Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival

Siliconera tried out the Blathers and Celeste amiibo in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, and found out a rather neat detail about them.

Just like in the mainline games, Blathers and Celeste stay asleep during in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, even if you’re playing as one of them. When comes their turn, they wake up suddenly and… go back to sleep as soon as their turn is over. The only exception is nightime, when they both stay awake all the time.
