Release date: 20 March 2015. Touch, Watch and connect to your games; 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. Amiibo can interact with compatible games when players touch them to the Wii U GamePad controller, reading character data into games and saving date to the figure. In Super Smash Bros for Wii U players can battle alongside or against their amiibo characters levelling them up in the process. WARNING(S): Only for domestic use.
