Nintendo is joining the party late but better than never. Amiibos are figures that you put on the square piece of the game pad on the WiiU or the NFC connector for 3DS and/or the the bottom screen for the new 3DS. Amiibos are essentially ai controlled figures that respond to what you do. The most popular example for these amiibos would be Smash Bros for WiiU and 3DS. In Smash, when you play with amiibos, you fight them and level them up. They learn from your mistakes and attacks. For example if you jump and attack from below repetitively , he will eventually predict that you'll go in the air and he will try to hit you in the air(even when you're not there they really do learn from you) (I fell for that alot). These are much more than computers; they will obliterate if you don't outsmart them in Smash (these amiibos go up to level 50 in Smash). While amiibos are great to have, they have limits. So for example, a game like Mario Kart 8 will use amiibos only as read-only, which means it unlocks additional content. However, in a game like Mario Party 10 or Smash, it is a read-write, where it is a part of the game but is not needed(so dont worry about buying it). An Amiibo can only be in one read-write, so if you have a Luigi amiibo and it is a part of Smash and you want it to be a part of Mario Party 10, you must delete your amiibo's Smash data (it wont affect your game). So if you have a amiibo that is a part of Mario Party 10, which is a read-write, you can put it on Mario Kart 8 and it will unlock the additional content, or in that case, costumes. Amiibos will have been widely customized by many of the fans(like the ones below). Amiibos are so far avilable for ,new Fire Emblem 3DS(working title)read-write,Smash bros read-write,Mario party 10 read-write,mario kart 8 read-only, hyrule warriors read-only, By Lascelles Morrison
