>I have no idea how you use these and it's too late to ask nowShameful gaming confession thread
>>729185594I'm mostly buying the Switch 2 cause I missed out on that era and I don't want to be left behind.
You scan them on the controller to unlock rewards and extra features.
>>729185594Why not just pirate the amiibos? you can get 100 of the fuckers for just 30 dabloons and you can do it on an Iphone.
>>729185837Like what? What happens if the amiibo was released after the game came out? Does it not work?
I didn't beat Ballos in Cave Story.
>>729185594The NFC reader is built on the right joystick.
>>729186059But what's the point of it? Does it actually impact your game at all?
>>729185931If it's something like BOTW it gives you outfits from earlier games. Non-Zelda amiibo give you generic rewards like food or weapons.
>>729185931Each game with amiibo compatibility has a specific screen you go to in order to scan the amiibo in question. Most of them just look at the type of the amiibo: some look for a specific model, while others will recognize the character. For example, there's a Smash Bros series and Mario series version of Luigi, but games will recognize both as a Luigi figure. A select few games let you write data to the amiibo itself which it can then read when doing the scan, such as Smash Bros or the recently released Kirby Air Riders ones that save CPU levels that you can load as an ingame opponent. Usually games will just give you a little reward, like a costume for scanning a specific figure. Games with rewards often let you scan a certain number of random amiibo daily for more currency/consumables, so most amiibo with just a single purpose can still do something in other games.
>>729186834So you have to do your homework on the different games and amiibos and their interactions with one another? Is it actually worth it?
OP is either clinically retarded or trolling and if you cant tell turn your brain in to an organ donation center so it can be used in research.
>>729185594i only bought amiibo for Zelda and Fire Emblem.
>>729187957Generally speaking, amiibo are made for one game with one purpose in mind. Only the random reward games make use of any others because it doesn't matter what they are (even if released later, to answer that question). There was a period where a number of Mario games made use the large number of Mario series amiibo, and even some Smash amiibo, but most games don't do that anymore. That was 10+ years ago on the Wii U when they first started doing them. These days you pick up an amiibo because you either want the specific thing it unlocks in the specific thing it's for, or you just want the figure itself.
