Dein amiibo, dein Held! Wenn du den NFC-Kontaktpunkt des Wii U GamePads, New Nintendo 3DS oder New Nintendo 3DS XL in einem kompatiblen Spiel mit einer amiibo-Figur berührst, kannst du überraschende Funktionen entdecken. Amiibo haben abhängig vom jeweiligen Spiel verschiedene Effekte: Du kannst Modi, Waffen oder Charakteranpassungen freischalten oder die Fähigkeiten deiner amiibo-Figur verbessern, um sie zu einem perfekten Partner oder starken Gegner zu machen. Ausserdem werden die Daten deiner Figur beim Spielen aktualisiert. So wird dein amiibo einzigartig! Eine amiibo-Figur kann in mehreren Spielen verwendet werden. So erreichen deine Lieblingstitel ein ganz neues Level des Spielvergnügens. Selbst wenn du Spieldaten aus zum Beispiel Super Smash Bros. auf deiner amiibo-Figur gespeichert hast, kannst du sie verwenden, um Inhalte in Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors und anderen Titeln freizuschalten. In einigen Titeln ist es möglich, bestimmte Daten von einer amiibo-Figur einzulesen und darauf zu speichern. In anderen Spielen wiederum kannst du ausschliesslich Daten von einem amiibo einlesen. Zum Beispiel kannst du, wenn du mit einem amiibo den NFC-Kontaktpunkt berührst, diesen Charakter oder einige seiner Eigenschaften ins Spiel übernehmen. Features: • Die amiibo interagieren mit kompatiblen Spielen, wenn sie mit dem NFC-Kontaktpunkt in Berührung kommen. Auf diese Weise werden einerseits auf der Figur gespeicherte Daten ins Spiel übertragen, andererseits gelangen Informationen aus dem Spiel auf die Figur. • Die verschiedenen kompatiblen Spiele nutzen die Möglichkeiten der amiibo in unterschiedlicher Weise. • Die Spieler haben die Wahl, ob sie sich mit ihren amiibo-Charakteren verbünden oder im Wettstreit gegen sie antreten möchten. So oder so lassen sich die Figuren im Laufe der Zeit weiterentwickeln. Wer möchte, kann seinen Freunden die Fortschritte zeigen.

An exuberant ode to play and the epic story of a company that has redefined it--their quirky beginnings, their singular ethos, their endlessly innovative leaders and developers, their massive cultural impact, and most of all the video games themselves, which have inspired joy and creativity in millions What magical mushroom could have turned an unassuming playing card company, founded in Kyoto in 1889--whose tile cards were closely associated with gambling and Japan's criminal underworld--into one of the dominant cultural forces of the 21st century, with characters as memorable as any from the Disney or Marvel universes? A lifelong gamer and a renowned video games journalist, Keza MacDonald digs down to Nintendo's experimental roots, tracking the company's rise with each new revolutionary product and exploring the driving force of these creative triumphs (and occasional failures!): Nintendo's willingness to take risks, to place long-term goals over short-term profits. Leaping from game to game, Super Nintendo tells the remarkable story of the people who brought us Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and more--not to mention the SNES, N64, Gameboy, Wii, Switch and a host of other wacky gizmos, from the Power Glove to the Rumble Pack to Nintendo Labo--and charts the delights they've offered over the decades. MacDonald draws on private interviews with the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario who continues to leave his stamp on the company, and even a recent trip to the secretive Nintendo HQ--making her one of the few Western journalists ever to set foot inside the building. A carousel of wonders, Super Nintendo whisks you back to the couch in the den, a controller in your hands for the very first time, staring up at a screen of infinite possibilities.
