Fresh Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Details Announced

New details for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer have been announced during Nintendo's latest Direct in Japan.

The game will release on 30th July in Japan, alongside a stylish special edition New Nintendo 3DS XL. New Nintendo 3DS owners will also be able to pick up special cover plates based on the game.

Regular 3DS owners needn't miss out however - although the game's focus is on amiibo, Nintendo are releasing a special NFC reader that allows the ordinary 3DS to read the amiibo cards released alongside the game. These cards will be available in blind packs of 3 and will cost 300 yen (around £1.50) each.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is released worldwide on 3DS this year.
