Art Academy: Home Studio - or Art Academy: Atelier in Europe - is shaping up to be an intriguing title and potentially the most impressive entry in the series to date. There'll be a bigger touch screen to work with than at any point before, and there'll be an option to upload videos to YouTube that show your creations coming together.
Beyond that the app promises a substantial range of materials to use, paint mixing tools and those all important lessons, but there may be more to it than has been seen so far. The North American Wii U eShop page - the title is eShop-only in the region and can be pre-purchased - clearly lists amiibo as a feature of the game. Though not completely definitive, eShop listings have provided useful clues in the past for extra features.
How would amiibo work in this title? Perhaps it'll be possible to scan figures into the app's display to use as a source of inspiration, or alternatively amiibo could unlock special templates. It's hard to say, but it seems the toy range may feature in some way.
How would you like amiibo to be used in the latest Art Academy title if this listing proves accurate?
Thanks to bro2dragons for the heads up.

It'd be cool if they unlocked mini tutorials/lessons for drawing the character scanned, but it's probably more likely it'll unlock some images to display and reference while you draw.
My thoughts were similar: primarily unlocking character images you could trace... but also maybe new background music based on the character's series?
Beyond that, I couldn't really think of anything, but I also haven't played any of these games (apps?) yet, so I don't have much frame of reference.
Here's hoping every single amiibo will be compatible. Don't see why not.
Speaking of which, really, every game where customization exists via amiibo should be compatible with every amiibo (which I'm assuming Yoshi's Woolly World is doing). There's no reason why Art Academy, Splatoon, and Mario Kart 8 shouldn't be compatible with the entire Smash lineup. Same goes for Ace Combat. Heck, even Xenoblade 3D could benefit with some amiibo-exclusive cosmetic changes.
I was interested in Art Academy Sketchpad so I'll pick this up or sure.
Oh man, I'm going to have to buy it now. -_-
@EllenJMiller I really hope it will be what you suggested! Not gonna get my hopes up too much, but it would definitely be the most logical implementation.
Everyone seemed to have the same idea... O no now I have to buy more amiibo. Nintendo will have to meet the demand, otherwise they'll be the only ones losing money.
honestly i dont have too many ideas for amiibo support in this game, but i'm not a big fan of the tracing idea. i guess my best "idea" maybe could be special paint or pen tools based on the characters? like an ink splatter for the splatoon amiibo? or maybe just stamps with the characters faces? idk strange addition but im always happy to hear about new amiibo support! adds value to the hundreds of dollars worth of plastic i bought.
@Mecha_Boo
agreed with what you posted, Also maybe the Amiibo should create frames for the art work on the Mii-verse. simular to the 3ds mii-plaza balloons and themes.
Paint Shulk by numbers 😂😂😂
Wait, this game is a retail game in Europe? It's been an eShop exclusive in America since it was announced way back when (at E3 2014 if I recall correctly).
As long as they are not for unlocking content such as lessons and other stuff.
id like it if thay made them play music from the Games to play in the back ground
I looking forward to the Tutorials so i Hope the amiibo will unlock more of them.
