Aim the sphere where you want the amiibo item to be, then hold the amiibo figure over the right control stick to scan it. The amiibo item will appear there.

Are fake Amiibo cards illegal?

Fake amiibos won`t hurt your backup or console.

Which amiibos are discontinued? ›

Only a few weeks after the launch of the first wave of Amiibo Figurines, it was discovered that certain Amiibo were discontinued because of character popularity, prompting questions concerning Amiibo rarity. From the first wave, Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are no longer being stocked on store shelves.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, players can battle against amiibo fighters, team up with them, or send them in against your friends' amiibo fighters in a multiplayer battle. Players do not have direct control over their amiibo fighters in-game.

If the amiibo has been registered to a different user, you will need to reset the amiibo data before you can register it. (This will not affect any extra content the other user has already received from the amiibo.)

The figures are fun to collect, as they are faithful representations of beloved video game characters. But they are also functional. With embedded tech, amiibo toys can interact with supported video games, allowing data to transfer to and from gaming systems, including Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and the New Nintendo 3DS.

From the HOME Menu, select System Settings, then scroll down the menu on the left-hand side and select amiibo. Select Register Owner and Nickname. Hold an amiibo figure to the NFC touchpoint.
