Important information

Experience classic NES and Super NES games with amiibo Touch & Play: Nintendo Classics Highlights, exclusively for Wii U! Using the power of amiibo, this free download opens up a world of 8 and 16-bit Nintendo demos, including Super Mario World, F-ZERO, The Legend of Zelda and many more!

Touch your amiibo to the Wii U GamePad to unlock a demo – each is limited to three minutes, and tapping the same amiibo to the GamePad changes the scene, with up to 10 scenes to play per title. You can find out how to play if you’re unfamiliar with the game, and when enough just isn’t enough, you can press the Nintendo eShop button to buy the complete game. So, whether stealing first place in Super Mario Kart, sucking up enemies in Kirby’s Adventure, or battling the Space Pirates in Metroid, there’s a Nintendo highlight for everyone!

See Featured Games for a full rundown of titles.
