Spooky bookcase (pumpkin series), confirmed not...
Mush closet, confirmed not…
Gorgeous chest, confirmed not...
Regal dresser, confirmed not...
Sweets dresser, confirmed not...
Picnic table, confirmed not...
Patchwork dresser, confirmed not...
Sweets player, confirmed to stay on ground despite being a 1x1 item
Yut board still too big to be put on something, like the previous.

OK, WE FINISHED!

Can anyone tell me if when you start the game after downloading the update it gives you the option to reset the date? I haven't played in over a year and I don't want to lose my dreamies.

I just realised something... The update is called ACNL 1.4... Wait, what? Didn't we skip a few numbers? If I remember correctly, before the update, it was written "Version 1.1" on the title screen. So, what happened with 1.2 and 1.3? lol

You won't be able to change the date

Thanks. I just bit the bullet and played it anyway. No one left I'm so lucky!

Lucky! You always could've changed the internal clock of the 3DS btw

To anyone else getting frustrated with the Puzzle League mini game: I discovered that you can beat Story Mode without an amiibo character (I just did it on the hard setting)! Even though it feels like the game is mocking you the whole time, and during the many attempts to complete you feel that you want to fire Isabelle out of a canon into another town, because she's a smug little muppet who shows no respect for her boss - you, the actual MAYOR of the whole TOWN!!!

Some things that I discovered that helped me get an edge over Isabelle and Cornimer:

* The three practice stages where you build up support don't give you a combined total of support. I legit only just figured that out yesterday, so it might only be me who didn't get how that worked until now, d'oh. The final support percentage actually only comes from the 3rd practice game, the previous two don't add to the total. So I made sure I played super well in the third practice run to get the best support total possible to take into the 'boss' game. The best I achieved on hard was 34% (sigh), but every bit helps.

* The wipeout special move is target specific! Whatever line your cursor is on when you press Y to active it, is the line that will be destroyed. Again, I only just realised this yesterday..I had previously thought the wipeout line was just random. When I figured out you can pick which line to remove, it helped set up chains and combos much more easily.


Now to figure out what the heck I'm doing in Desert Island Escape.. >_<

 

[lars708]

Thanks for the info TrickiLicky! Do you also happen to know what exactly determines the support percentage after each practice stage? I don't really get how that works...

 

[Villager Fan]

Never mind.

 

[HopeForHyrule]

I'm sorry if this has already been conclusively answered, but will villagers that you move in via the Amiibo cards offer to move out on their own? I've read a LOT of conflicting info on this subject, and I'd love to know for sure.

And also if I'll need to buy new cards to get the few villagers I moved in with cards to LEAVE.

Has anyone else had trouble scanning their amiibos into the game? I've been using all my Zelda and AC ones no problem and yesterday Wisp has started refusing my Link amiibo for no reason. I've used it 2 or 3 times to order furniture from Wolf Link's RV so it definitely works. My wireless communications are on and everything, other ones still work but whenever I scan Link Wisp just says something like "are you sure you're scanning an Animal Crossing amiibo". Anyone got any ideas about what this means or how I can get around it?

 

[lars708]

That's very strange, I haven't come across any issues with my amiibo figures or cards yet. I mean I have seen the message you are talking about as I tried to look for other compatible figures but all the ones that are supposed to work actually work for me.

I think the percentage increases every time you clear a set of blocks. Both combos (clearing more than 4 matching blocks at once) and chains (when a clear causes other blocks to fall and cause even more clears) will definitely raise your support percentage much higher as opposed to just lining up 3 matching blocks.

 

[Dorian]

I was using the wrong side of the scanner when this happened to me.

 

[Jade_Amell]

I'm still waiting for the Sanrio cards to arrive. And then I'm going to play a survivor game with the villagers I have in my town. Lol.

You have to scan it exactly with the circle code onto the 3ds. I got my My Melody Amiibo today ^ The Japanese version but I'm still very happy ♥

Can villagers change their wallpaper now? I had a couple different ones ask to trade for mine, I said no, but afterwards I realized I don't recall them asking before the update.

It's so annoying, literally have one item left to get from Wolf Link. Have you found anything about this anywhere else? I've had a look and haven't seen anything

Is there anything new or cool in ac:wa to do besides the amiibo cards and campground?
