With amiibo, you can discover a brand new way to interact with your favorite Nintendo characters and games. When you touch the NFC contact point of your Wii U GamePad with such a character while playing certain games, the data on the chip will be transferred to the respective game and used in various ways. In addition, your character's data will be updated as you play. This is how your amiibo becomes unique!
