Use Amiibo's to Play NES & SNES Games

In the latest Nintendo financial report, it has been revealed that as well as making card-amiibo's soon, they are going to release a free-to-download Wii U app which allows you to play NES and SNES games!

For a limited time.

According to the report, scanning an amiibo will allow you to play a 'highlighted scene' of retro games - scanning multiple times will allow you to play more than one scene. It will be time limited, so you won't be able to play the entire game.

In other amiibo news, Nintendo are going to be releasing an NFS adaptor for older 3DS consoles, allowing you to scan amiibo into games such as Super Smash Bros.. The New Nintendo 3DS has an NFS reader built-in, so won't require it.
