Amiibo is Nintendo's NFC figurine and card program that works across multiple games. Amiibo work natively with the Nintendo Wii U via the NFC reader in the Wii U GamePad and the New Nintendo 3DS. In 2015, Nintendo will release an accessory for the original Nintendo 3DS that lets players use Amiibo on it as well.
The concept of a helpless female character in desperate need of rescuing by the protagonist, in most cases from a villain, or from a form of impending doom.
Abilities or objects that can only be obtained by killing a god or if gods themselves offer them to a character.
This tag is for all games and characters that deal in the concept of gods, demigods, half-gods and the like.
Games that feature characters that are in some instances rendered as special or custom Miis that are otherwise depicted in a non-Mii fashion.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.
Ability to see a character's body in mirrors, water, or other surfaces.
Female characters who are designed with highly idealized figures and proportions, outfits that are revealing and/or form-fitting, and prone to ending up in completely over-the-top poses designed to show off their bodies.
In fighting games, some characters have special moves that are counterattacks. In order for the attack to work, the player must enter the proper command and then allow for the opponent to strike when the player's character is in the move's "wait" position.
Zoning Characters (also called Keepaway Characters) is an archetype that use long range attacks to the control space in fighting games.
