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?

Throughout the summer, Nintendo and Best Buy partnered up to offer four exclusive SpotPass items for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. With the last item expiring in a few days, it seems like the big N is continuing the fun, only this time, sans Best Buy.

By taking your 3DS to any Nintendo Zone location, villagers can carry over one of four items starting Sunday, August 11th, with new pieces coming every two weeks. The first item is a Pumpkin Pie, but the remaining three items are yet to be revealed. And if you’re going to trash talk pumpkin pie, just stop. It’s too delicious for criticism. Damn it, I’m hungry now.

Join Nintendo and their conspiracy to jump start pie sales three months before Thanksgiving this Sunday! You might even get a few StreetPasses while you’re there.
