Animal Crossing

In response to significant issues being found in the latest update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo has announced that they are working to address the bugs in a future update.

Animal Crossing

The Animal Crossing franchise is officially 20 years old. In Japan, the series first debuted on April 14, 2001.

Animal Crossing first started out as an N64 title, which was Japan-exclusive. It received an updated version on the GameCube at the end of 2001, with a worldwide release happening later.

The latest Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, came to Switch last March.

It’s been nearly a week now since the big Nintendo leak involving game prototypes, source code, and more. But discoveries pertaining to some of the companies older games continue to emerge, and if you’re a fan of history or some of the Big N’s classics, you might be interested in some of the latest findings.

If you’re interested in getting the Animal Crossing amiibo cards right now, you might be out of luck. They’re pretty much impossible to come by regardless of your region. That includes Japan, where the only place to obtain any cards seems to be auction sites. And of course, the asking price there is incredibly high.

The good news is, at least in Japan, Nintendo says it has plans to restock amiibo cards. All series will be available aside from the special Sanrio collaboration series.

Animal Crossing amiibo cards are compatible with New Horizons. After scanning an amiibo, players can place models in creative photo shoots. A poster of the character can also be ordered from Nook Shopping. Not all characters work currently, but Nintendo has said future updates will support more villagers.
