Watch Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Nintendo Direct Here E3
Nintendo will share more details on Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Amiibo support and possibly more today during a Nintendo Direct briefing dedicated to the game.
As announced previously, the Nintendo Direct kicks off at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 2 PM UK today, November 2. You can watch the entire event right here in this post through the Twitch embed below.
Specifically, this Nintendo Direct briefing will focus on the upcoming "Welcome Amiibo" update for the 3DS game. As announced previously, New Leaf will add Amiibo support in December.
When the update comes out, you can tap compatible Amiibo figures and cards on your 3DS, which will then bring that specific villager to your town. Today's Nintendo Direct may explain in greater detail how that will work. Check out some screenshots and every compatible Amiibo in the gallery below.
Separately, it's been confirmed that the Japanese steam will include details on Miitopia, a game announced during a Nintendo Direct Japanese briefing earlier this year. Don't expect any news about the Animal Crossing smartphone game or Nintendo Switch, however, according to Gematsu.
Check back with GameSpot after the event for a roundup of what was announced.
