One of the main characters from the Fire Emblem series. Having fought in the Mad King’s War, restored the fallen nation of Crimea, and taken on the Begnion Empire, Ike is rightly called a hero. He has the strength to back the title – his powerful blade makes him a match for any foe.

Nintendo characters come to life in new ways as amiibo™ – interactive figures that have the ability to communicate with multiple specially designed games by just touching them to the Wii U GamePad controller. Nintendo plans to release first series of amiibo™ this year alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Features:

amiibo™ can interact with compatible games when players touch them to the Wii U GamePad controller, reading character data into games and saving data to the figure.

Different compatible games will use amiibo in different ways. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to use amiibo™. Games like Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 10, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Yoshi’s Woolly World are also planned to support amiibo™.

In Super Smash Bros., players can battle alongside or against their amiibo™ characters, leveling them up in the process. They can then bring them to a friend who has a Wii U and the game to show off how they’ve trained and customized their characters.
