1. Introduction

This documentation provides developers of Nintendo applications that use the Nintendo Figurine Platform/NFC Featured Platform (NFP) with an overview of the NFP library, the functions used, and programming procedures.

Applications can use NFP to incorporate the use of branded character products called amiibo™ figures.

Note that this documentation omits the descriptions of NFP and amiibo figures. We recommend reading the NFP Overview and the Planning and Operations Manual: NFP Edition beforehand.

A separate error code list is provided with examples of the messages that are displayed when certain errors are returned by the NFP library. We recommend referring to this list as needed.

Note:

CTR uses infrared to communicate with the NFC Reader/Writer.
To use the NFP library from a CTR application while another feature is using the infrared communication, you must end the other feature first.

Infrared communication is used by the following features.

  • Infrared communication between systems
  • Circle Pad Pro
