These character figures are not only fun to touch and look at, but are also connected to the game. If you touch the Amiibo on the bottom screen of the Wii U GamePad or New Nintendo 3DS while playing compatible software, various in-game experiences will be created. For example, in “Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,” which is the first compatible software, you can make amiibo appear during the game and have them fight in place of you. The characters you load grow as you fight, increase their attack power and defense power, learn various tactics, and customize their special moves.
