Where to buy Animal Crossing amiibo cards
Across four series, there have been 400 Animal Crossing amiibo cards released in total. In these sets, you’ll find a whole host of animal villagers who can take up residence in your town or drop by as special visitors. A special set of 50 Animal Crossing: New Leaf cards were also released that brought back many absent villagers.
As there are so many to collect, we’d definitely advise you using the online Animal Crossing catalogue to keep track of your collection. Even more so because the cards in each pack are random so it could take some time to gather a complete set. It’s a problem made even worse by the general lack of availability.
To help this, a few enterprising folks have taken to creating their own Animal Crossing amiibo cards. These unofficial cards function exactly the same as Nintendo’s own but are smaller, far cheaper and more widely available. Plus, hundreds of reviews show they work perfectly well so it could be a much easier way to build your collection.
Remember, though, that these are not produced or endorsed by Nintendo so if you run into any issues you’ll have to deal with the sellers directly to sort a refund or replacement. Understanding the demand, Nintendo may print more Animal Crossing amiibo card packs in the future if you’re willing to wait.
What do the Animal Crossing amiibo and amiibo cards unlock in New Horizons?
Essentially, the main feature of amiibo in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to unlock those islanders in the new Photopia mode where they can be used as models in your own photoshoots.
As for the Animal Crossing amiibo cards, they will actually allow those characters you scan to be invited as residents to your island. It's quite a way to grow the population – especially with the hundreds of amiibo cards that are available to collect!
For more info, our pals over at Eurogamer have a comprehensive guide on the Animal Crossing: New Horizons amiibo support. We’d encourage you to check that out for a more detailed breakdown of how and where they're used in-game.
What if I can’t find the amiibo I’m looking for?
Don’t fret just yet. Considering that Nintendo has seen a surge in popularity for Animal Crossing amiibo and amiibo cards with last year’s Switch entry New Horizons, you can expect they’ll be looking to restock sold out figures as soon as possible. With the way amiibo are launched and re-released in batches, it should only be a matter of time until the next wave hit stores.
Patience is key, then. Unless you’re truly desperate, don’t be lulled into paying an extortionate amount for one amiibo just because it’s available right now. It may return to a reasonable price once a restock occurs. You could also find a good second-hand offer. Check back here regularly for all the latest news.
All that still not enough Animal Crossing for you? If you somehow don't own the game yet, you'll definitely want to pick up a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
