The Nintendo Amiibo Super Smash Bros Fox figure for the Nintendo Wii U was released by Nintendo on 22/11/2014, available for the Nintendo Wii U. At first, the Wii U had NFC capabilities; however, Nintendo had not announced its intentions for them. Now it is clear that the purpose of the Wii U GamePad is to connect with games through figures. Amiibo is similar to Skylanders and Infinity, but with Nintendo characters. These are figures that connect to the game via NFC. Unlike other similar ideas, Amiibo works with many games, not just one predefined title, and also supports the 3DS.

Super Smash Bros is one of the most anticipated games for the Wii U, with Nintendo promoting it heavily. One of the surprises was the ability to play with your Mii in the game. The game supports Amiibo, and you can enter your Mii into it, turning it into a character you control. The character's style is determined by the game, allowing the Mii to be transformed into a fighter, swordsman, or shooter, each with specific abilities you can choose, making it the most customizable character in the game. In addition, in a short anime cinematic scene, Nintendo also revealed Lady Palutena from Kid Icarus as a playable character.
