As Nintendo has gotten in the habit of making their games easier, ACNL with or without the amiibo update has been a bit easier than the rest of the series. At the same time, they raised the difficulty on some features to make them harder.
One thing I noticed that is much easier in ACNL than before was obtaining the golden axe. In previous games, getting the golden axe was a lot harder (I'm looking at you red turnip trade). Now all you need to do is buy 50 saplings. It always has been the hardest tool to get. But now it's the easiest to get.
On a related note, getting the golden shovel is a lot harder than before. In Wild World and City Folk, it was the easiest golden tool to get (heck, it's not even a challenge). Now it's impossible to get if you can't pass Gracie's fashion checks. And even if you do, you still have to buy 50 bags of fertilizer. And shopping is a bit harder than burying and waiting 24 hours.
