I tried with 5 different tags, and not a single one would scan on my Switch. It wouldn't even try scanning them. I have some Zelda cards I got separately that work perfectly fine, but the tags I got won't. Both I got on Amazon, and both had positive reviews saying they work on Switch. The NFC tags even had many video reviews showing them scanning. The pack I got has 50 tags total, so I have 45 left I could try, but I don't want to waste them.
@Frawgeey That's what the Amazon listing claims. They even have examples of them being used for Amiibos, and reviews with videos of people using them for it.
Hit the gear button and at the top it should say 'import keys' if they are red then they have not yet imported, Tap this and it will let you locate the import keys and once they should no longer be greyed out.
Hello! Firstly, thanks for the easy tutorial. It helped me a lot! Next I wanted to ask you how I can access the amiibo cards of series 5. Series 5 doesn't seem to be in the folder. The link in the description only contains series 1-4. I hope you can help me!
Toad costs €30 which i dont have for a stupid hide and seek mode to 100% Captain Toad, so imma just make a custom one with paper toad and a cardboard babe. Creative, fitting to the Mario series and simple
It doesn't work when I use it on the switch 😓 I know my nfc cards and bin files work because I have abt 20 amiibos I made on an old phone that work so I must be using the app wrong idk what to do.
Where do i find the keys? Or are they the .bin files? I select the red "secret key" link and select all my .bin files, but nothing changes. The writing stays red. Any tips?
You have to select the individual files which are in the root folder. The stuff in red is the same name of what you should be selecting. If you select everything I don’t think it will work
This helps a lot! But I'm at a bit of a wall. How do I download from the drive you added in the desc? When I click the Animal crossing character I go to download, it just pops up "Copy file name". How do I download it?
It happened to me aswell, what I did was I downloaded the file, when u go to downloads click share and then drive, save it to your drive then go to tagmo and it should b there
When I go to the Doc, and choose the file I want all I can do is copy file name, and when I download the files, it’s in a zip and I don’t know what to do after that, what do I convert the zip into??
Tagmo want a key i dont know ware to find i mean i have nfc tags ok i have downloaded bin.s what i want but tagmo want a key And without i cant do nothing pls explan
Sounds like you need to grant the app permissions to save data to your phone. I believe this should still work although the app might look different now
Late to the party, but yes you can. Ntag215 cards have a total space of 540. I googled the question and found several answers explaining it in better detail, but that was the jist of it. Hope it helps.
@@FrawgeeyNo it's not showing me anything. I'll find the files and it won't allow me to click them. I also think it's the files I have saved since I'm doing splatoon and I haven't been able to find any files other than a reddit link.
Bro thank you soooo much!! I couldn't find any tutorials that are not outdated and I found yours. Deserves a subscribe
Thank you so much for this! It worked perfectly. Tbh I had no hope but this was amazing!! Thanks
thank you so much. I was looking at amiibo prices and saw your video.
TYSM FOR THIS, I ordered some nfc tags and I got the app working, can't wait 😁😁😁
hii what nfc tags did u use? Theres like 213 , 215, 216 😭😭 and im sooo confused
@@Aleyaa221 I used the VIDETOL 50 Pcs NTAG215 NFC Tags
@@Aleyaa221 Hi!! These must to be 215 for working, sorry for the late reply!

I have the same problem. The difference is I've got only 30 cards and already used 2
Does anyone know how to solve this?
@@NathaliaRosa30 And @DevinOfBacon are they NTAG215 nfc tags?
Are they the NTAG215 cards?
@Frawgeey That's what the Amazon listing claims.

Question, does it function as an amiibo woukd if you hold your phone up to the switch? Or do you absolutely need the card/coin?
Have to have the coins/cards
Hey, so i need help.. when i go to select it from my drive, its there, but its in grey and it wont let me select it.
Hit the gear button and at the top it should say 'import keys' if they are red then they have not yet imported, Tap this and it will let you locate the import keys and once they should no longer be greyed out.
THANK YOU!! All i need to do now is buy some NFC tags and see if itll work for my switch! Ill come back after i get some.
I'm back. It worked!!
You are a hero.
It's not working for me at all. It's not loading the amiibo into the app.
There’s a setting in the app that you need to tell it where you put the files on your device.
@Frawgeey I've figued it out myself. I forgot the keys🥲
Thank you. Works like a charm
Dude thank you so much

Updated the description with an up to date link
Could you please give me the link of the nfc tags your are using? Great video!
Unfortunately the seller I originally bought these from shut down their shop, so I can’t link the exact ones.
Some of my amiibo does not work properly. Any idea why? I used the same app as yours.
NFC tags sometimes come malfunctioned. It's an issue, sometimes they just straight up dont work and you throw it away and use a new one.
Sometimes there are just bad ones when you buy them. For example I bought a pack 50 and 5 of them don’t work no matter what I do.😭
I am so new to these things, but i have one question what are the cards and coins that you use?
NFC cards : )
NFC Tags, be sure to get get NTAG215
Hi, I’m trying to import a file and it’s still saying something missing, I don’t know what to do
Tagmo will create a folder and you have to put the files into that folder.
@@Frawgeey how tho?
@@Drixitrune_ you’ll have to google how to move files on whatever phone model you have
@@Frawgeeythx so much
This worked for me! But i do have the question if the progress in smash figures is save so you dont have to restart from level 1
I believe it should work, but I’ve also seen people the smash bros ones require more space then the cards/coins allow
@@Frawgeey ok, thanks!

I have the same problem, I follow the steps and when I try to use the amiibo the switch show me an error, what should I do?
What is the error?
What if I do not want to buy nfc tags? Just place my phone over my nintendo switch?
No
Thanks for making this video!!! Is there a certain type of nfc tag that works or will any tag do?
Has to be NTAG215, as stated in the video
It doesn't work when I use it on the switch 😓 I know my nfc cards and bin files work because I have abt 20 amiibos I made on an old phone that work so I must be using the app wrong idk what to do.
Do you get any errors when writing to the cards?
Tysm this is really helpfull
How do you get the files from tho
In the description
Thx

When I write to card it says ,lift card slitghly to complete scan, but nothing happends???
Try pressing the card to the phone
Everything I try to save a file from an amiibo ive already got it won't let me 😢
I’m not sure what this means
This helps a lot! But I'm at a bit of a wall. How do I download from the drive you added in the desc? When I click the Animal crossing character I go to download, it just pops up "Copy file name". How do I download it?
There should be a 3-dot button somewhere that you click on to actually download
i dont know why its saying ntag 15 required, found nfca! do i have the wrong one i remeber using this nfcs befor?
Probably the wrong type of card
I'm missing those files completely? They're not in my downloads, what should I do 😭
Same here.
They are in the description (you have to download them separately and tell the app where to look for them
I cant get the google drive to work it downloads but when i go to tagmo it shows but when i tap it nothing happens
There’s a setting in the app that you need to tell it where you put the files on your device.
It happened to me aswell, what I did was I downloaded the file, when u go to downloads click share and then drive, save it to your drive then go to tagmo and it should b there

You just unzip the file, no need to convert.
Followed all instructions but is keeps saying "failed to decrypt tag data"
Sometimes tags don’t work out of the box. Try different ones until it works.
Can it overwrite amiibos? I paid for a nfc splatoon 1 2 and 3 cards and they have 3 duplicate amiibos
No
My sister showed me this stuff. I’m just wanting to make sure, these are free right? Or not. Also does the tagmiibo on iOS work?
You have to buy the tags, and tagmo is Android only
My files don’t show up even after doing what you’ve done when they show up blank… any solution ? Btw I’m on a xiaomi so maybe there’s a link with it ?
I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with how to operate Xiaomi devices
Ive placed the folder where my amiibo are but none of them are loading. I downloaded and added the two essential files. What do i need to do
There’s a setting to tell the app where that folder is
@@Frawgeey I accidentally did something wrong which I didn't notice at first. I got it fixed and the amiibo show now.
@@anthemproductionsplease tell m how did yall find the amiibos
@@UglyAssCat websites online, although I can't give any. Just make sure they're safe.
@@anthemproductions i ended up finding one
Does it have the newer 2.0 Update Villagers?
Yes
Tagmo want a key i dont know ware to find i mean i have nfc tags ok i have downloaded bin.s what i want but tagmo want a key And without i cant do nothing pls explan
It’s in the same folder as all the bins. Like the root folder
It says the file i downloaded is not a good idea due to privacy reasons
It’s up to you then
@@Frawgeey I said yes but it just said it's a bad idea again
I cant get the bin files to show?
Tagmo will create a folder and you have to put the files into that folder.
Dyk if youre able to replace and old amiibo w a diff one?
No, you cannot
Having a problem it google drive says that the file is unsupported
You have to download the zip file to your phone
@@Frawgeey i figured it out took me a while but I got it thanks for the videos
There doesnt stand 'scan' at mine😢
Huh?
hello I can't use the app it says configure your root folder what is that?
PS. is this method still works?? cuz I'm about to buy nfc tags and make it
Sounds like you need to grant the app permissions to save data to your phone.
I believe this should still work although the app might look different now
@@Frawgeey thank you it's still working and very easy I've done it with Ione
NFC tags are optional or they are required?
required...

hi i dont want to watch the whole video. Do i need to buy this white round card thing or can i make it alone
You need to buy the NFC card otherwise your switch has nothing to scan
Where can i get the tags from?
Amazon
i have the amiibo files, but whenever i got and insert them into the app it doesn't want to work
Like do you get an error?
@@FrawgeeyNo it's not showing me anything. I'll find the files and it won't allow me to click them.
