Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards now compatible with Style Boutique

Animal Crossing Amiibo cards are now compatible with Style Boutique 2 and Style Savvy 3 and can be scanned into the game to unlock special Nintendo themed items. Previously only amiibo figures were compatible with the game, but since Nintendo recently updated Animal Crossing New Leaf, the cards can now be used in Style Boutique and Style Savvy. For more information on amiibo items, please refer to the amiibo guide.

There are two items that the amiibo cards will unlock; the Town Secretary Shirt and the Star Hairpin. These items are part of the amiibo items that are already included in the game and you can also unlock them by scanning a Isabelle amiibo (Town Secretary Shirt) or a Bowser, Toad or Luigi amiibo (Star Hairpin). The Town Secretary Shirt is available in the Happy Home Designer DLC set as well.

To unlock the items, it is the same process as scanning an amiibo. Select the Amiibo function from the phone menu and tap the card onto the NFC Reader or bottom 3DS screen (newer models). The game will ask to register the amiibo if it is not registered. The game will generate a character based off the mii registered to the amiibo and ask if you wish to continue. Select no if you wish to return to your Boutique and serve the customer or select yes if you wish to keep scanning the amiibo to unlock more colours. You must unlock the original colour of the item before you can unlock the other four. Please refer to the following guides for more information on the Town Secretary Shirt and Star Hairpin.

• Town Secretary Shirt
• Star Hairpin

To unlock the Town Secretary Shirt, you can scan any of the Isabelle amiibo cards from any of the four card series. The character will appear as a blue NPC at your boutique.

If the customer is happy with their outfit, they will gift you the special amiibo item. The process works the same as scanning a normal amiibo.

To unlock the Star Hairpin, you can scan any amiibo card (excluding Isabelle) from any of the four card series. All special cards and villager cards will unlock the Star Hairpin. You can use cards from any region as I scanned my Japanese KK Slider card and it worked. 

These are the amiibo cards I scanned to unlock the items. I scanned my Isabelle card from Series 2 as well and it unlocked the Town Secretary Shirt. Same deal with the villager cards, I scanned my Bill card and it unlocked the Star Hairpin.
