Toys-to-life platform by Nintendo
Amiibo [ a] (/ə ˈ m iː b oʊ / ,ə-MEE -boh ; plural:Amiibo [ 1] ) is atoys-to-life platform byNintendo , which was launched in November 2014. It consists of a wireless communications and storage protocol for connectingfigurines to theWii U ,Nintendo 3DS ,Nintendo Switch andNintendo Switch 2 video game consoles . These figurines are similar in form and functionality to that of theSkylanders ,Disney Infinity andLego Dimensions series of toys-to-life platforms. The Amiibo platform was preannounced to potentially accommodate any form of toy, specifically including general plans for future card games.[ 2] [ 3] Amiibo usenear field communication (NFC) to interact with supportedvideo game software, potentially allowing data to be transferred in and out of games and across multiple platforms.
Amiibo functionality can be used directly with theNintendo Switch ,Nintendo Switch 2 ,Wii U , andNew Nintendo 3DS consoles by using built-in NFC readers. In addition, the rest of the 3DS hardware line can use an official NFC adapter. By September 2016, Nintendo reported that 39 million amiibo figures had been sold, along with more than 30 million amiibo cards.[ 4] By September 2022, total sales reached 77 million toys.[ 5]
Several Amiibo figurines They came up with the name in Japan, and the ‘amii’ portion comes from a little something inFrench that conveys the sentiment of friend, of playing with your friend. That’s what they’re really trying to convey with it. I think for us it sounds a little like amigo. That’s not the origin of the name, but it conveys the intent.
Toys for Bob and its parent companyActivision had offered an opportunity for Nintendo to be a partner in a new video game franchise known asSkylanders , which would useRFID -equipped character figurines and a special reader component to interact with the game itself, and could store data on the figurine itself such as the corresponding character's statistics. While Nintendo passed on the exclusivity deal, the franchise itself quickly became one of Activision's most successful franchises upon its launch as a spin-off of theSpyro the Dragon series, and also resulted in competition fromDisney Interactive Studios , who released a game with a similar concept known asDisney Infinity in 2013.[ 7] [ 8]
In March 2013, Nintendo unveiledPokémon Rumble U , the first game for theWii U to use theWii U GamePad 'snear-field communications support to enable the use of its own interactive figurines.[ 9] During an investors' meeting in May 2014, Nintendo presented a prototype of a more comprehensive figurine platform for its 3DS and Wii U consoles, which was designed so that the figurines could be used across multiple games. The new system was codenamed NFP, standing for either "Nintendo Figurine Platform" or "NFC Featured Platform", and was slated to be officially unveiled duringE3 .[ 10]
On June 10, 2014, duringE3 2014 , Nintendo officially announced the Amiibo platform, and thatSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U would be among the first games to provide features integrating with Amiibo figurines.[ 11]
In a corporate policy event after the launch of the Amiibo platform, Nintendo executiveShigeru Miyamoto addressed the platform's future by stating that the company was "now moving forward with projects that make use of NFC in a variety of unique ways. Nintendo is known as a video game company, but in fact, it is also a toy company."[ 12] [ 3]
Super Smash Bros. Amiibo toys were first released in North America on November 21, 2014, in Europe on November 28, 2014, and in Japan on December 6, 2014, along with the release ofSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U .[ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
TheSuper Mario series, featuring Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, and Toad, arrived on March 20, 2015, for both regions.[ 16]
In 2015, Nintendo began to extend the Amiibo line into new form factors; on February 27, 2015, Nintendo CEOSatoru Iwata revealed that the company had plans to release Amiibo-enabled trading cards. On April 1, 2015, Nintendo unveiledAnimal Crossing: Happy Home Designer , a spin-off in theAnimal Crossing series that utilizes cards. Nintendo also unveiled Amiibo yarn plushies as a tie-in forYoshi's Woolly World .[ 17] [ 18] [ 19]
During theE3 2015 Nintendo Direct on June 16, 2015,Activision revealedBowser andDonkey Kong Amiibo (Hammer Slam Bowser and Turbo Charge Donkey Kong) and vehicles for use inSkylanders: SuperChargers . These toys are compatible with either theSkylanders games or Amiibo-compatible games by means of a mode switch on their bases. They will work across all Nintendo platform versions ofSkylanders: SuperChargers .[ 20] [ 21] The Amiibo are also compatible with all Nintendo platform versions ofSkylanders: Imaginators .
On August 27, 2015, an Amiibo toy of the titular character from theindie video game Shovel Knight was unveiled, which unlocks content exclusive to the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game and its future installments. It is the first Amiibo toy of a non-Nintendo character that is not associated with a first-party title; previous Amiibo toys of third-party characters were associated withSuper Smash Bros. [ 22] Additionally, production and distribution of the figurine was overseen by the game's publisher,Yacht Club Games , rather than Nintendo (except in Japan where the latter is the publisher), although it is still officially marketed by Nintendo as part of the Amiibo line as a form ofbrand licensing . Explaining the arrangement, a Nintendo representative stated that "we were like, what's one thing that Nintendo could do that nobody [else] could ever do?"[ 23]
The Amiibo line forThe Legend of Zelda initially began solely with the Wolf Link figurine, which is mainly used inThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD and laterBreath of the Wild . It expanded with the 30th Anniversary collection (8-bit Link,Ocarina of Time Link,The Wind Waker Link, andThe Wind Waker Zelda), and theBreath of the Wild collection (Archer Link, Rider Link, Zelda, Bokoblin, Mipha, Daruk, Revali, Urbosa and the Guardian figurine). AtE3 2017 , Nintendo unveiled several new Amiibo figurines, including wedding-themed Mario, Peach and Bowser figurines which coincided with the launch of the Nintendo Switch gameSuper Mario Odyssey , as well as figurines ofChrom and Tiki from theFire Emblem series to tie in with the release ofFire Emblem Warriors on Switch and New 3DS systems. TwoMetroid -themed Amiibo figures released alongside the 3DS remake ofMetroid II ,Metroid: Samus Returns , and figurines released later based around the four Champions inThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . Third-party software developerBethesda Softworks announced that existing Zelda figurines would be compatible with the Nintendo Switch port ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , allowing players to obtain select Zelda items and clothing for their Dragonborn, including the Master Sword, Hylian Shield and the Champion's Tunic fromBreath of the Wild .
Collectibility and supply issues [ edit ] Upon initial launch, the Amiibo line quickly spiked in popularity, with preorders selling out before the products became available to the public. While Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata stated that Amiibo will be kept in stock, he also explained that some will be "limited-time offers which will cede their positions to new ones once they are sold out".[ 31] The rarity of certain Amiibo figurines influenced the prices held by online retailers and auctions, of which most can be seen offering select items at prices above the retail price. In Nintendo's 3rd Quarter Financial Results Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2015, Satoru Iwata expressed surprise at such online auctions that offered "premium prices" of sold out Amiibo toys.[ 32] A number of first-wave Amiibo toys with manufacturing defects were discovered and sold for notably high prices, such as aSamus figurine with cannons on both arms instead of one arm being sold oneBay forUS$2,500 , and a defect ofPrincess Peach with missing legs being sold forUS$25,100 .[ 33] [ 34] [ 35]
On April 2, 2015, when preorders were being taken for the May 29 release of theSuper Smash Bros. series Wave 4 and theSplatoon series, the US preorder processcrashed bothGameStop 's website and in-store register system.[ 36] Nintendo acknowledged these issues in early May 2015.[ 37] [ 38] Amazon forwent the entire preorder process for those waves; it instead blocked out specific time intervals on their release date during which the non-retailer exclusive Amiibo and theSuper Mario series Silver Mario Amiibo were available.[ 39] The retailer continued this practice with its exclusive release of the Palutena Amiibo as well as those released on September 11, 2015.[ 40] [ 41]
In May 2015 in the UK, a truck was stolen that contained preorders of the special edition ofSplatoon , which included a rare Inkling Squid Amiibo as a preorder bonus: the only way to obtain the figure in the UK. As a result, Nintendo lacked the stock to supply the Inkling Squid Amiibo to those who preordered, and offered Inkling Girl or Inkling Boy Amiibo instead alongside a standard edition with a £10 refund, or full refunds.[ 42] [ 43] [ 44] [ 45] [ 46] [ 47] [ 48] [ 49]
In response to the lack of certain Amiibo toys in the United States, Satoru Iwata explained on February 17, 2015, that "an ongoing labor dispute on the west coast" has delayed the "discharge of cargo over the past six months", and was the cause of the absences of certain Amiibo toys intended to be delivered before its launch in November.[ 50] Following this announcement, rarer Amiibo toys such as Wii Fit Trainer, Meta Knight, and Ike have been receiving limited re-releases in North America.[ 51] [ 52] For the US, the exclusive Best Buy release of the Dark Pit figurine, the retailer announced it would not take any preorders or online orders and the item would be limited to one per customer.[ 53] While some news sources such asKotaku came out in favour of Best Buy's practice,[ 54] alternatively in response to this (and the difficulty of acquiring previous retailer-exclusives), others, such as Brian Altano, Jose Otero, andPeer Schneider ofIGN 's Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, have encouraged American collectors to import these hard-to-find items.[ 55]
TheWii U ,New Nintendo 3DS/3DS XL and2DS XL , andNintendo Switch andSwitch 2 contain integrated NFC support, allowing their use with Amiibo. On Wii U, toys are scanned using an NFC reader contained within theWii U GamePad . Amiibo support was formally introduced to the consoles' firmware between November and December 2014; these updates added an Amiibo menu to the system settings area, allowing users to scan, register, and erase data from toys. The Nintendo Switch similarly features an NFC reader in both theJoy-Con R andPro Controller .[ 56] [ 57] [ 58] [ 59] [ 60]
A separate NFC reader accessory for the originalNintendo 3DS , 3DS XL, and2DS was released in 2015 alongsideAnimal Crossing: Happy Home Designer .[ 61] [ 62] [ 63]
Amiibo data communication [ edit ] Supported games offer one of two kinds of Amiibo compatibility; the ability to access an Amiibo toy's NFC tag and store data, and read-only recognition. Each Amiibo toy largely corresponds to a specific game that can access its storage space, though some may have multiple games that can use it. However, each Amiibo toy can only store data from one compatible game at a time, meaning data must be deleted to use it with a different title. For example, aMario Amiibo figurine containing data fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U must have the data for that game deleted to store data fromMario Party 10 .[ 64] Many games offer compatibility with specific Amiibo toys on a read-only basis, allowing for additional content to be unlocked in that game. For example, using certain figurines withMario Kart 8 orMario Kart 8 Deluxe unlocksMii costumes based on the corresponding character. Multiple variations of the same character offer the same compatibility, although special variations can unlock unique content with specific games.[ 65] Existing Wii U and 3DS games can receive updates for Amiibo functionality.[ 66] Due to their co-development effort onSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U ,Bandai Namco Entertainment were the first third-party publishers to embrace the Amiibo concept in some of their own games.[ 67]
The following list features all known NFC items branded under Amiibo, originally produced in the form of character figurines as of 2014, then cards as of 2015, and other types in the future. Nintendo designed all Amiibo characters to be cross-compatible with all games that support specific Amiibo characters, regardless of whichever model line these characters belong to; for example, Mario figurines from both theSuper Smash Bros. andSuper Mario series have the same functionality.[ 68] Yoshi 's line are soft dolls instead of hard plastic figurines.
There are currently233 Amiibo figurines,3 Amiibo card series, and21 noted variants on this list.
