Check out amiibo Tap: the Wii U app that uses figures as retro demos

30 games

Recommended Videos

Some time ago Nintendo unveiled amiibo Tap, a new app that would allow you to play demos from classic retro games by touching a figure to the Wii U GamePad. It doesn’t seem like certain figures will line up with specific games, as the choice will be random, and will give you three minutes to play.

Since it’s out in Japan today, we have a closer look at some footage on Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube channel. Check below for the full listing of games. It will drop overseas later this year, but Europe specifically will be getting it on April 30.
