Seems like Nintendo is fairly confident that the Animal Crossing spin-off Happy Home Designer will do well in Japan. The company announced today that the first shipment of the game will consist of 500,000 units. This includes both the regular version of the game as well as the one that will be bundled with the NFC reader. Both versions will come with one amiibo card.

Recently, both Splatoon and Fire Emblem Fates were basically sold out in Japan in their first couple of weeks on the market. It’ll be interesting to see how well Happy Home Designer does and if Nintendo calculated the demand appropriately this time.

Bandai is releasing a Denpa Men card game in Japan. Starting from August 8th, booster packs containing six cards each will be available in stores. However, it’s not just a simple card game – each card contains a code that can be redeemed in the 3DS game Denpa Ningen no RPG Free to get Denpa Men and free items.

Since Denpa Ningen no RPG Free is currently Japan-only, a release of the card game in the West seems fairly unlikely, unfortunately.
