Happy Days on Nintendo 3DS with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
Nintendo Australia announced that Animal Crossing is returning the the Nintendo 3DS this October with the all new Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer.
From 3rd October, Animal Crossing fans with a penchant for interior or exterior design can go all out with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Join the Nook’s Homes family business and make hundreds of your favourite animals happy by designing their dream home – some might even ask you to spruce up their garden! Go beyond home decor and try your hand at bigger projects like a school or a café and assign unexpected roles to some of your favourite animal friends.
At launch anyone interested in picking up the game will have a range of options to do so, from just getting the game or a limited edition New Nintendo 3DS XL console.
If you want the game on its own, that will run you $59.95, but if you own a regular 3DS, not one of the New Nintendo 3DS units, then your best value is to get the game, one special amiibo card along with the NFC reader/writer for $69.95 as getting the NFC adapter later will run you $29.95
Of course, if you have one of the old machines, now is the time to upgrade and you can do that to the New Nintendo 3DS XL Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Edition, which comes with a white New Nintendo 3DS XL, with a special game themed print on the unit, a download code for the game and one special amiibo card. Investing in this will set you back $269.95.
If you already own a New Nintendo 3DS, two new sets of plates are coming that will allow you to embrace your inner animal. K.K. Slider is the star of one, while the other features a range of characters from the series, they are both priced at $17.95.
The one thing that is really important about this game is that it will use amiibo cards for the very first time, while some copies of the game will come with one card, there are actually a number of them to collect and players will be able to purchase packs of 3 cards for $4.95. Each pack will contain two standard cards and one special amiibo card.
