New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo Update General Discussion

I'm not understanding the coupons. What are town initiatives? ( sorry if this has already been explained).

It's basically like getting mini badges. You know how you have to do something a certain amount of times to get a badge? Like pop 50 balloons, or catch 100 fish? It's like that, except now it's more like 'work as a barista at the roost', or 'catch 20 fish by Monday' or 'catch an orchid mantis'. Once you complete the task, you get coupons, which you can use to buy new items from animals visiting in the campsite.
 
heyy also does any1 know how 2 play the minigames that u can apparently play from amiibo festival? i have a new 3ds but i dont see the option anywhere what in the hek


You can only play the game if u have a Wii U in your home. You can get a Wii U from fortune cookies or order them from villager trailers.
 
I'm not sure if this was already in version 1.1 (if so it never happened to me), but I just spotted Bangle, who is in my 16 villager cycle, dancing at the Club LOL. So far I had only seen actual villagers of my town

Sorry if it's not new though!
 
Ok so I just read this manual in the game. On page 17, Harvey's campground it says you can invite characters to the campsite by cards and USING THE INTERNET. Does anyone know what that means?
It means you can connect online and download a villager to move into the Campground. Like how the DLC items with the Post Office works or the DLC villagers in HHD. So expect DLC campers/villagers in the future!
 
I haven't been online in MONTHS but I HAD to log in to see if everyone else was freaking out as much as I was and OH MY GOD I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS UPDATE

mine's downloading as i type this!! can anyone give me a super quick run-down of what's included? i know about sitting on rocks, hanging clothes on the wall, shaking trees while carrying tools.... and I hear there's an RV site? and you can restart your town? and HHA amiibo cards? does anyone have the time and excitement to elaborate?
 
Where is Harvey's campsite? It looked like quite a big area and I was wondering whether it messes with your town at all.
 
Animal Crossing Update tl;dr

Idk if this has been compiled yet, but I made this for the Animal Crossing Line chat, so I thought it would be helpful to copypasta it here ~

FYI everyone if you reset your town they have added MORE rocks.

I've had a few potentially good new towns but all of them have maybe 5 more rocks than usual.

I guess we have more places to sit. Lazy mayors?! ;)

I STG Nintendo is trolling us. This update has me so upset. :( I didn't care before, because I thought it would be optional, but it's really not, and all the dreams are gone.
 
Is this for items or villagers? I'm going to be really mad if my Wolf Link amiibo gives me someone else.

i've heard pretty consistently that Ganondorf gives Ganon, Wolf Link gives Wolf Link
the rest of the zelda amiibo might be 100% random, though I suspect all the wind waker amiibo give Medli
 
Does anyone know if the older games villagers whom are returning will be in the series 4 cards?
 
im loving the hhd furniture arranging :) so much easier!

I'm very disappointed with the hhd furniture arranging. I was hoping they'd allow you to take from and put items away using your storage, but you have to have all the items in the room before you can move them. It makes the feature pretty much useless to me.
