Nintendo NFC Reader/Writer Accessory - Nintendo 3DS

For pre- near field communication devices like older 3ds. Must have for amiibos to work

I have been considering purchasing an New 3DS XL just for the amiibo capabilities but this was a way to have the features without requiring a whole new system. (I still might get the new system at some point) but my current 3DS XL functions perfectly)

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

I bought this a year ago and it’s still working with the same battery and has no problems. If you can’t find it in stores like me this is definitely the way to go.

It works perfectly! I dont have one of the new 3DSs so using amiibos is out of the question without this, but it connects no problemand reads/ writes without a problem!

It was for the kids. They like it.

Works great with my US 3DS, so this Japanese release one is not region locked just like the amiibo themselves. Right now the only game it is useful for is my Smash Bros game. Hopefully there will be more titles to come! Im looking forward to getting the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

There were a lot of questions about compatibility I had to do a lot of googling about before pulling the trigger. If someone had taken the more common questions and added the answers to the description this would have been a no-brainer. If you plan on keep your older xDS hardware around and use amiibos then you need this. Luckily the NEW 3DSes and the soon to be released NEW 2DS have this function built in.

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!

Im so glad this gadget exists that I dont have to buy the upgraded 3DS. If you want to use amiibos for your 3DS xl now you can.
