New Leaf: Welcome Amiibo Update General Discussion

So hyped for this! I hope they add some small details as well. Like piles of leafs for the autumn months in which you can run around; ceiling decoration, window decoration, rugs, more pattern slots. More expensions ( would love to see the Able sisters expand and have like 8 clothes a day and 10 acessories, or fuse with kicks and make it even more amazing. More home exterior options. More garden options, more fruit, more PWP and more NPC dialogue!

Or whatabout national hollidays? I would love to see my village celebrate Kings day and dress in orange and sing along. Or make Sinterklaas (naughty or Nice day on the 6th of December in ACNL) bigger!

Or the villagers catching bugs, swimming in the ocean, hosting parties more often, giving you music, or dance and cheer along in LOL.

But I am getting ahead of the facts.. I am so glad to see the old neighbours of ACGC returning..
 
I'm kind of glad I didn't found out about the update in September else I'd have to wait even loooonger cx
 
I got amiibo cards along with the Wii U as a promo part when I got it. The amiibo cards were Stitches, Goldie, and Rosie. I also got a DJ Kk card as promo card for buying NEW nintendo 3DS Happy Home designer built in game.
Will these cards work for the upcoming updates?

I've been scouring Tumblr and Google Images just to see if any shops in Japan have broken the street date on the new cards, but so far I have found nothing. I'll keep checking throughout the next couple of days.
 
I'm confused now..so are we getting update first and then we get the cards or we getting the cards and the update at the same time..
 
Now, ACNL doesn't have to take over my life! If I just get one card of each for my dreamies, whenever they leave, I can just let them move back right away. Idk what will happen to the trading boards... Maybe a ton of bells to send a card to another person? I don't know:p

The update should go live before the cards go on sale in UK/AU/USA. Or you can buy the retail updated game from stores late November and get one series 5 Amiibo card.

2nd November Update supposedly going live
3rd November Japan releases Amiibo cards
3rd November Japan releases Sanrio/Hello Kitty collaboration Amiibo cards
10th November Australia releases Amiibo Cards
11th Novemeber UK releases Amiibo cards
23rd November Japan releases Updated New Leaf in retail stores with Amiibo update.
2nd December USA releases Amiibo Cards

Does that clarify things up AccfSally?
 
Cool for everyone living in Japan or people who have a Japanese 3DS! But we still have no date for the direct or the update in other regions...
 
Good call Daydream,

The only thing I've found so far is a GameSpot article posted on Sept 1, 2016 that says the update will arrive December 2nd. Which is also the release date of the cards for USA. I'm not sure if it's still accurate information but I do find it interesting that Australia and UK are getting their cards before USA and might be receiving the update earlier than USA too.

I know my EBgames sells pre-orders for Animal Crossing : New Leaf Amiibo Version. The date they have is the 24th of November. It would also make sense for the update to come out before the game was to be released. At this time I would guess the 2nd of November for USA...but same time I feel like something major like an update; would be released for Europe & America simultaneously.
