Brand new and just in time for the holiday season are Nintendo’s new amiibo (Wii U compatible). The best part about these video game figurines is that you don’t need to buy a portal or system upgrade to use them- just the figurines. This cuts the cost and makes them more accessible to everyone. Buy only the ones you want, customize them in the games, and interact the way you want to. This is new experience for Nintendo fans in the game play and toys coming to life area, joining the likes of Skylanders and Disney Infinity. These amiibo characters are ONLY Nintendo, and they interact with Wii U games and across multiple games (like the relatively new Super Smash Brothers). The figures retail for about $15 each, and you can collect many of your favorite characters now.
Check out this super quick video- basic ins and outs of the game and figures.
I just have to say that I love that Mario is still around. I remember playing the original Mario games. (yeah, don’t do that age math). The amiibo characters look like so much fun!
