What is amiibo?

amiibo are interactive figures that can give you access to extra content or other features in compatible software.

Bring your favourite Nintendo character to life by tapping amiibo figures to the Wii U GamePad to interact with compatible Wii U games – no portal required! And, with the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, amiibo support is built-in.

If you wish to use amiibo on your Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo 2DS you will need an additional accessory to connect your amiibo to your console.
