For those of you who know me, I am a HUGE Animal Crossing fan. I have been playing since the release of the GameCube version. So when the Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct on November 2nd was revealed, I was excited. Once the Direct was over, there were still some questions, and since this is the second day after the direct, some of the online Animal Crossing community came up with a list of details not included in the Presentation. Here are a few of them.
Let’s clear up the selling of your town. You have to be Level 4 town to sell it. 
- You can sit on rocks
- New Fortune cookie items (including Wii u and 3DS)
- You can interact with things in front of you while sitting down
- MEOW Coupons can be exchanged for 3000 bells each
- Ability to silence people in Club Tortimer
- New island minigames
- Ability to sit on pillows
- New villagers brought back from older AC games
- Free weed removal service if you haven’t been to your town in a while by talking to Leif after returning
- Nintendo 3DS image share can now be used in-game to upload pictures to Facebook/Twitter
- Balloons no longer exclusively contain balloon furniture and can now drop any kind of furniture

Wisp Functionality
- Wisp appears at a random location and can be found by walking around until you are called by an unknown voice at least a day after the update.
- Amiibo villagers can be talked to, invited to camp, or invited to live in your town permanently from Wisp
- Wisp can only grant one wish per day and can only be found once a day, meaning only one character can get Wisp each day unless you Time Travel (adjust the time)
- If your town is full but you want an amiibo to move in, you can kick out one of your existing villagers by choice
- You can use amiibo cards to move a villager back in even if they have not cleared the cycle
Happy Home Designer Functions and Designer Tips
