figurine will also be updated, so by continuing to play, you can make your amiibo truly unique!
New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL have the NFC sensor built directly into the console.
amiibo allow you to interact with compatible games in many different ways... But first and foremost, amiibo are official collectible figurines that every Nintendo fan won't want to miss!
amiibo are unique products of their kind and differ from similar products available on the market due to their ability to be used with different games and on different consoles.
Attention: only some amiibo are compatible with a given game, NOT all.
