Amiibo are bite-size figures that come equipped with NFC or near field communication technology. Make no mistake, Amiibo is still a toy line, and a very interesting one at that. Amiibo isn’t just a toy line, it’s a celebration of the protagonists and antagonists of gaming’s Golden Age, all created by Nintendo. It seems inevitable that Nintendo would smarten up and figure out a way to capitalize on the general love for the characters they’ve created over the years. Mario, Luigi, Pokémon, Samus, all are instantly recognizable to millions of gamers – old and new a like. Nintendo has long-held the most family friendly-friendly, memorable and versatile stable of characters. To Nintendo and its users, Amiibo figures are a brave attempt to grab hold of the future.
