My villagers have no RESPECT for interior design
So, unlike most people, I have actually played Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

Really curious about this title. I love the franchise and I hope this functions more than just a quickie knock off.
Hopefully this will allow you to import furniture, or even better, a villager into your AC WiiU game.
Another cash cow? If it requires purchasing cards or additional download stuff in order to play it, then I'm not interested.
This is a very risky move for such a beloved franchise. I personally don't like the Amiibo implementation at all. really Nintendo should be thinking of making a full fledged version for Wii-U.
I'm interested, but getting this depends on how much the cards will cost (especially now that there doesn't seem to be a Wii U core game in the works, they better be flippity dipping cheap), and how many cards per pack. I'm dissapointed that they didn't make this a whole game in itself (but that's business for you).
I thought this was dlc for Animal Crossing New Leaf. If the games are separate experiences, you can count me out.
Does anyone know if I'll have to have the NEW Nintendo 3ds to play this game??
@pinknightmarexx there is bundle with the game + nfc reader + amiibo card
@Ben_Rage_V2 ya, this game is a separate game. Nothing like new leaf though
@Natethederp you're a year and a half late to this discussion. Thank you. In all this time I didn't figure out that they were separate games *sarcasm
@Ben_Rage_ V2 oh, sorry. I just joined yesterday
i think this game needs more love
@mosskit you got your wish
