Bill Trinen explains that you can now fulfill your childhood dream of seeing which of your toys would win in a battle.

Amiibo toys are small toy figures of famous Nintendo characters. When placed on the Wii U gamepad (and later on the 3DS pad), the figures come to life. Games compatible include Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers 4, and Mario Party 10.

The fight scene begins with Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo, and Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Ninttendo of America, actually fighting, anime style. Iwata and Reggie then whip out Wii U controllers and start as themselves battling in Super Smash Bros.

This reveals that Mii’s are now in the game, much like in Mario Kart 8.

The intro also reveals that there is Amiibo capability in Super Smash Bros Wii U, because Satoru brings out a Mario Amiibo and brings him into the game. This will make 2 games Amiibo compatable, the second being Mario Party 10.

The trailer shows of the premise of the game. You shoot ink to cover parts of the map. The more area you cover, the more area you can dive in as a squid, and if you finish with the most covered, you win. Other weapons are shown off, such as a paint roller, rocket launcher, and a paint grenade.

How about a little, Divine Intervention?
