> Nintendo has every right to do limited runs on some Amiibos.

They have every right to do limited runs, I have every right to do everything in my power to bypass that. I own the console, it's processor and memory after all. This is the nature of writing software that runs on a computer that someone else owns - ultimately, they have every right and power to decide how it runs.

If you buy the standard edition of a CAD tool, say Solidworks, and the premium edition is unlocked via a USB dongle do you have a right to apply a crack to unlock the premium edition just because the code is present in the standard edition installation?
Morally, sure, you paid the money, they gave you the code and then you used it as you saw fit.

Legally, meh, probably not so much.
