In the upcoming Animal Crossing spin-off game Happy Home Designer it will be quite easy to share screenshots from the game. In addition to sharing pictures via various social media sites, which was something you could do in New Leaf, it will also be possible to post directly to Miiverse from within the game without having to return to the home menu. While this is a common feature in Wii U games these days, it hasn’t been used in a 3DS game before.
