amiibo Charizard (Super Smash Bros. series)

These character figures are not only fun to touch and look at, but also connect to the game. While playing compatible software, touching an amiibo to the Wii U GamePad or the bottom screen of the New Nintendo 3DS creates a variety of in-game experiences. For example, in the first compatible software, "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U," you can have an amiibo appear in the game and fight in your place. The characters you load will grow as you fight, increasing their attack and defense power, learning various tactics, and even customizing their special moves.
