The Amiiqo is then used in place of a figure on the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS. The Amiiqo works with a companion Android app, which is used to transfer the amiibo data to the device. “The image can be from a ‘blank’ (new, unplayed) figurine but also from a Amiibo that was already levelled up or with power-ups, making it a super effective cheat system,” reads the Amiiqo site, a refreshingly honest take on a device that is probably going to get someone sued.


Which is to say, it could be used to hold pirated information for over 200 characters. However, the site also claims that you can use the Amiiqo to store amiibo data downloaded from the Internet. A device like the Amiiqo would mean that instead of erasing the data, you could load a different version of that amiibo. Currently you have to erase the saved data from your amiibo to use it in different games. The Amiiqo, which isn’t authorized by Nintendo, stores information on amiibo characters and can be used in place of the figures. It would function as a back-up.
