Nintendo NFC Reader/Writer Accessory - Nintendo 3DS

Seems to do exactly what the kids needed it to. Price on Amazon was the best at holiday time compared to stores. I like that it is compact in size.

Allows me to use ammibo without having to buy a new 2ds xl or new 3ds to use ammibo it is excellent takes two aa bateries if you have a rechargable battery and charger it works great

All three of my kids have a Nintendo 3DS XL, primarily due to trickle-down or saving up their allowance money for several months. But my youngests doesnt have the NFC reader and, of course, the sibling jealousy has kicked in on more than one occasion. I didnt even know that these separate NFC readers existed until I got an e-mail from one of those one-sale-a day sites. For the price, I jumped on this opportunity. Even though the instructions are completely in Japanese, its simple enough to figure out: point the RF transmitter to the back of the 3DS, turn it on, put on the Amiibo, and thats it! My youngest was THRILLED when it worked without a hitch. She wouldnt shut up about it all day, and - luckily for her - she also threw thank you, dad out there a few times. If you dont have the New Nintendo 3DS XL but you want Amiibo functionality, this is a much better alternative than shelling out for an entirely new 3DS XL.

Bought this as a gift for Christmas. My niece loves it.

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.

Bought this for my daughter who loves the Amiibos and she was so excited to be able to use them on her 3DSXL as well as her WiiU!

Wasnt sure exactly what this was supposed to do, but I bought it for the Amiibo cards I ordered which go along with Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. Simple to use.

Works great and its super light. Its also relatively small which is great for travel. The packaging has easy-to-follow instructions and it reads amiibo quickly and clearly!

For people like me who dont want to invest in a new 3DS, this works perfectly for games that support Amiibos. I bought it for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and havent come across any issues. Like other Nintendo accessories, this was cheaper to buy as an import from Japan. Will work regardless of the region of your 3DS.

NFC for the 3DS readers are getting harder and harder to find for those that have the old 3DS. If you are considering getting this, I would go ahead and purchase it before the price goes up even further. I purchased mine used and it works perfectly.
