Introducing the NaMiiO: Yet Another Amiibo Emulator

NaMiiO.jpg
A new amiibo emulator called the NaMiiO has just been announced. It appears to look like and function more similarly to the MaxLander (Skylanders emulator) than it does with the Amiiqo which was the world's first amiibo emulator.

Unlike the Amiiqo, the NaMiiO has native support with Windows 7/8/10 computers and does not require the need of a NFC compatible phone. (Amiiqo can be used without the phone with the purchase of an additional cable.)

The following are the features of the NaMiiO, taken directly from their site:
・Support for Windows 7/8/10.
・No need NFC android phone.
・NFC backup system for Amiibo NFC game figures.
・Power cheat function for NFC game characters.
・USB connection for PC operation, just Plug n Play.
・Windows application software with Easily and Friendly API.
・Special Power token for character backup with unlimited time of backup/restore.
Package Included:
- NaMiiO x 1
- Power Token x 2
- Token holder x 2
- cover paper x 1
- USB cable x 1

It appears that the retail price of the NaMiiO is $65. There is only one reseller at this point, but expect more in the future. Also expect a GBAtemp in-depth review of the device once we get our hands on it.

I can't see how it is better than the N² - especially if it can only support 2 at a time.

That being said, Mac has far better character finding. Windows I have to memorize the four digit alt number for each character, but Mac actually had a more logical setup that was faster to memorize.

However it has gone downhill a lot since Snow Leopard, and I won't use an Apple product again.

It's really annoying using character map. Especially since on Macintosh I can literally just type [option+e, e] straight from the application. I don't have to launch a different app and look forever for the one character I need, and I don't need to memorize Alt codes that don't have any contextual clues. And there's no dead keys in the US layout.

I'm using US Layout, and I make use of the dead keys dude... ¬¬
Just pick "US International"

Proof of using dead keys: ä ë ï ö ü ç ó í ú á é à ì ò ù â ê (etc....)

Win+R, then type charmap and hit enter. You're welcome.

Never owned a Mac, so no. and being American, I rarely ever need special characters anyways. We already have majority of what we need on the keyboard already. For everything else, there's Google or charmap.exe

So, if I do not have an NFC enabled android device, namiio is pretty mich the only choice for amiibo fun, but one token can only hold a single amiibo?
They have a NFC reader for PCs coming out soon I think.

I like the new profiles option in the screenshots of the next version of n^2's app, I'll stick with them.

You know I always thought I'd never get into this toys to life nonsense. Then I got my son Disney Infinity 3.0 Special Edition for PS4 and since then I've become kind of obsessed with getting more figures for the game. Yesterday I bought 6 more from amazon.fr as they have a promotion on that was too good to pass up and then last night I preordered the Kylo Ren figure which releases on the 18th. After that I realized I was doing all this for myself. My son is 6, he doesnt care whether he has 2 figures or 10, as long as he can play the game.
Please help me stop this madness!
From: newly addicted Disney Infinity 3.0 owner.
I'll never understand this. Is the game that good?

I think that Skylanders and Infinity may be a bit more addicting than actually great games. But yeah that's not to say they're console versions of Candy Crush (super addicting to people and such a terrible game), but to a lesser extent.
