Amiiqo Allows For All The Amiibo Content With No Collecting

 

Those who oppose the collection of multiple Amiibos to unlock content rejoice, we have a savior. Eurogamer reports the "Amiiqo" is a device that is capable of backing up the game data of an Amiibo. Officially, this is acceptable as current gen Amiibo's are only capable of storing data for one game at a time. It's unofficial use, however, will allow users the ability to download and copy the data of Amiibos they don't own online! This is a big deal because this means players will no longer have to pay for the amiibo in order to gain additional costumes, content, etc...

The price point is around $79, which is in no way cheap, but provided it goes unchallenged by Nintendo, it will pay for itself in the free content you'll get.

Of course there's a snowball's chance in hell Nintendo will let this device survive long given the recent profit storm Amiibos have generated, but I hope they'll ignore it. Frankly, the people who want to collect Amiibos will continue to do so. For the rest of us who don't want the figures, let us have this. Nintendo, you've never been big on freemium anyway, so let us have this one, please!
