Prices?

Does anyone know what the cards, the card reader, and the actual game will cost? (In Canadian dollars, but I can convert if needed)

Every shop will have its own pices depending on game version, continent, country and area but let's ask amazon for a cheap estimate: http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Crossing-Happy-Home-Designer-3DS/dp/B00ZS2HFVW

Thanks!
I don't think the cards have the correct price, otherwise they cost more than the game. But I did hear they're $2.50 for a pack of three.
And then the actual game is $40... Does that include the card reader? If not, does anyone know what that might cost?

Nintendo of America will release the game in two ways so far:

- Game alone ($39.99, not confirmed but very likely, despite New Leaf launching at $34.99. The game has enough content to be priced at full retail though so I wouldn't be surprised)
- Game with NFC reader (No price confirmed yet, obviously more than $39.99 nonetheless)

There is no news on whether or not they will bring the New Nintendo 3DS XL bundle to the states yet. Also, we really shouldn't be taking Japan's prices when considering ours since prices can always vary. I wouldn't be surprised if NoA changed anything up last minute, but for what we have right now, it seems plausible.

Okay, thank you!

I was thinking $40 would fit the game pretty well for a spin off of its nature. You could honestly add this as an alternate mode to the original game as DLC considering it's running the same engine.

Have you seen any gameplay videos yet? It couldn't be an add on at it's size!

Sure! But I was more talking about it's functionality, really.

Looking at the link, that's a pack of Japanese amiibo cards being sold through Amazon by another retailer, so the price for the pack is probably reflective of the fact that they'd be considered an import.

I'm guessing the North American cards will cost a lot less for us (as in, normal-type prices, not tricksy import prices). In fact, I'm banking on it. I'mma' try to score me a whole box o' cards! ...If not two whole boxes.

In Japan, the MSRP is 300 yen + tax for 3 cards and about 1500 + tax for a pack of 5 3-packs. However, since the preorders have already completely sold out, online retailers are now basically selling everything for two times or more the MSRP (which is what you see in that link). So, you're probably looking at around $1 per card if you can get them at a normal price.
