‘Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer’s November DLC Looks Fabulous!

by Natalie Kipper

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer hit the United States last September and Nintendo is doing its best to make sure that we don’t forget about the addictive title. Between a very special SpotPass visitor and the next round of the Happy Home Network Design Contest, they’ve just revealed a bunch of new items to collect!

Let’s talk about the SpotPass content first. Should the SpotPass feature be enabled, a Felyne from Capcom’s Monster Hunter series will make a visit to your town as a potential client. The character model is based of off  the design from Monster Hunter Poka Poka Airu Village, a Nintendo 3DS game that takes place in a Felyne village. The Felyne’s home request unlocks a set of Monster Hunter-themed items, including the porcine Poogie, a BBQ spit, and the Quest Board. This content became available on Monday, November 2, and it’s unknown when it will no longer be downloadable.

November’s edition of the Happy Home Network Design Contest is themed around the concept of “A Battle Between Giants.” Those that participate in the competition are required to use a Robot Hero and an Inflatable Resetti in their design. You will get to keep these awe-inspiring pieces of furniture upon completing the challenge. Luckily enough, you don’t have to win; just compete! Trying your best would be awesome too, though. Who wouldn’t want to be featured on the network for the whole world to admire?

Nintendo Is FINALLY Releasing The ‘New 3DS’ In America In This Awesome Bundle!

by Shane O'Hare

American’s are the brunt of a lot of jokes, mostly ones about our propensity for larger things. Larger cars. Larger soda. Larger women. So when Nintendo had NO plans for a US release of the New 3DS it became vogue to make fun of us and our New 3DS XL’s. WELL WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?!

Announced today at the Gamestop Managers Conference, which is apparently a thing, Nintendo is bringing the smaller 3DS console to US shores with a few fancy bundles.

Bundle Includes:

New 3DS

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Two changeable faceplaces

1 Amiibo card.

The Animal Crossing New 3DS bundle hits store shelves September 25th for $219

The other new console we’re getting our hands on a special Hyrule Edition 3DS XL. No pictures have been released yet, but it will be gold with the Hyrule Crest on the front. Pick it up as a Gamestop exclusive on October 30th for $199.

It’s awesome to see Nintendo finally bringing the smaller console to the US shores. The interchangeable faceplates are strangely absent on the XL edition, a huge oversight in my mind.

Let us know what you think about the new bundles, are you excited for the smaller 3DS? You KNOW our correspondent El Chucho is going to be getting his preorders in today!
