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 make an amiibo appear in-game and fight in your place.
The character you load will grow as you fight, increasing their attack and defense power, learning various tactics, and even customizing their special moves.
