Hey everyone! Just wondering, how do you know if a home in the showcase is from a Nintendo person, or someone you walked by? I got someone named Lindsey from Autumn, idk if I met them through Nintendo or what.
I think any house that's spotpassed has to be from Nintendo directly. You'll know it was spotpass because the lights are blue instead of green (like streetpass).
You'd probably get a green dot on your AC icon, on your StreetPass Mii Plaza and a green notification. SpotPass people are a blue dot on your AC icon. Also, most Nintendo people's towns are before June 9th.
If you pass someone through streetpass that has ACNL it will be in your notifications, you pick up their mii character in your plaza and their ACNL house automatically gets added to your Happy home showcase as well you will get a notification for this also. I only know this because I finally picked up 2 houses through streetpass yesterday while doing my grocery shopping.
