New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo Update General Discussion

[WeiMoote]

question: I heard somewhere that new leaf can "see" your HHD info if it's on the same system, and that when you scan in a card to move in a villager, their house in new leaf will be what you have it saved as in HHD? Is that true? And will it not happen if I didn't press "link HHD data" on the main menu yet? It's just that I had no idea and I got super excited and moved in Merengue right away and now I'm worried because in HHD I was just going through and meeting everyone to unlock the furniture by opening the boxes and leaving so that I could later go back through and decorate them once all items are unlocked, meaning Merengue's house might look terrible and empty??

I don't think it's true. I think their NL houses and HHD houses are separate. All the 'Link HHD Data' does is gives you the giant furniture, at least to my knowledge.

^plus hhd allows for centering items while nl doesn't. It would be impossible to transfer houses from hhd bc you couldn't move around!

 

[ClefairyKid]

ohhh yes that is very true, thank you so much! I was so worried I'd screwed up a dream villager already XD

I have a question: Which returning villagers from the Welcome amiibo cards have had their favorite song changed? I know Tasha, Wade and Bitty have, and was wondering if there are others as well.

i have question and its that i have a regular 3dsxl i wanted to know what amiibos will work with it i guess my main question is will they work with a regular 3dsxl or do i have to get a nfc reader ?

Yes, you have to get an NFC reader for non-New 3DS models. You can use any Animal Crossing Amiibo and cards, the Splatoon Amiibo, and Zelda Amiibo. Ganondorf gives you Ganon. I guess the rest give you Wolf Link, IDK.

thank you for answering my question Ras because i was just wondering when i went on Amazon i saw amiibos saying something about the wii or wii u and i didn't want to spend money on something i can't use.

Yes, you have to get an NFC reader for non-New 3DS models. You can use any Animal Crossing Amiibo and cards, the Splatoon Amiibo, and Zelda Amiibo. Ganondorf gives you Ganon. I guess the rest give you Wolf Link, IDK.

You can use Splatoon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing amiibo. Splatoon gives you the Squid Sisters or the octopus depending on the figure. Wind Waker amiibos give you Medli, Ganondorf gives you Ganon, and Zelda, Link, and Wolf Link figures give you Wolf Link. The Animal Crossing amiibo gives you the appropriate character in their RV. This includes Villager.

Animal Crossing cards are used to move a villager in and can be scanned with Wisp to obtain a random item. NPCs give you their picture, but only once. Afterwards they give you a random item.

Does anyone know which special character pics were added? I only know of Isabelle's.

All the characters have pictures. This includes the new villagers (amiibo + Sanrio) and the returning villagers as well as NPCs. Some characters even have two different pictures, such as K.K. and DJ K.K. and Isabelle in a different outfit. Basically if the character has an amiibo figure or amiibo card, they can be scanned to get a picture.

 

[Ras]

How do you get pictures from the amiibo figures? I only see the option to have them hang out. Maybe if I choose the other?

Only cards let you get pictures. Scanning an amiibo figure will have them appear in an RV in the campground and you can order exclusive items from them. Also, Wisp will temporarily replace whoever you scanned if they happen to run a shop or something.

The best of this actualitation!
I used Jeremiah's and Pietro's amiibo. I laid a lot of paths for they have their house in the same place as the others. Only left a 3x3 area without designs and it worked. Yayyyy!

Oh my god! Nice!

now that the amiibo cards are out does the wifi work at the campground?

 

[Chibiusa]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have a question regarding cycling/the cards.

I had Ankha move out a while ago but I never cycled through 16 villagers to try and get her back. If someone gives me her card, can I use it to make her move in or do I still have to cycle through 16 villagers first?

edit; found the answer.

How do you scan the new amiibo cards in that were released today??
Wisp?

Using Wi-Fi at the campground will summon a RV if there is one from the wireless router/hotspot you're trying to connect. So far, connecting to a 7-11 hotspot from Japan would cause Filly's RV to appear, at least until about mid-January. I haven't seen one anywhere else outside of the land of rising sun.

Yes. I don't know what you know, so keep in mind that you need an NFC reader if you have anything other than a New 3DS/New 3DS XL/New 2DS (if that last is a thing).

I bought three packs with no duplicates! I wanted Vivian and Dobie. I got Vivian. Plus, Ike, who looks to have furniture I need. Now, I want Dobes and Ketchup!
