A mysterious Nintendo gadget just appeared in the FCC’s database.

Nintendo describes it as an “NFC Reader Writer,” and I found a vague diagram in one of the files. Maybe it’s something for amiibo? An update to the old Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer accessory, for some reason?

What do you think? Here are the files, if you want to dig through them yourself.
