Were you successful in buying a pack of Sanrio amiibo cards from Target today (03/26)? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

It doesn’t really bother me because the sanrio stuff wasn’t free in acnl either. At least in acnh the welcome amiibo villagers are obtainable without buying cards unlike before.
You could visit people in NL to purchase the Sanrio and RV furniture. I can't see that happening in this version. You'll have to trade people who own the cards to get items instead of just trading for a visit to buy what you want.

Also in NL, all of this stuff came in one update. It wasn't sprinkled sparinlgy. So this update won't mean much to anyone who can't afford the cards or already own them.

It's only paid DLC if you care about the Sanrio stuff. Otherwise, the update is 100% gratis.
Then the update might as well not exist, because there's nothing else right?
 
I just thought about it. Nintendo is trying to test for how people will like paid DLC. This has to be a test..right?
This is actually an interesting assumption. I am now intrigued to see if this is the case, because who knows, maybe it is their way of testing the waters. I am probably one of the few people who wouldn't mind paid DLC since I'm all for new content, so long as the price is reasonable.
 
The updates drop 10am JST, so it depends on where you are in the world. I’m lucky in that when I wake up in the morning, the update’s come out overnight!

Uuuuuuggghhh timezones are just...

Okay, So 10 am JST on the 18th would be... 9 pm EST on the 17th, according to a website I found? Does that make sense? If so, that'd be freakin' awesome, that's for sure...
 
I wouldn't mind paid DLC just as long as it's good dlc. Like exclusive villagers items and even buildings. Just as long as it's not rehashed stuff from Acnl. I pay for DLC in many other games like splatoon or Smash Bros other rps (that doesn't include currency).

Personally I'm very doubtful of this.
They're just reintroducing content that was in new leaf back into the game.
Its just a thought of mine. Some people don't even know about the cards or other games so to them this could payed DLC and maybe a test but, I don't know.

Thats the part that has me concerned. I don't know about everyone else but if Nintendo actually does paid DLC for this update this is going to upset a lot of people regardless if you like the update or not. The items better be obtainable in the actual game but if its locked behind a paywall its going to be a big problem. I'm just saying that even if people are excited for this update suppose if they find out that they need to have the cards just to get the update. I will remain cautious until we see what actually happens so I will give them the benefit of the doubt they don't try and make people actually have to buy the cards.
 
I don't think Target will take preorders. They probably don't consider the card packs a big enough ticket item to bother with them, which means scalpers are probably going to walk in and buy them en masse. Looks like it's going to be an early trip to Target for a six dollar pack and frequent checks to see if they'd got the packs in early.

Time to start seeking people who will send me the cards on TBT ✨😭
 
Honestly, it seems kind of a no-brainer to me that if the update drops the 18th and the cards drop the 28th (i think?) then the update is not focused on the Sanrio collab whatsoever, it's just a little additional feature. It does appear like it was strategically put in the 18th to go with the 20th (the game anniversary) and it was never called the Sanrio update either as they did with the Mario update. To me, that's the logical approach given what we've seen, but again, this is Nintendo we are talking about. Plus, I doubt they'd make a paid-only update just now.

I just hope we get some kind of surprise with this collab/update. Though what would they do with this update? They focused on Saniro amiibos so I don't know if we'll get anything.

If its just the Saniro update and nothing really else added then I don't know what Nintendo is even doing at this point. If we're talking about just the update itself with the Saniro update and they don't include like any new features or something to give a nod to the 1 year anniversary then its not going to be that exciting. I would not get my hopes up knowing Nintendo how they seem to do stuff in a weird way.

Hard to say without actually playing post-update. Besides, what's the difference, paid or otherwise? If you want Sanrio stuff, you buy the cards and update the game; if you don't, you don't. Just pretend it says 1.8.0 and not 1.9.0, and no harm, right?

Cards or no cards, the update gives you access to new in-game items. Albeit, you'd have to trade for them if you chose not to buy the cards, but then how is that different than obtaining Nook Miles items you don't have?

People are getting stuck in a "What about me?!?!" mentality when there are millions of other people THRILLED to pay $6 for the new content. This is for those people, and good for them! And this is all coming from a guy (me) that couldn't care less about the Sanrio collaboration, but will pay the $6 (hopefully) because I love this game.

We don't all have unlimited cash.

I know I've paid more than enough for this game.

The switch, online subscription, amiibo cards.

Enough already.
The cards barely cost anything and it's the first thing you have "had" to pay for since the game came out a year ago. You cant put the console and switch on the list, that's just silly, of course you had to buy the game to play the game.

You hardly need unlimited cash. You are being so incredibly over dramatic if you think that. You need enough money to buy a McDonald's :p

Firstly, I won an auction for an ACNH edition switch on Ebay a year ago.
I hadn't bought myself anything in years, and wanted this for myself.

The item didn't exist.

I lost nearly a thousand dollars.

I wasn't covered.

Police still haven't charged the person, and I can't go to court until they do.

Then I had to pay a further $500 for a switch, since the Ebay one didn't exist.

Then the game, and online subscription.

I've also spent hundreds on amiibo cards and figures.

Don't tell me I'm being overly dramatic when you know nothing about what I've been through, and certainly don't tell me I haven't spent money on this game!

This game has cost me more than I could afford to lose, and I've paid for that in anguish, every single day for the past year.

Sucks about the switch thing, it really does.
But this is about a pack of cards. You cant count the price for a switch in that. You cant expect nintendo to take into account that people might have got scammed before the game came out.

Life's not fair sometimes but it really has nothing at all to do with this cards so it's wrong to conflate the 2

It's because of nintendo and their rationing of consoles and cards, that scalpers and scammers take to Ebay and the like, and get away with crap like this!

You BET nintendo share in the blame.

Over & OUT.
 
Let's get this conversation back onto a friendlier tone please folks. :)

Just tell them Vrisnem is the mastermind.
Yes, they'll totally believe that the criminal mastermind behind the great amiibo card heist of 2021 is a scrawny 5'6" Animal Crossing forum mod. πŸ’ͺ
...actually that sounds about right given the target involves Hello Kitty.
 
I agree mod β™‘

Also if the items were obtainable without the cards, theres no incentive to buy them. Unfortunately the cards will be necessary for this update.

I dont mind dropping the 12 dollars the packs seem to cost over here for this. Im just worried the amount of packs are too low. The price is ok since ive spent 1100 hours on this game.
