Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a creativity-based game for Nintendo 3DS and a spin-off of Animal Crossing series, having players designing houses for the animals rather then living life in a village. The game launched alongside a series of amiibo cards, of which one is included with each retail copy of the game. Individual copies of the game are also sold alongside a bundle containing the also-launched Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer peripheral.

  • Collect and Connect - Collect and share amiibo cards of your favorite villagers, and invite them into your game

  • Tap the amiibo cards of special characters to call in animals that would otherwise not appear in your game with requests

Gameplay

Players work for Nook's Homes, building and decorating homes for the animal villagers coming in that are fitting to their tastes. Players are not only able to decorate the interior of each house but also the exterior as well as being able to choose where the house will be built. Rather than the bottom screen being an inventory, it is instead given the function of being a floor plan. Players can select from a vast catalog of items for decorating, which unlocks new items over time.

By scanning amiibo cards, players can build a home for the animal on that card, as well as inviting animals to view another's home.
