Do you only get one Wisp per 3DS?

Hi, I'm currently running two ACNL games on my 3DS, one downloaded the other a physical copy. I installed the ACNL Welcome amiibo update and, with the downloaded game, found Wisp very quickly. When I inserted the second, physical, game in the cartridge slot it too seemed to install the upgrade successfully but, after a few hours of gameplay, there's no sign of Wisp.

Anyone know if this is because Wisp can only appear in one game per 3DS or am I missing something? Would be grateful for any advice.

No, you get him in each copy of the game, bit sometimes he takes a little while to actually show up.

I've found it helps to go back inside your house and then back out...seemed to jumpstart him for me in my one town.

And I have four physical copies that are all used with my N3DS.

Cool. Thanks, HopeForHyrule. I'll keep trying to lure the little phantom out.

I found he won't show up in areas with lots of patterns, flowers, bushes etc, as his lamp needs to spawn on the ground. I found him on the beach as one character then by the station as another.

Yea try places where there is enough space for his genie lamp to be placed. He actually popped out at random when I wasn't looking for him. If all else fails I would try to erase some paths for the meantime and hope he appears there. Good luck getting him he is so cute!^-^

Nope you get him for each copy of your game. It just takes awhile for him to pop up if you have a full town

Thanks, guys - Wisp found! I was wandering around a fairly dense area of tress and flowers and he popped up - well, spoke to me.

Am I right in assuming that only mayors get him? I have other residents in my town and none of them have found him yet.

Don't know if this relates to your situation but, if you have two (in my case) "human" players, he'll find both. He snagged me on a bridge first, then in an orchard for the 2nd.

All players living in your town can find Wisp and get the lamp. Only one wish for the whole town per day.
Last night the mayor invited an amiibo in. Later I tried with my 2nd player and Wisp said someone already made a wish. One per day sorry.
