Nintendo will be releasing an update for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer in Japan next month. Once applied, players will be able to take advantage of new network functions.

The update makes it possible to show houses you’ve made to others. Additionally, these players can visit your room and give it a rank. Searching by different rankings is also possible.

It’s not yet known when the update will be available in the west, though we have several weeks to go before Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer launches overseas in any case.

Have you been experiencing any issues/errors while playing Splatoon over the past day or so? Well, it’s not entirely out of the ordinary.

Errors were something that Nintendo was somewhat prepared for. Actually, Nintendo mentioned this on the company’s Japanese Twitter account last night.

If you’re encountering errors, you should try resetting your Wii U. That’s definitely the first step you should take. If you’re still seeing issues for whatever reason, try reentering your connection settings on the console or rebooting your router. All should hopefully be fixed by taking these steps!

Thanks to John for the tip.
