Fantastic to hear that New Leaf will be updated with Amiibo support - all of those Animal Crossing cards and figures that I've been collecting might actually get some use now, instead of being purely for display purposes. Very cool! Doesn't sound like NoA has confirmed it's coming here yet, but surely that will happen right?
(Caveat: We do have that Wii U game that uses Animal Crossing Amiibo. It's barely a game though, so this is the first time that there is a meaningful use for me.)
