Out now: Super Smash Bros. Collection amiibo – wave 2

Power up your gameplay with amiibo: interactive figures that enhance your games in surprising new ways and 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!

A further six amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Collection are available now, featuring characters from across the world of Nintendo: Luigi, Diddy Kong, Zelda, Little Mac, Pit and Captain Falcon. 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.
