Touch, Watch, and Join the Game!

Discover a new way to interact with your favorite Nintendo character. When you touch the figure to the NFC touchpoint on the Wii U GamePad controller while playing, data will transfer into the game that you can use in many ways. As you play, data in your figure will update – so keep playing and create your unique amiibo! The first set of figures is for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Watch your amiibo improve in battle

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, you can transfer data from your amiibo figure directly into the game and then fight with it. During battles, your amiibo will gradually improve with additional skills and game attributes – such as increased strength and new moves. You can also add your own custom moves!
