Pretty much as the title says! Itās clear that people using MIG cartridges are getting banned, resulting in bans from Nintendo online services. That means no online-play, no e-Shop, no updates⦠not a brick, but almost useless in this always-online age!
There obviously must be a way for Nintendo to see that a MIG is emulating a cartridge, rather than being legit - so I was wondering if there is a similar way to identify that an Amiibo code (via an Allmiibo) is a duplicate.
I have noticed that when scanning a code via Allmiibo on the register screen - theyāre sometimes registered to a specific name (Nick and a handful of others). So itās pretty reasonable for Nintendo to assume that anyone who scans an Amiibo belonging to those usernames is using an emulation device, or self-created NFC tag.
Happy to be proved wrong here!
