According to an IGN report, amiibo figures are not region locked. The site was able to register an American figure with a Japanese profile following yesterday’s Wii U firmware update. That’s certainly good news!

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.
