The Animal Crossing amiibo cards work with the recently-released Happy Home Designer, and some can even be scanned in with Super Mario Maker. Also, they’ll be compatible with Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. That won’t be the end of their use apparently.

In an info card included with Happy Home Designer, Nintendo says that additional compatible games will be announced in the future. We’re not sure what’s planned, but it’s always nice to see amiibo extended to more titles.

Oh, and in case you needed a reminder, Nintendo reconfirms that a total of four Animal Crossing amiibo card series are planned. Each series is comprised of 100 cards.

The Mii Fighters amiibo were just recently confirmed as a Toys “R” Us exclusive in the United States. Thankfully, supply shouldn’t be an issue. Stock numbers thus far are averaging to around 100 units, with one store in California even receiving 200 copies of the 3-pack.

This month, Nintendo is bringing out the Animal Crossing amiibo cards Collectors Album in Europe. No such item has been announced for North America, but we’re hearing that Nintendo has started handing out something similar to fans.

Below you’ll find photos of the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer amiibo Card Collector’s Book. This has been given out to attendees at certain Nintendo events (like the GameStop event for Yoshi’s Woolly World this weekend). It holds 104 cards: 100 card slots and four extras.

As of now, the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer amiibo Card Collector’s Book is only available in the United States.

Although some amiibo are losing their retailer exclusivity in North America, a new set of upcoming figures will be sold at just one store. It turns out that the amiibo for the Mii Fighters will be distributed at only Toys “R” Us. That information is based on the image above, which is a photo snapped from a display.

All of the Mii Fighters are scheduled for November 1. You’d have to think that after a few months have passed, the amiibo will be available at other retailers as well.
