With Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s new update, Nintendo added in compatibility with a bunch of amiibo. In the English Animal Crossing Direct broadcast earlier today, we heard about the likes of Splatoon and Zelda. However, in the Japanese presentation, the recently-released Monster Hunter Stories figures were specifically mentioned as well.

Even though Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories amiibo are only being sold in Japan currently, they’re actually compatible with the English version of New Leaf. The text has been localized and everything. If you’ve imported any of the figures, they should work!

Laura Kate Dale from Lets Play Video Games may have some knowledge about Switch’s launch. She’s heard from a source that the PAL date is currently set for March 17 – meaning the day it would be out across Europe and Australia. As for other territories, while the release date won’t be uniform in all regions, Nintendo intends to ship Switch within the same week. Japan may have it a few days earlier.

Dale’s information comes from the same source who informed her about Switch’s reveal trailer date before it was made known. Gamers are advised to take today’s rumor with a grain of salt, though she believes what she’s heard is accurate.

The only window Nintendo shared for Switch’s launch thus far is March 2017. A final date will be known during the system’s blowout presentation on January 12.
