A new Android device will soon allow amiibo owners to back up their amiibo data, allowing single amiibo to be used across multiple games. The unauthorized device, known as "Amiiqo," works with an Android app.

All your favorite amiibo, like Dragon and Linux Penguin.

The device, first spotted over on eurogamer , comes pre-loaded with 10 different figurines, including "5 unreleased ones," and has the capacity to store up to 200 figures worth of data, according to the device's website The maker of the device says that it is a "super effective cheat system," pointing to the ability of the Amiiqo to transfer any amiibo image, download images from the internet, or share images with friends.Nintendo doesn't take kindly to unauthorized uses of its property. A fan-made remake of Super Mario 64 was shut down by Nintendo earlier in the year. While the amiiqo device doesn't fall into the same category of copyright as the fan-made game, it seems like a no-brainer that the nearly $70 USD device is not long for this world.While it kind of takes the fun out of amiibo collecting, it does offer a tempting solution to gamers who want to unlock amiibo-specific rewards in certain games. Take, for example, the unlockable amiibo costumes in Super Mario Maker. Sure, you could spend $50 on a Gold Mario, or you could just be a cheater and cheat with the amiiqo, a device described by the manufacture as being perfect for cheating.
