New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo Update General Discussion

I am so so sorry if this was already answered but I'm in too much of a frantic panic and crying mode that I just need an answer ASAP. I bought WAY too many valuable villagers in the past and I see that the update is taking me to when it's snowy....I left off the game on THANKSGIVING...TWO YEARS AGO! (I TT, lol)....will some of my villagers be moved out? Or will it preserve them? I am WAY TOO SCARED TO EVEN TOUCH THE GAME NOW. T___T Someone help!! Thank you!!

I've not yet heard of anyone having villagers move out despite returning from a long break. Best thing you can do is back up the save file to a computer, loading the game and crossing your fingers :/
 
It's such a cute update! I'm hoping later on in another update you'll be able to unlock different skins for the CAT machine though, it seems to not fit everyone's town aesthetic... I love the campsite though!!!!
 
okay i don't know if this is related to the update but i unlocked Katrina's shop not too long ago and today after she told me my lucky item she offered me the tingle hood.So my question is it related to update or has she always offered the tingle hood and is it a one time thing or does she offer other things?

That's been possible even before the update, so I wouldn't think it's related to it. You can also get a celebration hat from her! http://moridb.com/items/hats/celebration-hat
 
Why does this update come at such a yucky time...
I'm about to move to Alola. How am I ever going to combine that with being mayor?

Maybe a dumb question but I'd like to move in a villager but I am at capacity and I don't have that villager's amiibo... will the option to kick someone out work with regular camp site villager or with asking someone to move in from another town? Or is it just specific to the villagers you ask from using Wisp?
Also, is Wisp the only way to ask a villager to move in from an amiibo card? Harvey has the wifi option in the rv park but when you ask him it doesn't work. Does it start working once you find Wisp?
 
So, my preferred playstyle involves time travel. My towns are all set to different months in different years. What I'm wondering is whether the update forces your in-game clock to the current date? That is the impression I'm getting, but figured I may as well get confirmation. If so, I hope people are right that no villagers leave because I don't want to have to track dream villagers down again.

FOR REAL. I'm going to enjoy this update for two weeks before taking a two-month break. Sigh.

I think the option to kick out villagers is only for the amiibo villagers. I haven't tried otherwise but it seems to be the way. & yes wisp is the only way to move in from an amiibo card. As for the wifi, no one knows what that does yet since it's always down for some reason.
 
could somebody link me to the page where all the new camp cards are? thank you.
 
So.. When ''kicking'' out a villager, they go into boxes right? They don't just.. Vanish, right?

Yes, when you choose to kick out a villager they will instantly be in boxes and leave the next day. What happens is the amiibo villager "asks to take their place" and has them move out. I'm not sure if it can fail, however, because there's a small little transition while they "go ask" and when it fades back in they go "success!" which leads me to believe that if a villager is attached to the town they might not want to leave.

I find it funny because I had an unwanted move in last night when I wanted an amiibo villager to move in so I kicked the brand new villager out. The villager I wanted stated "she was planning to move anyway" even though she had just moved in. :p

Thanks for the reply! Can't wait to see what Harvey's wifi thingamabob does hehe~
 
Puzzle League is pretty fun. It helps that you have infinite continues, though. Isabelle in particular is rough.
 
I just discovered you can't visit a friend without the Welcome amiibo update. That's kind of lame, in my opinion. I want to keep my pre-update New Leaf for my second town.
 
I've seen some posts elsewhere that it looks like Amiibo villagers won't plot on QR paths?

Also, does anyone know if the 16 villager cycle is still in place after the update? I can't test it as I have all the villagers I want in town

This is funny because ACNL came out shortly before X/Y.

Pokemon's gotta eliminate the competition!

As stupid as this question may seem, it's actually very important to me and my frustrated decorative plans, so please someone answer me! :) Just to know if this update of the game resolves any of those frustrations...

Cabana dresser, confirmed to work now!
Kitchen island, confirmed yes!
Exotic chest, confirmed yes!
Gorgeous chest, confirmed not...
Blue bookcase, confirmed yes!

There are some furniture that look like you could put things on them, but you actually can't (like dressers, short wardrobes or libraries). Can someone check this out for me, please? Ones that I remember right now were the mush closet, patchwork dresser, sweets dresser, regal dresser and picnic table. Thanks in advance! :)
