#Hello kitty animal crossing amiibo cards target update#
Today's update will allow players to obtain a number of Mario-themed costumes and items - though, sorry, no Mario-themed villagers for now. New Horizons just got a different themed change to the game today with the 35th-anniversary celebration of Mario. However, given how popular some of these characters are, there's a chance this results in scalpers buying up the cards and selling them for high prices at online retailers - so mind that if you are trying to order them. Each pack includes six amiibo cards with Animal Crossing residents inspired by popular Sanrio friends like Hello Kitty, Pompompurin and Cinnamoroll. The six Sanrio characters were also added to New Leaf at this time, but their cards - the only way to unlock them - were not readily available in the United States.Īt the moment, it looks like all six characters come in a single pack of Sanrio cards, so you don't have to worry about random chance as you do with normal amiibo card packs. Target stores are also currently offering the exclusive Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Packs for purchase at a suggested retail price of 5.99 each. These four characters have not appeared in New Horizons even with amiibo, however.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Welcome amiibo update, the game added a number of new villagers themed around The Legend of Zelda that could be obtained by scanning actual amiibo: W. This is the first time New Horizons has gotten new residents, though the addition is not without precedent.
