A preview of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer from Nintendo Life shares the latest details about the game. You’ll find an information summary below.

– Game features a hub like the City found from the Animal Crossing: City Folk
– Your office is here, and it’s where the action is
– There are public facilities like restaurants, shops and hospitals that can be built over time
– These are managed by your assistant Isabel
– Hub expands as you progress

– Animals are random
– They can be found wandering the central hub
– Approach them and accept their request to initiate the project
– Set up a meeting in your office in order to advance the process
– First need to choose a section of the map
– Each has their own terrain and characteristics
Ex: may choose to give your customer a lovely beachside home or one that sits on the edge of a river bank
– Can choose the “Season” as well
– Let an animal live in all-round scorching summer or perpetual winter
– Can then begin designing the actual house
– 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
– Have a “working day” instead of the “real-time clock” system
– Once your tasks are complete, day turns to night
– You can choose to end the working day
– Greater control over your appearance from the start
– Choose skin color, animal’s clothes, assign “roles”
– Certain animals can be chosen to teach in the nearby school, or work behind the counter in the café
– Arrange homes and public buildings into miniature diorama like scenes
– The animals will accept any design created for them
– When designing a home, there is virtually no limit to what you can do
– 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.”
