The Animal Crossing Sanrio Villager Amiibo cards will be making their way to the United States for the first time, bringing the friendly cast of Sanrio villagers to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, similarly to how they visited players in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Sanrio characters were first introduced to Animal Crossing back during the New Leaf days with the Welcome Amiibo update. They were later made compatible with the mobile spinoff Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Each Amiibo card brought one of six Sanrio-inspired villagers and their adorably themed RVs to the player’s camp in New Leaf. These Amiibo cards were made available outside of Japan, but only for some areas such as the UK and never in the US. But now, identical Amiibo cards will be available shortly for Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ North American players.
These Amiibo cards will bring all of the same Sanrio-inspired villagers to New Horizons: Rilla, Marty, Etoile, Chai, Chelsea, and Toby. Previously, players were able to scan the Sanrio Amiibo cards into New Horizons via Harvey’s Island, but all it would bring were posters with Sanrio characters as decoration for the player’s home.
Now, it looks like the Sanrio Collaboration Pack will take the same shape as it did in Animal Crossing: New Leaf by allowing the villagers to visit the island resort. Campers and RVs haven’t yet been introduced to New Horizons, but they were introduced to New Leaf with the Welcome Amiibo update. A visiting villager would park at Harvey’s campground, so it’ll likely be the same with New Horizons, but instead on Harv’s island. Players can also scan Amiibos to do photoshoots at Harv’s, so it’s likely players will be able to do the same with the Sanrio cards.
The Sanrio Collaboration Pack will release on March 26 as a Target exclusive. No price point has been announced for the Amiibo release in the US, but in Canada, it looks like they’ll be priced at $6.99. The cards will also offer new furniture items that aren’t currently available in New Horizons.
Also included with the Welcome Amiibo update for New Leaf were The Legend of Zelda Amiibos, which added villager versions of Twilight Princess‘ Wolf Link and Ganon. When New Horizons released, players found that these Amiibos didn’t work at all, not even for photoshoots on Harv’s island. But with the Sanrio Amiibo announcement, fans are hoping an update supporting The Legend of Zelda Amiibos is in the works.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
