Animal Crossing: New Leaf – New updates available in Japan, Europe, North America (Ver. 1.5)

Update: the updates for Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Welcome amiibo) are now available for download in North America!

Earlier this month, Nintendo released the long-awaited update for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which adds quite a lot of content along with amiibo support. Unfortunately, it looks like it also added a couple of bugs. One of them impacts users who somehow managed to get items they’re not supposed to get during a normal playthrough, and it will not be fixed.

There’s also a glitch that nets you a [004 – 6006] error when trying to download presents or campers from the internet. The good news is that this glitch has already been taken care of: the latest Software update for the game fixes it.

Here’s the patchnotes for update Ver. 1.5 for Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo:

• fixes error resulting in a [004 – 6006]  error code when downloading presents or campers
• introduces additional enhancements to improve the user’s experience and enjoyment

To download this update, you have several options:

• select Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Welcome amiibo) from the Home Menu of your Nintendo 3DS while being connected to the internet: you should get a prompt when doing so. Simply follow the instructions on the screen;
• search for Animal Crossing: New Leaf on the Nintendo eShop, and select the update;
• use the option in the Nintendo eShop settings.

Important! There is an update for each game:
