Link amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Collection

Amiibo is Nintendo's toy platform. It consists of a wireless communication and storage protocol for connecting toys to the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch video game consoles. The platform was launched in November 2014 in the form of system software updates and a series of Amiibo-enabled figures. These figures are similar in form and functionality to those in the Skylanders and Disney Infinity toy series. The Amiibo platform has been announced to accommodate potentially any form of toy, particularly the overall plans for future card games. These toys use Near Field Communication (NFC) to interact with the software of supported video games. This may allow data to be transferred in and out of games and across multiple platforms.

Amiibo functionality can be used directly with Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and New Nintendo 3DS consoles thanks to the built-in NFC readers. Additionally, other 3DS hardware can use an official NFC adapter. As of September 2016, Nintendo said it had sold 39 million Amiibo toys and more than 30 million Amiibo cards.
