Nintendo characters come to life in new ways as amiibo – interactive figures that have the ability to communicate with multiple specially designed games by just touching them to the Wii U GamePad controller. Nintendo plans to release first series of amiibo this year alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Features:
• amiibo can interact with compatible games when players touch them to the Wii U GamePad controller, reading character data into games and saving data to the figure.
• Different compatible games will use amiibo in different ways. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to use amiibo. Games like Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 10, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Yoshi’s Woolly World are also planned to support amiibo.
• In Super Smash Bros., players can battle alongside or against their amiibo characters, leveling them up in the process. They can then bring them to a friend who has a Wii U and the game to show off how they’ve trained and customized their characters.
• A new NFC reader/writer, which is being designed for Nintendo 3DS, is scheduled to launch in 2015.
they will print money
I know fanboys here will buy a turd that says nintendo on it, so yes, it’ll print money
a lot of people collect action figures and figurines at least these serve a purpose.
I’ll be buying them regardless haha
yes, because nintendo didn’t put the features in the game…it’s like microtransactions, you, nintendo fanboys were hating ea for
Except you get the toys in real life. Worth it.
i don’t know how old are you, but i don’t get toys
I’ll be buying the luigi figure. I wont use it though. I’m also almost sure that if there is such a thing as pokken fighters it’ll be with these nfc figures.
Ignoring EA isn’t making games for Wii U so WTF you talking about?
nintendo fanboys are hating ea for micrtotransactions, and this is the same shit, buying individual chraraters for a specific price
Its completely and not necessary for full enjoyment. Im a solo player, so theres no reason for me to buy a figure to pit against another person (since all my friends play other consoles). Its not a mandatory buy just an afded feature.
*Added
Ignoring you can use it to play online. But you rather play dumb as if you couldn’t.
Ignoring it’s more a rip off that Ps4 charges online and PS3’s online is free. But because it’s Sony you don’t have a problem with that. Also ignoring the charges of DLC 3rd party tittles from broken games you always brag about not coming to Wii U.
that what sony does is also retarded, but dto their defense, they do have a good online, nintendo does not, and almost all sony games have online of some sort
and i don’t talk about sony because this is a nintendo site, and nintendo is supposed to be better than anyone, according to fans, also i don’t own a sony console
Ignoring if you don’t own a Sony console, how you know it offers good online? You really experience good online owning the console than playing some one elses.
I know its features.Ignoring that i should be ignoring you, how about fuck you
Ignoring Killer Instict did the same but you have no problem with that.
Probably because it’s a shit game
@ Đonko of the first men
No it’s not, there not needed to play the game. They can interact with compatible games when players touch them to the Wii U GamePad controller, reading character data into games and saving data to the figure. In Super Smash Bros., we can battle alongside or against other amiibo characters, leveling them up in the process. we can then bring them to a friend who has a Wii U and the game to show off how they’ve trained and customized their characters. The Game Master has spoken. Now go suck on a bottle
And thats why we want an Amiibo but he rather play dumb as if it’s a toy. Also some will collect them to put on shelfs. Also ignoring that some people will purchase two same characters using one and not opening the other.
that is in smash bros, they have uses in other games… continue to amuse me with your lack of knowlage
Ignoring none of current Wii U games but MK8 has that figurine feature. But you rather play dumb as if Pikmin 3 is getting a tacky add on like most Xbone games.
Ignoring PS4 surpassed Wii U sales and wii u had “Jintendo” all over it. But you rather play dumb like that didn’t happen.
Nintendo brand turds! Shut up and take my money!
Same can be said for Disney and Activision but I guess you ain’t gonna talk dumb shit about them too huh?
Thought so.
i don’t care for them
So it’s not a big deal for grown men to buy disney toys yet let it be Nintendo and……….
I don’t care for skylanders, so i won’t post about them, just know that i hate all gimmicks, including figurines
Ignoring that it’s not just a gimmick but a niche. But because Sony or Xbox don’t offer NFC you hate it for Nintendo since Wii U has something rivals don’t offer.
it’s a gimmick, stop compicating things, nfc is a gimmick, ps4’s touch shit is a gimmick, kinect is a gimmick
the only good “gimmick” are the rumble triggers
Still talking as if your opinion is a fact, are we? The world doesn’t revolve around you. It never has & it never will.
of course you grown men will buy these toys lol.
Jealousy?
Ignoring that grown man also collect action figures and keep them for years. But you rather play dumb like that doesn’t happen. You’re just salty Wii U has a something that will actually boost sales.
i saw your video. looks like you are so desesperate. i want to know when is your birthday bacause i want to give you aloe vera for your burns
Look who’s still playing a so called “kiddy” console at his basement closet bedroom.
Stop whining like your mother’s filthy cunt and break the fucking consoles if you got any balls to show your “hatred” on a fucking piece of hardware material.
Of course grown man sasori cries constantly about nintendo, and worships naruto lol
PACMAN AND MR GAME AND WATCH UNVEILED ON SSB WII U AND 3DS
Can’t wait to get these! Especially for Mario Kart 8! XD
It sounds so great! It’s a perfect fit for smash, I never thought of such a thing. Also, the overall idea is good, I’ll have to buy ’em all!
I wonder how they will be utilised in Toad’s game…I’m guessing new levels or something?
It’s like DLC, but once you buy one, you unlock the all the packs bound to that character, for all games that supports it!
soo game and watch confirmed?!?
Did Zelda Williams announce anything?
U just reminded of that, maybe its majora’s mask 3d, that is her favourite Zelda game
She played in the Smash Celebrity Tourney! She almost won lol.
I hope to be able to collect them all.
Will not be buying these just drawl line here this was targeted to little kids.
Ignorong if Sony had it you would be drooling all over it.
Lucina confirmed?
lol you guys are really going to buy these toys?
Um yes. Ignoring Rayman Legends trailer concept had it and is part of what makes the Gamepad the Gamepad.
you have a plastic sword and you’re asking if grown men will buy those toys? and you’re like…i don’t know how old are you…but i bet that you have glandular problems so i think you’re too old and you play with plastic master swords
that plastic sword is a dick toy to f#@k himself. sasori you pervert gorilla
Also ignoring grown man collect toys from McDonald’s.

Ignoring no one cares abput your sword you played with.

And are you gonna stop sucking off your gorilla mom? No?
Then carry on with your nasty incest ass while we choose what we want to do and buy for ourselves and/or families you basement dwelling cunt.

What a dick.
Is that OUR Carlos Mendoza? xD Awesome!
How will the packaging work? I don’t really like opening sealed stuff like boxes for collector’s purposes, but if it’s anything like a game case where I can just click it back shut, then I’m all in for it.
Ignoring just buy a Skylander piece to find out how the packaging works.
It will be great for those who collect and is a great idea for Nintendo.
Pacman Just announced
I’m so glad they’re using the Pacman World design.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! HE’S IN!!! HAHAHAHA! NOW I GOT TO HEAD TO MIIVERSE & LAUGH AT THE PEOPLE THAT SAID HE’LL NEVER BE IN!!! Now to just reveal Ridley as playable & I can just rub the knife in deeper into the naysayers! Vengeance is at hand!!
