Amiibo figures represent a completely innovative way to interact with your favorite Nintendo characters and games.
These figures have a special built-in chip that utilizes NFC communication technology.
By touching the NFC sensor of the Wii U GamePad, or the dedicated accessory for Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS, with a figure while playing certain games, the data on the chip will be automatically transferred to the game, allowing the character to appear on screen, for example. During gameplay, the data on your figure will also be updated, so by continuing to play, you can make your amiibo truly unique!
New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL incorporate the NFC sensor directly into the console.
Amiibo allow you to interact with compatible games in many different ways... But first and foremost, amiibo are official collectible figures that every Nintendo fan will want to get their hands on!
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.
