Since the amiibo figures use NFC, how plausible would it be to use a phone to read the NFC tag and then rewrite it to a plain NFC tag? I don't know too much about nfc but the Wii u uses a broadcomm chip of some sort. I guess it may even be possible to use HCE on an android device to use your phone directly without programming a tag. I guess nobody knows for sure at the moment but I find it interesting to think about.

Especially unencrypted, plain text, or otherwise. That would be wishing for a miracle. I think since the Wii and DS days they have hired a proper security team for things like this.

For me it's possible.
you need a reprogrammable nfc sensors...then copy from a nfc sensors data of amiibo on the reprogrammable then use the reprogrammable sensors to get all character...
is only a project and I suppose it works...

even if its encrypted, a phone can't just clone it? like magnetic cards, if you have the equipment you just have to copy into another....

This one guy was making good progress but Activision would have sued the pants off him.


Only if he was dumb and didn't practice safe internet anonymity... They can't sue you if they don't know who you are in real life.

If these are like the pokemon rumble figures, they are rewritable from the wiiu itself. When you buy upgrades for the rumble nfc figures in game it saves the new data back to the figure.
