I just ordered an amiibo emulator off AliExpress.

My wife is like "isn't that cheating" and I'm like "yeah, but it's pay-to-play, so I'm okay with that".

It's less cheating than a game genie...

    Can't a phone with NFC and an app send any Amiibo's signal? I'm pretty sure I've done that before.

    Cool! Always wondered if a fun solution were ever found for the Monster Rancher PS games where you'd put arbitrary CDs/DVDs in to see what monster was generated.

    I was just thinking about this series a few days ago. Such a good gimmick.

    It felt like fucking magic at the time lmao, and the games were legitimately fun and interesting even without the ~best gimmick of all time involved.

    Could enjoy the games pretty entirely even with zero discs to scan. But the magic disc lottery, plus access to tons of otherwise unavailable entire species of monster, plus breeding that opens up from there 🤌
