Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so popular that it caused the cost of Animal Crossing amiibo to spike through the roof uncontrollably - it's genuinely insane how popular Nintendo's social sim has quickly become, and we couldn't be happier. Except for the amiibo prices, that is.
The fact is, there are a bunch of amiibo that I would've certainly purchased before had I known that the prices would skyrocket in the way that they did, and I'm left with the dreaded FOMO and misery. Except we can solve that.
Through a new Android app called JoyCon Droid and some dumped NFC data, we can import amiibo villagers without actually having to own their amiibo. Cheeky? Absolutely. Can you blame me? I'm assuming not.
If you follow our instructions here, you should know everything you need in order to get any amiibo villager you wish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons… And of course, these instructions should work fine for pretty much any game which uses amiibo.

How to download JoyCon Droid and connect to your Nintendo Switch
This is all made possible thanks to JoyCon Droid, the app which lets you use your Android device as a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. It should be noted that several devices have issues with JoyCon Droid at the moment, such as Google Pixel, Huawei, and Xiaomi.
If you have an Android device other than those, such as a Samsung, then you're in luck, and this should work fine. Though the app is in Alpha as of the time of writing, the free version does show ads, and you can likely expect bugs.
- You can find JoyCon Droid (Alpha) on the Google Play Store. No need to worry about dodgy .apk files!
- Once downloaded and installed, go into your app permissions and ensure JoyCon Droid can access your storage, and that it has amiibo functionality enabled in the settings.
- Choose the Pro Controller option.
- On your Nintendo Switch, open the controller pairing screen.
- Choose Change Order, and then select the black sync button on the app, between the shoulder buttons.
- Make sure your phone has Bluetooth connected, and accept any notifications that appear.
- Your phone should now be connected to your Switch. The app may bug at this point, if so, restart the app or your phone entirely and try again.
How to download amiibo NFC data
Now, let's be clear here: the legality of downloading amiibo data that you didn't purchase is fairly murky. It's objectively not as serious as, say, video game piracy, but it's certainly a grey area.
There are sites online which act as a bank you can use to find amiibo data, and you'll likely find what you need if you search for '*villager name* nfc.' That will work better if the name of the villager isn't a common name, of course, and preferable to all of this is simply burning NFC data yourself, or loaning an amiibo from a friend.
Once you have acquired the files you need, you'll be looking for a .bin file. Put that somewhere on your Android device that you will be able to find easily.
How to invite amiibo campers
Once you've followed the above steps you should have the app, the amiibo data, and have your Nintendo Switch connected to your phone. Now you can go to the kiosk in Resident Services, as usual, and invite an amiibo camper.
You should be using your phone as a controller for this part. You can activate the kiosk, and then press the home button to configure your controller if need be.
- Once connected choose to invite an amiibo camper, and tap through the menus.
- Once you're prompted to present an amiibo, a file explorer should appear on your phone. Use this to find the .bin file which contains your desired amiibo data.
- If the file explorer does not open on your Android device, you may need to restart the app or your phone. Again, the app is in alpha, so it's forgiveable.
- If successful, your Nintendo Switch should read it as a legitimate amiibo card or figure, and import the character into your game!

What you'll have to do is go and talk to them, and do anything they ask. They may ask for an item that you don't have - in most cases, they'll provide you wish a DIY recipe if this is the case. Another bonus from inviting them!
Craft whatever they desire and gift it to them. This'll convince them to stay, at least a little bit. You'll need to invite over amiibo campers and perform tasks for them for three days before they decide to stay. But once it's all done, they're all yours!
RELATED STORIES
It seems people have been creating their own Amiibo Card clones for a while now, but since Animal Crossing New Horizons dropped, it's become a hot topic again.
So how do you make Amiibo Cards for Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Don't worry, we've gotcha covered!
You Will Need
- An android phone (you can grab yourself an incredibly cheap one here)
- Ntag215, a tag that you'll be transferring data to (These can be found extremely cheap here)
How To Make Amiibo Cards For Animal Crossing New Horizons:
Step 1.
Head into the setting of your android phone and change the ‘installation of unknown apps' setting to ‘allow' for Chrome, Drive, and My Files.
Step 2.
Head over to Google Chrome and visit website nfc-bank.com and look for the ‘download files' section. Find the list of three files just like the ones in the picture below, and click ‘download all files'.
Step 3.
This next part is where a lot of people get stuck. Github windows 7. Once the files have downloaded, you'll have to locate them, unfortunately, it is different for each phone, and could even be saved onto an SD card, take some time and find your files.

Step 3.5
This step won't apply to everyone so if this isn't you, move on to step 4.
Some phones will download the files into a .zip folder (a folder that compresses all of the data) meaning it will need to be extracted to get to the content inside. You'll be able to find a free ‘.zip file extractor' in the store, so go ahead and do that before step 4.
Step 4
Once everything is downloaded, you'll be met with the TagMo app, or, you'll need to open the TagMo app.
Go to settings in the TagMo app and right at the top will be a section that says ‘import keys' there should be 2 red items under that.
These items are red because they haven't been imported yet, fortunately, they're the files you downloaded in step 2. So go ahead and click the red item one at a time and locate the file for the corresponding time. For example, clicking on ‘unfix key' will open your downloads and you'll be able to select the ‘unfix-info.bin' file you downloaded earlier.
Once you've done this for both items, they should turn green!
Step 5
Head back to the nfc website, find the Amiibo section and then locate the Animal Crossing Complete Collection, or you can just click here as I've done it for you. You could have a scroll on the site and find the exact character you're looking for, but for now, we'll download the full collection.
Now click the file ‘Animal Crossing.zip'
Step 6.
Amiibo
Once downloaded and installed, you'll be taken to the folder with two separate folders – ‘cards' and ‘figures'.
As you may have had to do in step 3.5, you'll need to extract the ‘cards' folder as it is a .zip file, if you're not sure how to do this, scroll up to step 3.5.
Step 7.
You should now be met with a folder with subfolders named ‘series 1' and ‘series 2' etc. These should contain hundreds of items. Each series represents a generation of the Amiibo characters.
Step 8.
Click out of the folder and go back to the TagMo app, click on ‘load tag' and navigate through the folders you downloaded in the previous step, find the character you wish to bring to your island and click the file.
Step 9.
Now that you've loaded the character you want, click ‘write tag' you'll be met with a screen that says ‘put tag under phone'.
Put the Ntag215 under the phone (your phone will react with the tag in the same way it does when you pay using Apple Pay or a similar service).
Step 10.
That's it! You've now got an islander on your tag ready for an invite to your island, the same way you would if you had the official Amiibo Card.
If you want to get creative with your tag to make it look a little more exciting (like the picture below,) I'd suggest checking out Reddit for design tips.
It's worth mentioning, once you've made these cards and the islander is settled in, you can then give them to a friend, and it'll work for them too! Was this helpful for you?
