A few months ago, we featured Amiiqo, an NFC token that can store up to 200 Amiibo profiles. However, you need to have an Android device with an NFC chip to transfer the data to and from Amiiqo.

Nintendo’s Amiibo line has been a big hit for the company so far, but a $50 (USD) device called Amiiqo could put a dent in their profits. It’s a shame, because Amiiqo does have legitimate and practical features. 

Behold, the Hylian god’s only begotten son! Redditor xxIvoteforSBelmontXX turned a Toon Link Amiibo into the Hero of Time’s Fierce Deity form from Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Link’s super-powered form does appear in the Super Smash Bros.

Amiibo are frustratingly rare as it is, but many collectors and artists have taken to customizing Nintendo’s collectibles to make them even more distinctive. Joining this growing market is one of our favorite action modders John Mallamas aka Jin Saotome.

Amiibo has become quite a hit for Nintendo, and the company seems keen to roll out as many characters as it can as soon as possible. YouTuber Mema Haxx – who created the Wii U GamePad hack libdrc –seems to have uncovered at least two Amiibo that have yet to be released or announced.
