amiibo: Animal Crossing spin-off, new figures, cards, adapter and more

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a spin-off of the Animal Crossing series, on the Nintendo 3DS. It is compatible with the very first set of amiibo cards, which will be launched this Fall. This game focused on the decorating and home-designing aspects of the series, in which you have to design and decorate the home for various animals. If you scan an amiibo card, you can create a home for that specific character, and scan additional cards to invite other animals.

Here’s some screenshots and pictures of the cards / NFC Adapter:

amiibo Touch & Play: Nintendo Classics Highlights

amiibo Touch & Play: Nintendo Classics Highlights (known as amiibo Tap: Nintendo Greatest Bits in North America) is a free app allowing you to play special highlights from famous Nintendo games (NES and SNES), but only for 3 minutes. You can scan an amiibo to try out another highlight. When you do so the first time, you don’t know from which game the highlights will be. The app will be released in May, worldwide.
