    I just ordered an amiibo emulator off AliExpress.

    My wife is like “isn’t that cheating” and I’m like “yeah, but it’s pay-to-play, so I’m okay with that”.

    It’s less cheating than a game genie…

        Yes. Some phones can even be used to make NFC tags. You can buy blank tags and grab bin files and write them. I have tags for max level Wolf Link and Majora’s Mask items for BoTW.

        Not sure if the phone can emulate being an NFC tag, but it can program the NTAG215 stickers used by amiibo

      I bought blank NFC tokens that you can flash any amibo to from your phone via an app. Worked great raining down chests of meat on links head in BOTW lol.

      Cool! Always wondered if a fun solution were ever found for the Monster Rancher PS games where you’d put arbitrary CDs/DVDs in to see what monster was generated.

          It felt like fucking magic at the time lmao, and the games were legitimately fun and interesting even without the ~best gimmick of all time involved.

          Could enjoy the games pretty entirely even with zero discs to scan. But the magic disc lottery, plus access to tons of otherwise unavailable entire species of monster, plus breeding that opens up from there 🤌
