Nintendo has revealed a new update will be arriving for Super Smash Bros. 3DS and will be available to download in the eShop tomorrow. According to Nintendo of Europe’s download newsletter this morning, the update will enable support for the Super Smash Bros. collection of amiibo on the new Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL systems. So if you’ve already upgraded with an Ambassador edition, or are purchasing a new system this Friday, you’ll be able to begin portable amiibo training from February 10. Those with a standard system, though, will have to wait for the release of a special peripheral device to be released by the company in future months.
A free update will also be released on 10th February for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS that will enable amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Collection to be used with the new systems.

Ugh! I can’t stand even hearing about Smash Bros. anymore (especially the horrible 3DS version). I hate these games!
Pleb.
There’s nothing horrible about the 3DS version and what could you possibly hate about smash bros?
Will there be a peripheral for the older 3DS to use Amiibo’s? The one that was shown last year’s E3?
Yes, it’s coming at a later, currently unspecified, date. :)
so is this Europe only?

Yet another reason to upgrade to the New 3DS. Unlike the stardard 3DS, you don’t have to pay for an attachment that will allow you to use your amiibo. That & you have one less thing to keep up with when using your New 3DS.
Does anyone know if my smash wii u Amiibo will work on here or do I have to delete all data
That’s a really good question! Since they are both roughly the same game, I don’t see why we should have to delete the data. But with how Nintendo’s been the past month, I wouldn’t be surprised if we do have to delete the data to use it with the 3DS version.
Good question, Donnel, I’ve been wondering the same thing.
