    Sprung for one of these when I realized my daughter's 3DS was an older model that didn't have the Amiibo reader built in. I was impressed by how easy it was to set up. Really didn't need to do anything other than turn it on, and it recognizes and pairs with your DS on its own.

    My son has an ever growing collection of Amiibo that he uses with the WII U. Since they weren't compatible with his 3DS XL, I purchased this adapter. It works perfectly and my son is happy!

    Really didn't want to by a New 3DS as a like my XL just fine and don't really care about the new features.....but I have been collecting a few Amiibos and wanted to try them with Smash on the 3DS. Got this on clearance thru the website and hey for $10 you can't go wrong

    My son really wanted to play some of the Amiibo games on his DS since he had been playing with them on his WiiU. I found this thing to be easily stored, used and great for my 8 year Olds needs!

    The disc does what it is supposed to do bring some Amibos into some games. The bigger question is how useful is it. The actual Amibo figure line are nice collectibles but they have limited functionality as far as adding enjoyment to any game I have played on the 3DS at least.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Amiibo support is pretty abysmal on the 3DS, but when it is supported, this does the job! Saves you from having to upgrade to a N3DS anyway.

    If you don't have the 'New' 3DS, then this is perfect for Amiibo interactions with the standard 3DS. It is inexpensive and easy to use.

    This device allows owners of older 3DS and 3DS XL units to use amiibo. It is a mini NFC reader and transmitter. It works flawlessly.

    Simply turn it on and launch an amiibo compatible game and you are free to start syncing amiibos! Great price for a good quality.
