New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo Update General Discussion

[HHoney]

I hope that when you invite a villager to move in from the Happy Home Designer series, that they will have the house you designed for them from HHD! Then you could potentially buy some items from their house...

I'm thinking the same thing!

That....and the ability to plot the new villager houses. I keep hoping!

I really hope that they finish the update early and release it actually during fall! I don't think I can wait until December, knowing how impatient I am.

The release date technically is still fall, since winter doesn't officially start till December 21st, I think.
It still feels like winter though, since it's December.

That would be amazing and give me more reason to pick up home designer again. I've only played it about 4 times since I got it. Linking the 2 in some way would be brilliant.

Agree about plotting new villager houses too but sadly I can't see that being in the update we can hope!

Well for me December feels like winter since I lived in a place where it might even snow in November. Thanks for correcting me anyways. Btw I like your signature.

Me too, and thanks, thought it's pretty outdated

Has there been any new news (lol) since the Nintendo Direct? I haven't checked this thread for a while and I don't feel like reading back everything.

 

[Nunbal]

You can invite a villager from HHD? Maybe I should buy that game then. Hmm.

The only recent news about the update was the Sanrio collaboration for Japan, which will have 6 new villagers with new Sanrio-themed furniture. I guess most of our questions about the update will be answered during the special Animal Crossing Direct that will be out on November 2.

November 2nd is so faaaar awaaaayyyyy it's so frustratttiiiiingngggg </3

I am too impatient for this **** xD

 

[Barbara]

Ooh that's some news at least, knowing when the Direct is. ^^ It's quite a while from now, but I suppose it does make the wait easier since you'll only have to be excited for a month, instead of two or even longer.

Okay I give up looking does anybody know what series of cards includes Beau? I read it was series 2 but I can't see him in the catalogue? Just want clarification before I start buying any packets

He is in series 2

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

He is in series 2

Thank you! Just couldn't see him anywhere (and still can't so I'm obviously just too tired to be looking at these things today). Just didn't want to buy the wrong series will order them now!

Any idea when we'll get a list of amiibo cards?

I'm hoping a few weeks before release like HHD amiibo Cards

 

[KeatAlex]

Guess stores are preparing for the update. Just purchased 2 Tom Nooks and a Mable Amiibo for $3 at my local store. Everything else was gone except Isabelle (except she was full price at $13)

I was just about to post about this. IM SOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS. I've always thought it was a cool feature from when I knew it was in e+ and I was hoping it would be brought back into future games. I'm so glad they've decided to use the cards for other purposes too rather than just for HHD, since some don't have HHD/don't want HHD otherwise I feel like those cards would've gone to waste. Now that this feature is being added I finally have a use for my NFC reader. I definitely think these cards move villagers into your town - as that's the role the last cards played for animal crossing e+ and it appears to do the same role but in a different way in HHD and judging by the screenshot that's definitely what they do. However, I don't think it means you can invite specials to live in your town but more like they can visit town. I guess this can give nintendo an opportunity to possibly distribute the villagers who weren't given out as DLC in HHD but were found in the games coding, so hopefully that happens! Also it gives them a huge huge opportunity to give special characters who were removed from ACNL but were in previous games a chance to reappear. For example in the screenshot you can see Wisp who was removed. Maybe there'll even be a card for Serena.. hm. I'm way too happy about this - it's beyond belief. I'll probably invite villagers that are really hard to find on here into town, which will probably be an easier method of getting them instead of waiting it out here.

unlike e+, it literally has a 2-way street, because e-reader cards were set, you couldn't record to them, but amiibo cards you can, so that will be interesting to see what if anything you can write to them for New Leaf!!

 

[N a t]

So, if we basically save a villagers house to their card when we use it in HHD, does that mean maybe we can start designing our villagers houses in new leaf?

Please Nintendo ))

I'm not a big fan of amiibo but i'm curious about the other stuff in the update so i'm hype about the mini-direct. Has the mini-direct even aired yet?

 

[Believe]

Will I need to get some sort of external tech to read amiibo cards for the update then? I dont wanna spend more money but I mean.. if it does give a lot more benefits ill consider it. If it's just extra villagers I doubt ill invest in it ;-; and for designing homes in HHD and then transferring to ACNL, I dont even have HHD so idk but that sounds sooooo cool
