Your amiibo, your hero! When you touch the NFC contact point of the Wii U GamePad, New Nintendo 3DS, or New Nintendo 3DS XL with an amiibo figure in a compatible game, you can discover surprising features.

Amiibo have different effects depending on the game: you can unlock modes, weapons, or character customizations, or enhance the abilities of your amiibo figure to make it a perfect partner or a strong opponent. Additionally, the data of your figure is updated while playing, making your amiibo unique!

An amiibo figure can be used in multiple games, taking your favorite titles to a whole new level of enjoyment. Even if you have saved game data from, for example, Super Smash Bros. on your amiibo figure, you can use it to unlock content in Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, and other titles. In some games, it is possible to read certain data from an amiibo figure and save to it. In other games, you can only read data from an amiibo. For example, when you touch the NFC contact point with an amiibo, you can bring that character or some of its traits into the game.

Features:

• Amiibo interact with compatible games when they come into contact with the NFC point. This way, data stored on the figure is transferred to the game, while information from the game is sent to the figure.
• The various compatible games utilize the capabilities of amiibo in different ways.
• Players can choose whether to ally with their amiibo characters or compete against them. Either way, the figures can evolve over time. Those who wish can show their friends their progress.
