Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer: This new game in
the Animal Crossing series focuses on the decorating and
home-designing aspects of the Animal Crossing games. Animals

designers-in-the-making to meet the animals’ requests by furnishing
and decorating their homes. By tapping a new Animal Crossing
series amiibo card to the New Nintendo 3DS XL system or NFC
reader/writer accessory, players can design a room for that specific
character on the card and scan additional character cards to invite
those characters to visit. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
will launch this fall.
