Nintendo NFC Reader/Writer Accessory - Nintendo 3DS

Arrived early. Granddaughter was so excited, set it up and began playing immediately.

Yes . But too expensive

I recommend this to people like me that dont want to buy a New Nintnedo 3ds, but still want to use amiibos. I used my amiibos for Fire Emblem Fates just in case anyone was wondering

Does exactly what I needed it to and it got to me so fast.

it works.

I bought the NFC Reader/Writer mainly for using the Amiibo Cards in Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. I wasnt really sure what to expect from it and actually was a little skeptical at first. New gadgets often bring that out in me anyway. The actual product is shaped like a small hockey puck, is fairly small and light weight. Despite its size and weight the actual unit feels well made and quite sturdy. By sturdy I mean it could probably live through some minor bumps and fumbles from your kiddo accidentally dropping it on the table from a short distance or even rolling across the table onto the carpeted floor (which all occurred courtesy of my 7-year old). The unit runs off of 2 AA Batteries which are included. The BEST thing is that the batteries are super easy to install - I didnt need to find a tiny screwdriver to loosen tiny screws to reach the battery door! Nope - I could just pop that thing open and get on with the gaming. I dont have any kids younger than 7 here so access to the batteries is not an issue in my household, but may be something to think about if you do. Syncing it to my 3DS was easy, like seriously push button easy and go. So far I have not had any issues with the unit and it has taken minor hits and falls to boot. The size is great because it easily fits in my sons 3DS Carrier with his handheld, cord and some games without issue. Bonus is that he can easily use it himself, it turns itself off after 5 mins of inactivity in case he forgets so no battery drainage, I dont feel like I need to guard the thing because it feels well made for the most part and he doesnt get frustrated and wants to play with it.

I was a bit concerned by the reviews stating that they’d received faulty or used packages, but mine came brand new in the box and works beautifully.

Once my granddaughter learned how to use it now she likes 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!

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.
