Nintendo has been very quiet about Animal Crossing on dedicated Nintendo systems for a while now. However, that ended today. The big N no longer pretends that our beloved village simulator doesn’t exist. The company has released an Animal Crossing themed prepaid card for the Nintendo eShop. Even though there is currently nothing Animal Crossing related to buy on the eShop, except if you don’t own the 5 year old Animal Crossing New Leaf game yet. Nintendo also did not forget about the Kirby fanbase. A Kirby designed eShop prepaid card has been released at the same time. Both cards are available in Japan only, and can be purchased starting today.
