I bought the NFC Reader/Writer mainly for using the Amiibo Cards in Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer.I wasn’t 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 it’s 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 didn’t 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 don’t 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 son’s 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 don’t feel like I need to guard the thing because it feels well made for the most part and he doesn’t get frustrated and wants to play with it.
Amazon Customer –
A great buy. I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to use amiibo on there 3DS, and does not want to upgrade to the NN3DSXL. Arrived 4 days after purchasing. By the time of this review almost a month had passed since buying from this seller. Weeks before the initial release. Just as expected! Japanese version. Not region locked, and works with all 3DS systems. Great quality, just as you’d expect from nintendo. The plastic feels nice and kinda similar to the side of the Wii Remote. The device includes batteries so no need to buy any. It has compatible software, like SSB3DS and ACHHD. It works closer than the recommended 20cm distance. Overall great product!

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 youngest’s doesn’t have the NFC reader and, of course, the sibling jealousy has kicked in on more than one occasion. I didn’t 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, it’s simple enough to figure out: point the RF transmitter to the back of the 3DS, turn it on, put on the Amiibo, and that’s it! My youngest was THRILLED when it worked without a hitch. She wouldn’t shut up about it all day, and – luckily for her – she also threw “thank you, dad” out there a few times.If you don’t 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.

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!

To be honest I didn’t even know that my medieval 3DS didn’t come with a NFC reader so imagine my surprise when I was trying to play New Leaf with the Hello Kitty cards. This thing is a life saver. Yes it uses batteries, but it works seamlessly with the older 3DS.

Works really well. My son has a Nintendo 3DS without the capability to read amiibo. The new 3DS and the wiiU both read information off the amiibo. He didn’t want to invest in buying a new 3DS but earning the money to buy this reader was a more achievable goal. Took him a couple of months of hard work to earn enough to buy it but now he has both his devices reading the amiibo. He synced it up to his 3DS by himself (he is 11) and it has been working without a hitch for over a month.

Glad I was able to get a hold of this product. I just purchased the new version of Metroid and the Amiibos that went with it, but I have an older 3DS that does not have the reader built in. I didn’t want to purchase a new system, so I bought this product instead. I was a little surprised that I received the non-English version of packaging since the listing also had an English version, but it still works as expected and was able to set it up without any issues. Works exactly as I needed.
