Nintendo announces amiibo figures
New Interactive figures to be released this year
At E3 today, Nintendo has revealed interactive figures called “amiibo,” scheduled to arrive this year, that can be used with multiple games, bringing a touch of Nintendo to the toys-to-life category.
Figures of Nintendo characters can interact with multiple future Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games in unique new ways. Fans can buy and collect amiibo, to bring them closer to the games and characters they love.
Nintendo will launch amiibo with around 10 figures. More will be launched during the holiday season and throughout 2015. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to support amiibo. Other games that will support amiibo include Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi’s Woolly World, with more to come.
A new NFC reader/writer being designed for Nintendo 3DS is scheduled to launch in 2015.
