As you may have seen, the new Min Min Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo is now available in-store. If you’re planning to add this to your collection, here’s your PSA, this new fighter-based amiibo arms series probably doesn’t actually require unboxing to use.
As highlighted by one user on the amiibo subreddit (using the North American Min Min model), the packaging of this new amiibo may not have an “NFC blocker tag,” which would prevent Nintendo fans from getting the NFC graphics while they’re still in the box. to scan.
There are various theories as to why this particular amiibo could be scanned, but it seems this change may have happened before Min Min – using Twitter account’Amibo News‘ Note how this should have been implemented since the repost Kirby Amibo:
@AmiiboNews – “Fun Fact: Starting with the Kirby amiibo re-release, Nintendo removed the foil that prevented you from scanning amiibo in the box. Box collectors rejoice!”
We tested our own boxed Min Min amiibo at Nintendo Life and were also able to successfully scan it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Have you had any luck yourself? Leave a comment below.
Min Min can be scanned in Box. No NFC blocker tags. Is Nintendo just throwing bones at NiB collectors or showing they don’t care much about amiibo? from amiibo
