Nintendo amiibo figures bring collecting and gaming together. These small NFC figures can unlock extra content, items, missions or customisation options in compatible software. The models also vary considerably in character, platform support and how they can be used. If you buy based only on the design or price, it’s easy to overlook important details.
An amiibo figure won’t automatically work with every Nintendo game. It depends on whether the game supports that particular figure and what features it offers. On Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, you hold the figure against the console’s or controller’s NFC point. Compatible Wii U and 3DS games have their own requirements.
Especially when buying an NFC figure for Nintendo Switch or an amiibo for Switch 2, check the official compatibility information for the game in question. “Compatible” doesn’t necessarily mean that every game offers all the additional features listed.
Nintendo amiibo don’t need batteries or a charging port. The integrated NFC chip is passive and is activated when it comes into contact with a suitable reader. So be wary of claims about automatic updates, permanent online features or standalone play.
The figure can store or update data in selected games. However, it has no power supply of its own or separate firmware. The specific features depend on the compatible software.
amiibo figures are made from painted plastic and may have small detachable or delicate parts. They’re therefore not suitable for children under three. For children aged three and over, adult supervision may be advisable, depending on how the figure is used. Keep it out of water and away from mouths, and don’t store it in places that are very hot or damp.
For most collectors, the design is the most important consideration. A Mario amiibo is a great fit for fans of the classic Super Mario series, while a Rosalina & Luma amiibo or a figure from Super Mario Bros. Wonder may appeal to different collecting interests. If you’re buying a figure as a gift, consider the recipient’s favourite game or character.
With an amiibo collectible figure, it’s also worth checking whether it features a single character or a duo. Captain Toad & Talking Flower, Mario & Luma, and Poplin & Prince Florian each bring several figures or characters together in one design.
Before buying, check which systems are specifically listed:
Platform information is a technical selection criterion, not a guarantee that every game will offer the same content.
Figures come in different sizes. According to the product details, the Captain Toad & Talking Flower model measures around 19 × 7.1 × 13.2 cm and weighs approximately 230 g. Rosalina & Luma is listed as measuring around 22 × 11 × 18 cm and weighing approximately 300 g. These dimensions are worth considering when choosing a display cabinet or shelf, or planning how to store the figure during delivery.
For long-term display, choose a dry, dust-free spot away from direct sunlight. Painted surfaces can be damaged by rubbing, moisture or frequent handling. The NFC feature doesn’t need a power supply, so there are no ongoing costs for batteries or charging.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
For Wii U, 3DS and 2DS, check the relevant hardware requirements in advance. Some 3DS and 2DS models require an NFC Reader/Writer.
An amiibo figure contains a passive NFC chip. When you place it on the NFC reader of a compatible Nintendo console or controller, the game reads or writes the data it needs. No batteries are required. The rewards or features available depend on the game.
If stored carefully in a dry place, amiibo figures can last a long time as collectibles. Painted surfaces and small details are usually the most delicate parts. Moisture, high temperatures, direct sunlight and frequent handling can affect their appearance. The NFC chip doesn’t need regular maintenance or a power supply.
It depends on the model and software support. Some figures, such as Rosalina & Luma, are listed as compatible with Switch, Switch 2, Wii U and 3DS. Other models are listed only for Switch and Switch 2. Before you buy, check both the platform information for the figure and the compatibility details for the specific game.
