''' | '''Amiibo''' ({{ja|アミーボ|Amībo}}, ''amiibo'') are a line of interactive figurines available for usage with the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems. By scanning an amiibo with {{s|wikipedia|near field communication}} technology, players can receive various effects in games. For the Wii U, amiibo are scanned using the [[Wii U GamePad]]. The New Nintendo 3DS models are also natively compatible with amiibo, while older 3DS models will require an adapter to use the figurines.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry8.html Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: amiibo]</ref> While the concept of figurines using NFC technology to interact with the Wii U was previously explored with ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Rumble U}}'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' was the first game to feature the amiibo branding, acting as the debut and flagship title for the line. | ||
