amiibo figures will only be able to hold information for one game at a time, Nintendo has confirmed.

That news has been revealed via a notice posted on the Japanese amiibo website. The message states:

“Amiibo can only store data for one read/write compatible game at a time. If you wish to use the data from other read/write compatible software, please erase the data in the ‘Amiibo settings’ section of the Wii U settings menu.”

Keep in mind that amiibo figures with already-stored data can still be used for ready-only games.

Well that sucks :C

This is write data, not read data....the only game as of now that uses write data is Smash Bros

That sucks, but at the moment smash is the only game that needs save data.

The rest you just place it on your gamepad and get the bonus, no saving necessary. I'm guessing most will be like that, and not as many like Smash.

So it looks like we will eventually have to get 2 versions of the same character in the future, if they make another game that needs write capabilities. It figures, since all the current Amiibos look like Smash trophies.

Well.... people will not want to buy just one Amiibo so I think it´s ok. I could use one different game per Amiibo. Like, Mario for saving SSB data , Yoshi for saving Mario Party 10 data (if it has the write function) and so on.

Is there going to be a second game that writes data? If so what data would it write?

Is there even gonna be another game that uses it's save data?

Maybe.

We don't know of any yet though.

Yea no idea, thinking of pretty much every nintendo game i can, I can't see them using save data.  Just see them using it like Mario Kart/Hyrule Warriors.

Basically you get an unlockable of some sort for plopping them in.

The only game I can think of is like Pokemon type games.  Like Pokemon Rumble, where they already have like amiibo's that you get for it.  So maybe a pokemon colliseum or something?  I don't know.

I'm fine witht his one save thing.  It's not really needed in smash, so if something comes out better usage I'll easily switch.   I mean I can just switch to using lvl 9 CPU's if I want to play 8 player smash, no amiibo's needed.
