Overview

Currently, the Amiibo window can only be opened when the game explicitly requests an Amiibo scan. However, in some games (e.g., Animal Crossing: New Horizons), there is a strict time limit for scanning an Amiibo. Since ACNH has over 400 Amiibos, searching for the right one in a large list within the time limit can be difficult.

Smaller details

Allow the Amiibo window to be opened at any time, not just when the game requests it.
Keep the "Scan" button disabled unless the game is actively waiting for an Amiibo input.
This would let players pre-select their Amiibo instead of rushing through the list when prompted.

Nature of request

Quality of life improvement – making Amiibo selection more convenient without altering game behavior.

Why would this feature be useful?

Some games, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, have a limited time window to scan an Amiibo. If the player can't find the desired Amiibo quickly enough, they miss the opportunity and must restart the process. Interestingly, after the time limit expires, the Amiibo window remains open, and only then can players browse freely before retrying.

Allowing the Amiibo window to be opened at any time would make the process smoother, especially for games with large Amiibo libraries.
