3. Operating Instructions

Animal Crossing amiibo cards are Near Field Communication (NFC) capable trading cards that interact with compatible Nintendo games. By tapping an amiibo card over the NFC touchpoint on your console or accessory, you can unlock new experiences within the game.

Compatible Games:

• Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (Nintendo 3DS family systems)
• Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival (Wii U)
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo update (Nintendo 3DS family systems)

How to Use:

1. Launch a compatible game on your Nintendo console.
2. When prompted by the game, or at a designated amiibo touchpoint within the game, place the amiibo card on the NFC touchpoint.
3. Hold the card steady until the game registers the amiibo data.
4. The game will then respond based on the specific amiibo card used and the game's functionality (e.g., inviting a character, unlocking items).

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your amiibo cards, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep cards clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning if necessary.
• Avoid bending, creasing, or tearing the cards, as this can damage the internal NFC chip.
• Store cards in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not expose cards to liquids or excessive moisture.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your amiibo cards, consider the following:

• Card Not Registering: Ensure the card is placed directly over the NFC touchpoint on your device or accessory. Hold it steady for a few seconds.
• Game Not Responding: Verify that the game you are playing is compatible with amiibo cards and that the specific amiibo card is supported by the game's current version. Check for game updates.
• System Software: Confirm that your Nintendo console's system software is up to date. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
• External NFC Reader/Writer: If using an external accessory, ensure it is properly paired and charged (if applicable).
• Physical Damage: Inspect the card for any visible damage, such as bends or creases, which might affect the NFC chip.

If problems persist, refer to the official Nintendo Support website for further assistance.
