It looks like those rumoured amiibo NFC cards are actually real, but not being used in the way we expected.
At today’s Nintendo Direct, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer was announced. The 3DS title will use new, Animal Crossing-themed amiibo cards. Said cards will scan and insert characters into the title.
At the same time, a new amiibo reader will be released that will add amiibo functionality to the old-school 3DS and 3DS XL.
Expect the game, the new cards and the amiibo reader this spring.
