Amiibo (stylized as amiibo) is an upcoming line of near field communication-based figurines used as add-ons to games with amiibo compatibility. The line is set to launch on November 21, 2014 in North America, the same day as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the first amiibo-compatible game, and it will launch in Europe on November 28, 2014. To use the figures, players must have downloaded System Update 5.3.0 for their Wii U system.

amiibo can be used with Wii U software by placing a figure on the near-field communicator built into the Wii U GamePad under the D-pad. A peripheral for the Nintendo 3DS, a circular white platform, has also been stated to be released in 2015 that will wirelessly connect to the 3DS to send and receive data; the new Nintendo 3DS, however, will feature a built in near-field communicator on the bottom touch-screen. amiibo will come with data already on them, but data can also be written on them by the hardware. Several figures will be compatible with multiple games; for example, the Mario figure made for Super Smash Bros. can also be used with Mario Kart 8 and Mario Party 10.[1] Multiple games can read an amiibo's data, while only one game's data can be written to the figure.[2]

Boxart for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 		Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U Once an amiibo is scanned in the game, the player is able to play both as them or against them. They are referred as Figure Players (shortened as FP) in-game. The player can customize their power, defense and speed values at their own will with the obtained custom parts. By playing as FPs, they may grow by level (which caps at 50) and change their strategy depending what their opponents usually do. During fights, they may obtain gifts such as Trophies and Gold, which are given to the player. While in the Wii U version they can be used as soon as the game is released, there is an update planned for the 3DS version.[4] This game both reads and writes data on the amiibo.
