Amiibo gives life to your favourite Nintendo characters
Will Nintendo´s Amiibo stand a chance against Skylanders and Disney Infinity?
It can´t be easy to face both Acctivision´s Skylanders and Disney´s and Disney Infinity. But due the fact that Nintendo have one hell of a hot streak at the moment. They fear nothing or no one. I mean, just 6 months ago the Wii U was doomed to oblivion.
And look at Nintendo and the Wii U now. Back in black! And that´s probarly why they dare to release a product such as "Amiibo" (for Wii U and 3DS). A product that literally gives life to your favourite Nintendo characters. In technical terms it´s said to be a "near field communication (NFC) based platform".
Have no worries though. Because you don´t have to figure out what that means. Because all you need to do is to check out the video further down the page ;)
