Nintendo will release its first set of NFC-enabled Amiibo figurines next month

Nintendo will release its first set of video game Amiibo toys on November 21 in the US, before rolling out them across Europe on November 28. A second wave will arrive in December. The detailed miniatures are fitted with near field communication (NFC) chips, which means players can use them to influence any Amiibo-supported video game on their Nintendo Wii U or Nintendo 3DS consoles.
