Nintendo planning NES and SNES trials for amiibo

Nintendo will be doing something a bit different with amiibo later this year. During its latest financial results briefing, the company revealed plans to incorporate NES and SNES titles with the figures.

amiibo owners will be able to scan amiibo, which will then allow them to experience “famous scenes” of different NES and SNES games on Wii U. There are play time limits, however – similar to what’s offered in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Nintendo compares this to being able to switch out carts on a real console rapid fire.

Note that scene selections will be rotated, and you won’t be able to play an entire game for free. The functionality will be introduced in the first half of this year.
