Sanrio crossover?

[daringred_]

not surprised but certainly glad. sent this to my girlfriend (she loves sanrio and had several of the villagers in NL), and she lost her mind. personally i'm only interested in some of the clothes, but that's enough for me. also are the rugs new? i think there was only a kiki/lala one in NL if any. i don't recognize the others.

hopefully this opens the door for the other crossover villagers to be introduced. i miss my boy felyne, and i need him in HD.

Eh....I am not too familiar with this crossover, but I will say that some of the Furniture sets look pretty amazing, but there is one thing. You actually need to have those Sanrio Amiibo cards in order to get the furniture. This is troubling because if you have to pay money just to get the new content I can see this being a problem. I hope there is a way to still get the furniture sets without having the actual amiibo.

I'm indifferent on this update. While it is refreshing to see a new crossover with new villagers and furniture sets it makes me wonder if they are ever going to improve this game at all. I mean it just came out of nowhere and they mention in the trailer how its going to be a software update coming in March 18th and then by March 26th is when it will be available. Again it will most likely be time locked. So I guess all that hype for a 1 year anniversary update is not happening. I am not sure what Nintendo is doing but it seems like they would rather add new stuff to the game rather than fixing the issues that the game has.

One of my concerns is being able to get a pack... like, are they going to make enough or are they just gonna be sold out constantly. Especially if they are only releasing them with one store.
It would be nice if we could get these items and villagers in game, even if it is a long and annoying difficult process...

I'm not necessarily interested in the items or villagers themselves, but it's really nice to see the Sanrio amiibo cards come over to the US to make it less limited depending on where you live and stuff like that.
now all we need is the zelda and splatoon stuff to return.
if they do i'm cancelling my barbie dream house and making inkopolis

wait i have a question
now the sanrio villagers are back, what will happen with the posters?
will they ignore them and keep them how they are? or will they make posters of the actual villagers?

because surely they will have photos like every other villager so nintendo would have to make posters like the photos
maybe if u scan the sanrio amiibos u will get 2 posters from them:
a poster of the villager
the original sanrio posters
sorry i'm just so confused rn lol

Thats my other concern. I heard that you can only get those Sanrio amiibo cards from Target only since its an exclusive. So does that mean you need to only buy them there and not anywhere else? I'm in America and I do have a Target in my location so thats good but I am concerned for others that if they don't have a Target in their area how are they going to get the cards? Also will all this furniture that is in the update be locked behind a paywall if you don't have the cards? If thats the case I can tell thats going to make a lot of people really upset because this could be the first time that this game is getting a "paid DLC" which is pretty controversial.

Wow, really exciting news! Definitely a fab surprise. I will need to look but I know I have a few cards

For those asking about the Zelda villagers, the Mario update we're just now getting was first announced in a Mario 35th Anniversary Direct last year.

This year is Zelda's 35th anniversary, and there is some speculation (though no guarantee) that there might be a Zelda Anniversary Direct sometime this year. If the Zelda villagers were to come back, it could be mentioned if/when a Zelda Direct happens.

exactly... and another question, is it in store only or can it be target online... because online is what will help people who don't live near a target.

There's a banner on Target's website! Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to preorder.

interesting. when I go on there mine doesn't have a banner... hopefully they will give a pre order option soon... maybe they just need time to update/upload.

I might give one a call just to see if I can have them hold a pack for me. I'll just put it among some other things I planned to get and make it worthwhile for they to do so.

Hoping I can order the day of and set for in-store pickup. If not, I'll be waiting outside their doors at 8a, then hightail it to work after purchasing.

Buy the cards before it's too late people. Scalpers scalped these back in the day and they'll probably do the same again because they're scummy people.

 

[Sheep Villager]

Here come the scalpers.

Reminder that if you want a pack you're going to want to get on this immediately. The original NL sanrio cards went out really quickly and scalpers sold them for 100+ dollars.​

Eh. Not much difference between re-sellers flipping cards and Etsy vendors selling stolen product.

I mean if people want the cards, they should get them sooner than later because they're going to be scalped and be $60 or more instead of the $5 or whatever it is.

Damn these scalpers they've been causing so much trouble ever since the PS5 and Xbox Series X released. This could be a problem.....

 

[bebebese]

Any idea where will we get the cards in Europe?

I got mine from Nintendo's UK site (albeit with a po box, I'm in Ireland and they only ship to the UK/didn't ship to Ireland) back during the first print. I'd say to check all their EU domains, as most items ship from Germany anyway (I used the Spanish site to claim the dodo bag, for reference. It still used the UK po box, from what I remember). Preorder if you can because lord knows the scalpers and their bots will be all over these

If you plan on buying them, just do it soon around the release date and not wait a few months. Nintendo is famous for not making enough of stuff and scalpers capitalize on that. I wanted Fire Emblem Awakening and it was scalped and I had to wait a few years. Same thing when Pikmin 3 came out on the Wii U. I finally bite the bullet on year and just bought it and guess what? The damn game went to Game Selects for $20 the following year lol.
