Nintendo just announced a new series of amiibo cards (series 5)

[-Blue-]

So is it possible the series 5 will be the RV cards but this time without the RVs and just full body like the other series cards?

 

[TillyGoesMeow]

eeeep im really excited for the possibility of new villagers and hopefully bow and meow (i love smmm)

I hope it's available for non-US countries, or just Asian countries for that matter. I had to buy my Series 1-4 cards second-hand.

I'd be interested if this potentially brought back some of the villagers who have been lost to time, as others have mentioned. I'd move Pigleg and Quetzal onto my island as quickly as possible if they were to return. Withholding any excitement or anticipation until things are fully revealed though, as I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

Possible, but unlikely. There was a data mine from a while ago that showed that nintendo made room in the game code for 100 new cards. If the RV cards were part of series 5, Nintendo wouldn't have to make room for them, since their data already exists in the game.

I hope Nintendo brings these long lost villagers back

If we get brand new villagers, I realllyyyyyy hope for a ninth villager type rather than ten more of the ones we already know so well

I thought WA was considered series 5?

 

[Calysis]

More personality types would be so rad, but tbh I'd be happier with them adding a lot more dialogue for the current personalities!

Welcome Amiibo only had 50 cards as opposed to series 1-4's typical 100 cards per series. WA cards were RV styled as well; they weren't in the usual style of series 1-4. ^^

this is such exciting news! I definitely hope we get the new acnh villagers and the old lost villagers! maybe even some new new villagers, that would be extra nice but I don’t want to get my hopes up lol so I’ll just wait and see what happens when they announce it.

 

[a potato]

Something definitely has to be added. I mean, there are the new ACNH NPCs that need cards too, so that brings it up to around 15(? I'm not counting, lol) and if you take old characters with new designs into account, that's maybe 20? That still doesn't seem like enough. I'd love for them to release new villagers, though. Maybe that's why only 8 were introduced at launch. and obligatory I hope the Nintendo villagers return

 

[Sgt.Groove]

C'mon Tarou... just want the lad back o-o

They're Series S ...

If you look on the official catalog on the official Animal Crossing amiibo site, the RV cards were considered to be a different set. They also have their own set of numbers. Unlike the Series 1-4 which continues from 1 to 400.

I'm not sure this a fair comparison, but the possibility of bringing back old villagers kind of reminds me of how they brought back every character for Smash Ultimate, and that seemed to be a big hit with the fans.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to create more new villagers though because the better graphics allow for more details and design freedom than they had in the past.

I think by my count there's 23 "new" characters for NH; Isabelle (island outfit), Nook (island outfit) Timmy/Tommy (island outfit), Harvey, Wilbur, Orville, Flick, CJ, Wisp, Redd (in a different outfit or on his boat), Label (her old card says Labelle and she has a new outfit in NH), Daisy May, Lloid, Guillivaar plus the 8 villagers.
This of course doesn't mean they couldn't do other characters like the OK Motors guys or old NPCs like Serena or Kaitlin or some other new NPC they could introduce.
I have a distinct feeling that the Welcome Amiibo cards are gonna be folded into this set. I wonder if they'll change the artwork on the cards though.

Its hard to say if they'd do characters that were exclusive to the cards though. The Sanrio ones were like that, but that was also a separate corporate promotion.

Hopefully they'll have learned/COVID problems wont affect the production of them and they'll have a bunch in stock when the release them

Who is to say that the RV card villagers can't be in the series 5 set? They can't have RVs anymore so they could just do full body renders. And so they still have 50 other slots for the remainder. Or it could be the new NH villagers and just be a small set like Sanrio. I think shooting people down before we know what it really is going to detail is jumping the gun.


Also what's going on with the Series 1-4 sets? I thought they came back, but like I can't find any store (Target) nearby that has them in stock and online is all out of stock. Did they already get scalped lol?

Wow, I just ordered a pack of Series 1 and 2 from Target last night. Earlier I had one of all four, but by the time I got ready to check out, Series 3 and 4 sold out.

 

[MhmmCheeseburger]

I hope they will be easier to get than the recent releases…

Yeah that's what I am saying lol. I was about to buy 1 of each series and could only get 1 pack of series 1 lol.

Considering the Amiibo series 1-4 just recently got reprinted and are already out of stock, I would say expect the same situation. If not due to scalpers due to people panic hoarding.
