ACNH × Sanrio Crossover Discussion + Question Thread 💗

[Mu~]

This is what I'm watching in the US:

Amiibo Cards : Target

Shop Target for amiibo cards you will love at great low prices. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order Pickup plus free shipping on orders $35+.

www.target.com

I meant everyone with the list checks whenever they can xD

canada gang with no target wya
anyway i’m interested in seeing what some of Toby’s furniture-namely the bridge and lantern-look like outside. i can see them being used for some neat stuff.

 

[Burumun]

Tysm for the info! Fingers crossed they don't cancel my order.
Got a problem, idk how to change and complete my shipping address, can someone plz help me? I live in Spain and am not even sure if they'll ship here.

Used Google translate on their terms and conditions page, it sounds like they don't deliver outside of Sweden.

Still eagerly awaiting some news for the UK as more European countries are having pre-orders now.

It's not passing judgement if the behavior is unethical, it's simply calling it what it is. And in your scenario, you can insert any illegal to sell/resell item, and the lack of ethics would still apply. It ultimately comes down to the conscience of the buyer to rationalize it being okay.

Most of these sellers aren't bad people is the point I'm trying to make. In a lot of cases, they've actually helped people enjoy the game more because they were able to supply amiibos to interested players when Nintendo was not doing so.

If one wants to label that as rationalizing, that's fine, but I don't personally think people should feel bad about spending a few bucks on some fake amiibos for Animal Crossing. This game is meant to bring people to joy and most people are just trying to enjoy the game.

What’s ethical or not is an opinion, just look at how nobody can agree what an ethical diet is!

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't disagree with the flipper/scalper model just as much as you don't disagree with the crafter/bootlegger model, and that's perfectly fine. It is nice to be able to have the discourse without people getting raging mad about it, so thank you for that.

Do the Sanrio amiibo cards actually contain data or are they simply going to unlock content that will be updated into the game? If it’s just unlocking content once the update gets added to the game then Nintendo is basically holding back content from people that purchased the game by choosing not to produce enough copies for everyone that wants it simply to create hype through artificial scarcity. If that’s how Nintendo wishes to operate then I have no problem in buying from someone else.

I imagine they're no different than the current Nintendo-produced Amiibo cards currently available. The content is inaccessible without the NFC data that resides on the card itself.

You have to look at it as a DLC model, since that's exactly what it is. Don't get the cards, don't get the content. Compare it to Roblox and Robux. Don't buy the virtual currency, don't have access to certain in-game items.

 

[Bilaz]

You can get the items from others through trading though, and they're not limited in any way. So the only thing you're really locked out of are the villagers

I don’t know how Robux works but I’m guessing they’re easily purchasable for anyone that wants them. In the case of Nintendo, they’re pretty much telling people that will be unable to purchase the cards due to making them limited that they’re not interested in our money. They could easily do something like the Robux that that you mentioned and ofter to unlock the Sanrio content digitally but they choose not to.

I guess you could say that I’m just trying to do mental gymnastics to justify buying them elsewhere but not being able to get the items that are going to be included in the game because Nintendo refuses to take my money just doesn’t sit right with me.

A heads-up for anyone living in the Netherlands: you can now pre-order the cards at GameMania.

Thanks for the heads up! I just wanted to order (precaution of my Fnac order is cancelled) and they are sold out already!

All my hope is with Fnac right now :')

I checked at 2 pm and they were already gone. Do they sell out in minutes? I'm worried.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

Mmmm America gang with no pre-orders. I still refuse to buy fakes. I don't care how badly Nintendo is handling this, I still want the original real cards I fell in love with 6 years ago. I want Etoile. I never liked the sheep ever (except for clown bby and Willow) but, I want Etoile her card and villager.

Has this been officially confirmed? I know it worked that way in New leaf with the items, but I haven't heard officially that Nintendo will let us trade/give away the Sanrio items to players who don't have the cards. I would not be surprised if they locked the items in New Horizons. I'd hate it, but I just wouldn't be shocked.

I have no idea! I was working all day and only checked around 17.30..

I’m wondering about this as well. I really wouldn’t be surprised if they did lock the items so you couldn’t trade for them.

They tend to sell out within a few hours.

I feel so stupid, I was with the phone at the time it was posted here and I forgot to come check the thread
