Hello everyone! 

So after updating, I was super confused about which amiibos are compatiable with the new Welcome Amiibo update and what each one can do, so here is a *hopefully helpful breakdown of each type of amiibo and how to use it in the new update!

Regular Animal Crossing Villager Amiibo Cards (Series 1-4)

Regular villager amiibo cards are all of the cards you get in a regular amiibo pack (series 1-4) excluding the sparkly “special” NPC card. (So not including Isabelle, Tom Nook, KK Slider, etc). These are your typical villagers (Marshal, Rosie, Fauna, Julain, etc).

You can scan these into your game using a new NPC, Wisp! Wisp is unlocked at random at least one day after you update your game.

Using Wisp in your mayor’s home, you can tap an amiibo card to the screen.

You CAN ask the villager to move in.

If you have 10 villagers, they will offer to kick someone out for you! (yay!)

You CANNOT ask them to visit the campground. Unfortunately, the hundreds of previous amiibo cards do not have caravans designed for  the characters and cannot utilize the new campground. 

NEW Welcome Amiibo Cards (Released December 2)

Nintendo is releasing 50 NEW amiibo cards in December called Welcome Amiibo! These cards are DIFFERENT from the series 1-4 cards.

These cards are horizontal and each villager comes with their own unique caravan!

You CAN invite them to visit your campground!

At the campground, you can purchase their exclusive content, including things not available via the Nookling stores, using meow poitns.

You CAN invite them to move into your town!

These characters include villagers from older Animal Crossing games, as well as some crossover characters with other Nintendo games, such as Legend of Zelda and Splatoon.

There will be special Sanrio crossover cards released, as well (EEE!)

You may see some promotional images of people using these cards, but they will not be on sale in the United States until December 2nd. I’m sorry, I’m unsure about the release date in other regions!

Special Non-Playable Character Amiibo Cards

Special NPC amiibo cards (the sparkly *special* card you receive in each amiibo pack) such as Isabelle, Tom Nook, KK Slider, etc, can also be scanned in using Wisp!

They CANNOT move in to your town.

They may offer you a special item, such as their picture.

You CANNOT invite them to the campground, therefore you cannot purchase their exclusive items via amiibo card + Wisp.

Special Non-Playable Character Amiibo Figures

So there is a HUGE difference between the NPC cards and figures. Though you can scan the cards and interact with them via wisp, having the figure will allow you to invite them to the campground and access their exclusive items and purchase them with meow points.

For instance, I received a Lottie amiibo card when I purchased HHD, thus I didn’t feel the obligation to purchase her amiibo figure. But if I want her to visit my campground so I can purchase her exclusive items, I need to run out and get the figure. Which I may or may not have just done.

They CAN be invited to your campground, where you can purchase items.

They CANNOT move into your town.

Alternatively titled: How to Get Your Dream Villagers Without Royally Fucking Things Up for Yourself (◡‿◡✿)

So over the weeks I’ve amassed a reliable system through trial and error on how to move out villagers quickly and efficiently. In the past 3 days I’ve moved out a total of 23 unwanted/trading villagers without a single loss of a dream villager, so I’d say the success rate is pretty good, no?

So here I am, sharing my technique with you.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf house exterior options.

This guide makes extensive use of the Nintendo 3DS’ System Settings to alter the system’s internal clock. If you’re not comfortable with time traveling then this ‘trick’ is not for you. :(

However, there is one thing I can recommend for those of you who don’t want to have to change the 3DS clock-

Before you go on hiatus, deny a villager’s request to move.

I can’t guarantee that this will work, as I don’t fully understand the workings of the game and how it moves villagers out, but in the tests I’ve done with time traveling I have been able to TT to any date in the future (even year 2050) without loosing a villager so long as I had just denied a villager’s request to leave.

It doesn’t matter which villager this is; it doesn’t have to be a villager you want to keep.

Anyways, onto the guide! :D

BEFORE GOING ON HIATUS

You can use the tips/tricks in this guide even without prior preparation, but if you do a few things before going on hiatus you can make things a little easier for yourself later on.

Before you go…

Set the town’s ordinance to the “Beautiful Town” ordinance. This will keep hybrids from wilting and keep the weeds at bay later when we TT.

Most importantly: Take note of the date you last saved/quit your game. You will need this later! (P.S. If you don’t have paper/pen handy, go to your 3DS’ home screen and then click the pencil icon at the top to write it in the game notes.)

- - - - -

COMING BACK FROM HIATUS - DO NOT LOAD YOUR GAME!

You must do the following before loading your game!

Go to the Nintendo 3DS’ System Settings menu from the home screen.

Choose “Other Things”.

Choose “Date & Time”.

Change “Today’s Date” so that it matches the last date that you played. If you cannot remember the last day you played set it back to a date that you know is BEFORE the last date you played. It is better to choose an older date than it is to choose a date that is sometime after your last time playing.

Make sure the time is set to a time that all your villagers will be awake. If not, change it.

Load your ACNL game.

If you loaded your game on the SAME DAY that you last played, you shouldn’t experience any villager loss. If you load your game anytime BEFORE that day, it is possible for a villager to move if they had already planned on moving. This sounds silly, but TT’ing backwards any length of time greater than or equal to 1 day, counts as just ‘one day’.

For example, if it is 12/5 and you TT back to 12/1, that’s 4 calendar days. However, the ACNL game counts this as just ‘1 day’ passing in terms of villager movement.

GETTING BACK TO THE PRESENT

So hopefully, you’ve made it back to the last time you played without losing any villagers- but how do you get to the present day without having to TT day by day? Follow these steps…

Talk to each of your villagers once to make sure you are on speaking terms with them. You can tell if you’re on speaking terms with them if when you talk to them they greet you and then the game offers you the standard dialog box (which is something like “What’s new?” and “Nevermind.”)

Once you’ve done that, save and quit your game. Then, reload the game (same day, don’t change the time at all yet).

Walk in front of the villagers that are strolling outside in your town. There are usually 5 of these guys out and about. You’re looking for one of them to ‘ping’ you. That is, make a surprised emote and then run up to you.

If someone does run up to you, talk to them and see what they say. If they want to move, deny their request.

If none of the five villagers that are outside run up to you, save and quit, then reload the game to cycle the villagers that are in their homes.

If you’ve walked in front of all the villagers in your town at least once, and none of them ping you- save and quit, then TT ONE DAY FORWARD and repeat the process of walking in front of all your villagers until they ping and one of them asks to move. Once this happens, deny the request.

Once you’ve denied a request to move you’re free to TT forward as far as you want. So, after you’ve saved/quit your game, go back to system settings and correct the date/time. Then, load your ACNL game and ta-da! You’re back to the present!

VISUAL GUIDE TO PUBLIC WORK PROJECTS SPECIFIC TO VILLAGER TYPE!

I was inspired to make a visual guide to the PWPs and the villager types by the list I previously reblogged. I prefer to see the villager type that specifically requests and the PWP price. Mostly for personal reference but I’m posting just in case this might help anyone else. :3

use tools

Can be taught to speak (like parrots)

Have huge brains for birds

like seriously their brain-to-body size ratio is equal to that of a chimpanzee

They vocalize anger, sadness, or happiness in response to things

they are scary smart at solving puzzles

some crows stay with their mates until one of them dies

they can remember faces

SIDENOTE HERE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT.  They did an experiment where these guys wore masks and some of them fucked with crows.  Pretty soon the crows recognized the masks = douchebag.  But the nice guys with masks they left alone.  THEN, OH WE’RE NOT DONE, NO SIR crows that WEREN’T EVEN IN THE EXPERIMENT AND NEVER SAW THE MASK BEFORE knew about mask-dudes and attacked them on sight.  THEY PASSED ON THE FUCKING INFORMATION TO THEIR CROW BUDDIES.

They remember places where crows were killed by farmers and change their migration patterns.

Every day, I would watch Buck from my window until one day I opened it and started talking to him. He was small and gangly and he couldn’t caw right. His feathers were all over the place and I felt a kinship. So I made a deal with him. I told him that if he could do it, if he could fly, then I could find the strength to get up. Well… near the end of the season, after talking with him every day, I finally saw him get out of the nest. He went to the edge of his branch, braced himself, and jumped… and just before he hit the ground, he soared back up into the sky. I cheered harder than I ever had before.

That winter, Buck left the area. I was crestfallen. I felt like I’d lost a friend. But I was so damn proud of him. 

Cut to the next spring? I’m walking up the driveway one day when suddenly I hear a sound… a broken caw. I look up, and Buck is sitting in a tree above my head. He stared at me and puffed his feathers, then hopped down in front of me and cawed again. I was so damn thrilled, and I told him how proud I was of him. He ruffled his feathers and then soared off into his old tree. 

That summer? I heard two broken caws. One from Buck… and one from his chick.

i tried to get close and take a better look and one of them dived super low and tried to attack me. so i went back in the house and chopped some sliced raw meat and tossed it at him from a distance.

a few more times later, very soon after, they could tell i was trying to help, and did not attack me. i was “allowed” to walk up close and pick him up, he couldn’t drink water properly so i had to dip my finger in a bowl and stick it in his mouth.

i did this few times a day and it went on for about a week before he disappeared, i thought he recovered and left, but he came back the next day and lands on me, and i see him around the block quite often, and he would come sit on my shoulder for a few minutes and then fly away again. i feel like i’ve adopted a son.

As a side note, I volunteered at a rehab (Hope for Wildlife), where they were rehabbing a crow with a broken wing–who was named Russell Crow. He kept pulling his bandage off so a sleeve was cut off some old clothing and put on him like a little sweater.
