Nintendo goes all out for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer this October

Nintendo Australia today advised of new products surrounding the launch of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer this October.

“At launch, a limited number of copies of the game sold in stores will come with one special amiibo card that allows the player to call up the card’s character and let their imagination run wild designing a house for them,” Nintendo said in a press release.

“Additional amiibo cards will be sold separately in packs of three. Out of these three, one card will always be a special amiibo card, meaning it features a character whose house you won’t be able to build without using its amiibo card. Each card can be used across multiple copies of the game, so they’re perfect for collecting and trading with friends.”

Moreover, a console bundle will be offered with the game, including a digital copy of the title alongside a New 3DS XL with a special Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer-themed cover design.
