It's fake. Those chibi versions of the characters were made by someone on dA.

I KNEW I'd seen Chief in color somewhere! Yay I'm not going crazy!
I completely agree!
To all you people saying it looks better than the AC:NL 3DS LL you need to go get your eyes checked. I'm so glad this is fake.
Hey, I don't like Polka dots. To me they're one of the biggest design sins a person can make! lol It has nothing to do with being ugly or pretty or anything! You don't gotta insult my ability to critique a design.
Given the choice between dots and an actual drawn design, I'm going to go with the latter.
