As teased in the recent Direct, you can use it with the Switch
Recently, Nintendo shared more information about Super Nintendo World via a physical walking tour with Mario’s father: Shigeru Miyamoto. It was breathtaking! Go check it out.
Back? Well, you may have noticed that at one point in the video, Nintendo teased the Power-Up Bands (which are basically a form of Magic Bands from Disney parks) and a form of Switch functionality. Well, thanks to a new landing site, we now know a little more about how it will all work.
According to the website, amiibo will match the character on the band itself. The above red ribbon with the red “M” for Mario will therefore become a “Mario amiibo”. Other groups correspond to Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad and Yoshi. The straps are used directly with the Switch NFC point on the Joy-Con or the Pro Controller, but “are not compatible with the 3DS or Wii U.”
Of course, the groups will also work in the park as a kind of conservation mechanism that varies with different “activities”. I wonder how they will play in the American version of the park with long rows.
