If you’re someone who has upgraded to a New Nintendo 3DS already, you can skip this post. No, really, just move along. You can already tap your amiibo on the handheld and have it appear in-game via the built-in NFC reader.
For the rest of us, how are we going to get our favorite fighter into the fracas in Super Smash Bros.? Well, turns out the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer attachment has popped up for pre-order in North America. Say what? Yes indeed, this little white puck will enable you to wirelessly beam your amiibo right into your 3DS via infrared port.
Requiring only two AA batteries, the preorder is set at $29.00 and will be released on September 25th.
