There aren't any amiibos of villagers, they're all of special characters like Isabelle, Tom Nook, Blathers, etc.
I'm so unbelievably excited for this game and moreso than any other game in a long time. the hard part is getting to that March 20 date! (but we waited so long, it'll pass fast)
I don't know what use they will have in the NH game but in NL you could ask them to live in your town
Oh true lol. I didn't even think of that :D
In other news, I just preordered digitally because I'm a chump. In my defense, I didn't do this for like at least 2 years until this happened.
Yup, the only amiibo figurines in the Animal Crossing series are:
- Blathers
- Celeste
- Cyrus
- Digby
- Isabelle (Summer/Winter)
- K.K Slider
- Kapp'n
- Kicks
- Lottie
- Mabel
- Reese
- Resetti
- Rover
- Timmy and Tommy
- Tom Nook
These are all special characters which means you can't move them in. All move-in villagers are available through cards.
Judging from the compatibility chart, the amiibo x ACNL Welcome Amiibo collabs will not be present.I don't know what use they will have in the NH game but in NL you could ask them to live in your town
Same! But only 26 days to go! February went by pretty fast, imo. March will be rough but we're so close, tho!
lucky for some of you guys. I pre-ordered the ACNH themed switch but I feel it's going to be delayed until sometime in April...
Are they going to reissue the series 1-4 cards? I'm sure their prices on Ebay are just gonna continue to get nuts from here on out.
Series 1-4 and welcome amiibo are getting a rerun in Japan at least, in the My Nintendo store.
EDIT: they are already sold out :o https://store.nintendo.co.jp/category/AMIIBO/

Yikes, here's hoping they get restocked soon.
Do Japanese Amiibo Cards work fine on non-Japanese hardware?
That chart doesn't mention the non-AC amiibos.
Sorry this has probably been addressed already a million times, still going through the thread:
1. My wife and son can play together with their own Switch locally or online....but they can't share an island...correct?
The only way they can share an island and play together is on the same console with the split screen follow the leader thing?
Correct. Two systems = two islands no living together or sharing same island, co-op via local wireless or Internet.
One system = shared island. No option for two islands. Couch co-op via follow the leader. They can change who is the leader in game on the fly as well.
Correct, but also no split screen. You kinda follow each other around
Oh sorry, got confused with collab characters and Sanrio collab characters.
thanks guys.
do you think there might be a mechanic to invite other real players to live on your island (like you can eventually invite npc villagers to your island?)
from my understanding, the whole reason for island sharing across profiles on one system was to protect the save system.
so obviously they don't have a problem with gamers sharing the same island in terms of gameplay, so what would prevent them from allowing profiles on different systems sharing an island?
No, because this would either require a) some kind of server system, or b) the person who has the local version of the island to be online at all times to make it accessible to the other players. It's a Minecraft Realms situation and there's no way Nintendo is going to do that.
Whew what a game. Went from not wanting it, to watching the direct and pre-ordering. I have very fond memories of AC on the DS
Yep, all region amiibo work fine. A JP region amiibo is the only way to get the Monster Hunter villager in New Leaf, actually.
I think it's best to just try and find that on your own, probably how most people found their favorite villagers is they just grew to like them over the months they spent playing the game.
I'd be happy with blue or orange out of those. I actually wouldn't be surprised if that's something you inexplicably can't change, like with the train station colors in past games. Same with the town's grass pattern. Though, now that I think about it, is there any evidence that the square and circle grass patterns still exist in New Horizons?
It's probably a random thing like the 4 maps you get to choose from and your native fruit. Like how town hall style, town gate, and train station were random in previous games.
In New Leaf you could remodel the town hall and train station, but I don't think roof color of the default was a remodel option.
Sure at the start, but customization is top priority now more than ever. So the ability to change airport colors seems like a decent one.
Yeah it just fits.
Although I imagine almost everyone will pick blue if it is an option
I will and so should you. If nobody speaks up nothing will change.
Me too! Switch wise, I was just as excited for Odyssey, LM3, and Link's Awakening. Only BOTW tops it this gen. March 20 is here in a blink of the eye bro, don't worry!
I've never gotten a Switch game on launch before. Do they have a pre-release download option?
Which airport/seaplane do you want?
Blue and if not, yellow.
If you mean pre-order then yes, you can download the game straight away but obviously have to wait until 20th of march to play.
You can play at midnight as well
I'm a sucker for green but the blue looks really nice.Which airport/seaplane do you want?
I'm actually really keen to pick this up and mess around with my kids. We have two Switches, so assuming we'd need to play on a single one together.
If you want to live on the same island then yes. Otherwise, you could have your own island separate from theirs with a 2nd copy on the other system and still play together by visiting each other's island on the internet.
A lot of them do. AC probably will since it's a big release.
Do what I'm doing and buy it digital and gamestate so you can have two copies for one price. And two islands. Easier to trade fruit and stuff
Which airport/seaplane do you want?
Green, because it would match with the flag. Blue is good too!
You should be able to change the town flag from the start of the game, though.
Oh, good to know! AC on the GameCube was my last experience with the franchise and I've forgotten most of it. I'm really excited about New Horizons!
