– Pick from an ever increasing selection of wall materials, roof types, doors and fences
– Next, you can decorate the inside and outside of the home
– Choose from features such as swimming pools or sand pits
– The catalog of furniture and house styles is limited to begin with
– After taking a request from a critter, the relevant “set” for the request becomes available
– Clients will have a number of items awaiting unboxing when you begin a redesign that must be incorporated into the overall design
– Study “courses” at your desk
– Exchange these for play coins
– Courses can teach you the ability to add more forms of decorations to your home designs, such as “ceiling decorations”
– After fulfilling a request and the critter in question is satisfied, they move into their new home and your job is complete

– Furniture doesn’t need to be bought, bells don’t need to be spent, and your only worry is running out of floor space
– Use an Animal Crossing amiibo card to make an animal instantly available for a home re-model
– Cards also act as a gateway to invite animals into other animals homes or public facilities
– Ex: while visiting Teddy after a successful remodel, scanning in Stitches would see him drop by for a visit

Funeral services for Satoru Iwata have been held for the past couple of days in Japan. According to The Wall Street Journal, they were attended by thousands of people.

Here’s a look at the site’s report:

Thousands of admirers and business associates gathered in Kyoto to say a final farewell to Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo Co. president who died of cancer on Saturday at age 55.

The Kyoto-based company held two days of funeral services for Mr. Iwata according to Japanese custom. At a temple, people wearing black and carrying umbrellas because of a nearby typhoon lined up to pass his coffin. Some even carried a Nintendo 3DS handheld game machine, which was introduced by Mr. Iwata.

Nintendo said more than 2,600 people attended in the first day, and 1,500 came on the second day.

Delivering a eulogy Friday, Mr. Takeda said that he and Mr. Miyamoto would strive to complete the work that Mr. Iwata started. Mr. Takeda said the seeds that Mr. Iwata planted would one day grow into flowers “that will make people around the world smile.”
