Animal Crossing New Horizons: Hello Kitty Villagers Arrive at Target

Since its release, fans of Animal Crossing: New horizons lamented the omission of certain promotional items available in New leaf, but a new partnership between retailer Target and Nintendo aims to change that. Sanrio’s Hello Kitty is coming to your island, provided you purchase the associated amiibo cards, of course.

The cards will release on March 26 and are exclusive to Target. No prizes have been shared yet, but in the pictures we can spot a wide variety of new furnishings that aren’t currently in the game, like character-themed beds and tables. Previously, you could only get posters of Sanrio through Harv Island.

Perhaps more appealingly, the cards also include entirely new villagers (at New Horizons, at least) – Rilla, Marty, Etoile, Chai, Chelsea and Toby, respectively. There is no other way to get these folks, which might explain why full decks of these cards for previous games are selling for exorbitant prices on eBay. In other words, expect these cards to sell out quickly, especially given the popularity of New Horizons.

Animal crossing Also expected to get a Dancing Peacock update in January and a Super Mario-themed patch in March.
