New Amiibo Flashcard-like object? Amiiqo.com email?

[19cookies]

The code for the Amiibo is in the game. And the game is updated before the new figures are out obviously, so you always will have unreleased Amiibos (and Skylanders/Disney infinity) available to skilled devs before they are released to the public. So you can expect Amiiqo to give its users unreleased new figures on a regular basis.
you just put the image supplied in one of the 200 slots, and voila, you have a character no one has.

Does that mean we'll be able to get Vol. 2/3/4 Happy Home Designer Amiibo Cards before they come out?

It just needs NFC, so any android phone with NFC, like my Galaxy S4 for example works with it.
I dumped my yoshi for the hell of it.

Does that mean it could be possible to install a hardmod that can emulate amiibos like amiiqo, but is installed maybe on top of the nfc reader that can be controlled with bluetooth?

what?

You mean on a gamepad/n3ds or the phone?
Why would you do either?

Neat, I am very interested in being a early adopter of this product !!

Looks like it works with amiibo, skylanders, infinity, etc.

I am wondering can you just digitally inject the data...or do you copy from the "Toys"

Do continue to post more information as it becomes available "

Are you sure it works with the other 2? Damn I've no nfc reading phones (damn iPhone lmao)

Are you saying that if I bought an Android phone capable of NFC reading that I could use any amiibo on the Wii U? Wow, that seems pretty easy though I've no clue about it.

I'd be just happy with an amiiqo-type device that does exactly what it's supposed to. Or a clone.

Yeah.

You can scan the amiibo's you own, or you can download .bin files from the intertubes(a guy on maxconsole has his up on there already), place the .bin on your phone's / folder(the "root" of the phone - this doesn't mean you need to root the phone, just for clarity.).

To put them on the thing, according to the pdf on their website, you then touché the phone to the amiiqo and select a write option in the app. That pops up a file selection window for all your .bin files to write to it.

I just done pre-ordered myself one from playmods, I hope Nintendo don't somehow break it :\

No not that, I mean something installed on top of the nfc reader that emulates amiibo so you don't have to have an amiibo on the 3ds, and can be controlled by a phone. Just like an amiiqo, but built into the 3ds.

So you want a hardmod that is connected to the NFC reader that's underneath the bottom screen of the N3DSXL?

Hardmods in general are tougher to do, but if you have seen the teardowns of the 3DS, there isn't a whole lot of extra space there to put in the NFC module, plus it would need to be powered somehow, and would need a switch/toggle to switch between banks of stored figures.

More than likely, you would have to print/construct a new external casing, and then you'd have to be extra careful not to break anything (especially the ribbon cables) inside the 3DS unit. I mean as a hobbyist project it might be fun to do "just for the heck of it" but if you mean as a cheaper method or easier method than this new unit coming out, I think you'd be out of dozens of hours of work, quite a bit in electronics, and then an increasing likelihood of a broken 3DS.

Axiogames has posted 3 videos on Dailymotion showing the Amiiqo in action.
My initial thought is, wow the unit is much smaller than I envisioned.

Obligatory unboxing video

The unit being used to read/write tags via the Android smartphone app

Video of it being used with a 3DS in Smash Bros.

Has anyone bought one of these? I'm thinking about buying it just to be a tester.

 

[Nollog]

I bought one from playmods.

yeah the hardmod idea seems silly. This can be used on both 3ds and wii u so already doubles the value in comparison.

Thanks for the info, I just checked out the youtube video and it is difficult for me to invest 80 dollars plus shipping for this.

Maybe once I see a video of this thing in action, I could be inspired to pick one up.

Lol, that sounds like my shop.
