NintendoLife reports that Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DSwill today receive an update tied to amiibo functionality.

The update is designed for the New 3DS and New 3DS XL, both handhelds with NFC-reading capability. Nintendo’s amiibo figures are driven by NFC technology.

It’s assumed the amiibo figures will function much like they do on the Wii U version of the game.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
