Amiibo

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!

We’ll have a better idea about what Miitopia is after the latest Nintendo Direct airs on Saturday. Even with the Japanese eShop preview, it’s still not entirely clear. It does at least give off the vibes of action and adventure.

Also, with one of the videos included in Miitopia’s preview, it appears that amiibo support will be included. As you can see with the screenshot we’ve taken above, the amiibo logo is featured quite heavily. It’s not an official confirmation, but it wouldn’t make much sense for it to be there if Nintendo didn’t have some plans for its integration.
