Nintendo just launched the first set of Animal Crossing amiibo cards in Japan. Primarily, these are intended for use in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, which also just released in the territory.

amiibo supply has been an issue since Nintendo began shipping figures last year. Unfortunately, these new cards appear to be running into the same type of problem. Nintendo took to its Japanese Twitter account today to apologize for the scarcity of the Animal Crossing amiibo cards in stores. More stock is expected next week.

Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale only just launched in Japan last month. Despite this, a new game in the series is seemingly in the works.

A fan in Japan picked up the strategy guide for Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale, which reveals that the franchise’s next game is already being made. It’s supposed to be like the 1998 PlayStation title Poporogue. Apparently, it’s also stated in the guide: “(The next game) has many new species”.

So that’s some interesting news. We don’t know if the new game will be on a Nintendo platform, but given how A Story of Seasons Fairytale is for 3DS, there’s a decent shot of it happening.
