Power up your gameplay with amiibo: interactive figures that enhance your games in surprising new ways! Available across Europe starting today, amiibo bring all your favourite Nintendo characters to life. Simply tap an amiibo figure to the Wii U GamePad’s NFC touchpoint while using compatible software and you’ll uncover surprising new features – you might be able to access extra content in your game, or see your amiibo spring to life as a powerful fighter!

The first wave of 12 amiibo is available from today, featuring characters from across the world of Nintendo: Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Fox, Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Pikachu, Kirby and Marth. Plenty more figures are on the way in the coming months, so pick out your favourites and build your own unique collection!

 

amiibo figures are already compatible with several Wii U titles*, with more compatible titles on the way in 2015. Certain amiibo unlock special Mii racing suits in Mario Kart 8 or give access to items in Hyrule Warriors, while in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, players can train a fighter to battle alongside them as a perfect partner – or their ultimate opponent! 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.

 

Find out more about what amiibo can do in compatible software, and take a look at the complete line-up of figures, at our official amiibo website.

 

amiibo are available in shops now.
