The Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards 6-Pack Series 1 is now available for preorder at Amazon. If you are interested, you can reserve the pack with this link from the shopping website.
For the uninformed, the cards has the same functionality as the Amiibo figures. You can use them in the upcoming Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for 3DS as well as Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival.
For the uninformed, you will need either the NFC reader (if you only have a regular 2DS or 3DS system) or a New Nintendo 3DS to use the cards with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. For Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, you simply have to scan the cards with the NFC sensor that is built right into the Wii U GamePad.
According to Amazon, Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards 6-Pack Series 1 will be released in the North American region on Sept. 25. The above-mentioned Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is also releasing for the Nintendo 3DS on the 25th of September while the Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is due to arrive for the Nintendo Wii U sometime later this holiday season. As with most of the figures, it is best to purchase the card pack as soon as possible.
