The Snack World Gets NFC Figures That Aren’t Quite Amiibo

The Snack World is getting amiibo figures… or rather, figures with an NFC base, similar to how amiibos function. The four figures depict Chup, Mayone, Vincent, and Butako from the Snack World anime. These characters also made an appearance in the 3DS game The Snack World: Trejarers. [Thanks, Japanese Nintendo]

Here is a better look at each figure:

The figures will be compatible with The Snack World: Trejarers, but the functionality has not been stated.

The Snack World: Trejarers released on August 10, 2017 for Nintendo 3DS in Japan and will also release on iPhone and Android in 2018.
