amiibo Minimal Database Model: The Fields You Need for Games, Figures, and Unlocks
amiibo content scales when the data model is stable. The mistake is writing one-off posts without a structure. This guide defines a minimal model you can expand: amiibo item, game, support rules, and rewards.
Core Entities (Minimal)
- amiiboItem: name, series, type (figure/card), release info, regions/packaging notes.
- Game: title, platform, franchise, scan menu path (where to scan).
- SupportRule: accepts (any / series / specific list), scan limits, write-back (yes/no).
- Reward: type (cosmetic/item/unlock/save), description, notes, constraints.
The Three Fields That Make It Useful
- Supported scope (any vs series vs specific amiibo list).
- Reward type (cosmetic/item/unlock/save).
- Limit behavior (daily/weekly/random/fixed).
Rule: if you store those three fields consistently, you can generate the compatibility index pages automatically.
