Nintendo NFC Reader/Writer Accessory - Nintendo 3DS

Unfortunately it is not needed with the newer 3DS XL, which is what I bought it to go with. Probably my fault for not researching more. But cant hold that against the product. It works as advertised with our older 3DS devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

Bought this as a gift for Christmas. My niece loves it.

I bought the NFC Card Reader for my 3DS, and I didn’t mind that it didn’t come with the box because I just wanted the device. Its functionality is perfect! I now use the amiibo services anytime!

Use it for amibos on my 3ds! Super awesome product. Ive had a couple of times where the scanner wouldnt pair to the 3ds, but never when Ive set it on a table. Minor enough to not bother me at all.

Now we can have all of our favorite villagers in animal crossing new leaf or horizon! Works perfect!

Lately been upset that Nintendo been taking too long to these out in the US. I saw the Japan import was out and didnt feel like waiting after Nintendo said that will be ready in summer that never came out until three months later after summer is about over. So I try it out and works my US 3DS system.

Works just as intended. Came brand new and undamaged so also a plus. (Not that Ive ever had anything come in damaged before.) Using it for Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, and New Leaf.

Yes . But too expensive

Very easy to use - I have been scanning lots of Amiibos and its great to finally be able to use them on my older 3DS.

The 3DS is able to communicate with the nfc reader in that the console can tell that the nfc reader is up-to-date. The item was used and came bubble wrapped inside a prime shipping box. There’s uneven yellowing throughout the top and sides of the reader while the bottom white color remained intact. The yellowing should have been mentioned in the product’s Used Description as this is part of the condition of the item. For the aforementioned reason, I cannot give 5 stars.
