Hey everyone! Since i know a LOT about Nintendo software and hardware i decided to make a thread that might help people! Ask all your Wii U, 3DS and amiibo related questions here and hopefully i know the answer! (Please keep in mind that i do not know everything!)

Oh one thing: I made this so that i can help people, i do not care if no one is going to ask anything here. I just want to help!

This information might come in handy before asking your question:

- I live in Europe, The Netherlands to be exact.
- Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America are very different so some questions about Club Nintendo are impossible for me to answer.

Well they feel quite soft and steady at the same time, it does have a extra thick layer of protection at the bottom so that the NFC chip stays undamaged.
 
There is one question about amiibo that I do not know as I have not tried it myself...

If I was to scan in an amiibo on Super Smash Bros or Mario Party 10 that are read/write compatible and then saved some data to that same amiibo and then scan it in on Mario Kart 8 which is just read compatible.
Would it allow me to scan the amiibo on the read compatible game?

Yes it would because read only compatible games will only check the character data. Which determines that your Mario amiibo is a Mario amiibo in-game and not a Peach amiibo! Read only games do not even touch other saved data on the amiibo so don't worry, you'll be fine!
 
What do you think Jason's house will look like in 10 years if Nintendo is still producing amiibo and he's still collecting doubles of every one?

Well i imagine his house being too small for all the amiibo he has and his house wil eventually explode. That is when it will be raining amiibo for the very first time!

I knew you were joking. dwai. ;)

I actually have 95. My second Toon Link was my most recent one. ;)

That is a lot! Omg i have 22 now xd. By the way, is there a way to snag a Dedede easily? I want one so bad but i never saw one with my own eyes!
 
Do you think the 3DS NFC amiibo reader is worth getting right now. Or should I save up money and wait till Nintendo release a smaller version of the new 3DS.

Also do you think the NFC reader will be hard to get like the adapter for the Wii U which lets you play your gamecube controller.

I do not think Nintendo would be releasing the regular sized new Nintendo 3DS outside Europe and Japan due to the XL devices selling better in NA. Also no, the NFC reader will not be rare only because of the reason that Nintendo would lose a lot of potential amiibo card buyers.

can u play happy home designer on old 3ds xl?

Yes! 100% compatibility is guaranteed! (Except for amiibo, you will have to buy a seperate NFC - Reader to use amiibo with an regular 3DS, or 3DS XL device)

How do you train amiibos in smash?

I trained my very first amiibo (Mario) by making a 8 stock match and just fought to level 50 on the Yoshi's Woolly World stage. Ever since then i use the same rules and stage when i get a amiibo but i only play the match 1 time against my new amiibo. I use my other amiibo figures to level it all the way up to 50.

Pretty basic huh?

Isn't that kind of irrelevant of Nintendo, however? Europe and Japan have both sizes available, so comparing their markets to NA's was really strange of Nintendo considering NA only has one of the sizes available. They were basically comparing two entirely different markets 0_o

Well i am talking about previous sales with the DSi models and old 3DS models. I am sorry for not being clear about that.
