Nintendo NFC Reader/Writer Accessory - Nintendo 3DS

Needed for amibos. My daughter uses it. Works fine.

Love it

Works really well. My son has a Nintendo 3DS without the capability to read amiibo. The new 3DS and the wiiU both read information off the amiibo. He didnt want to invest in buying a new 3DS but earning the money to buy this reader was a more achievable goal. Took him a couple of months of hard work to earn enough to buy it but now he has both his devices reading the amiibo. He synced it up to his 3DS by himself (he is 11) and it has been working without a hitch for over a month.

Works great with my Kirby Amiibo in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It works with 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS. My only complaint is that at times its a little slow at reading the Amiibo, but aside from that its really good. The batteries were a great addition and came in handy. If you have an Amiibo but not a New Nintendo 3DS or a Wii U, I highly recommend this.

Works great and its super light. Its also relatively small which is great for travel. The packaging has easy-to-follow instructions and it reads amiibo quickly and clearly!

As a note I bought this for my brother and some of this will be his feedback. He wanted NFC but didnt want to have to buy a new 3DS for it. This works perfectly for that. The only downside Id say is that it uses IR so the 3DS IR has to point directly at it. Id recommend putting the 3DS/reader down on a table or something to read the amiibos.

All three of my kids have a Nintendo 3DS XL, primarily due to trickle-down or saving up their allowance money for several months. But my youngests doesnt have the NFC reader and, of course, the sibling jealousy has kicked in on more than one occasion. I didnt even know that these separate NFC readers existed until I got an e-mail from one of those one-sale-a day sites. For the price, I jumped on this opportunity. Even though the instructions are completely in Japanese, its simple enough to figure out: point the RF transmitter to the back of the 3DS, turn it on, put on the Amiibo, and thats it! My youngest was THRILLED when it worked without a hitch. She wouldnt shut up about it all day, and - luckily for her - she also threw thank you, dad out there a few times. If you dont have the New Nintendo 3DS XL but you want Amiibo functionality, this is a much better alternative than shelling out for an entirely new 3DS XL.

It works!

it was a gift

Yes . But too expensive
