Nintendo on Tuesday said it is adding real-world game figures to Wii U play to help boost the popularity of its console, which has lagged rivals in the market. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said "amiibo" game pieces embedded with computer chips to swap data with Wii U tablet controllers would debut in the "Mario Smash Brothers" game later this year. The Japan-based video game stalwart planned to add amiibo characters to a variety of its games, including "Mario Kart." The move allows players to take a favored toy or action figure with the embedded hardware and insert that character into the video game.
