Animal Crossing Creator Code and QR Code Roundup

4 / 3 / 204 / 3 / 20
Animal Crossing New Horizons Creator codes and qr codes

Back when Animal Crossing: New Leaf had just come out in Japan, I made it my hobby to browse Pixiv and other sites looking for adorable QR code designs to deck out my villager and town. Now that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out and is compatible with New Leaf QR codes, I think it’s definitely time to reshare some of my favorites!

Plus, sites like Twitter and Tumblr have made finding and sharing custom designs easier than ever, which means I already have a small stockpile of adorable creator codes for cute designs made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

So, whether you’re looking to make your town into a sugary-sweet kawaii paradise, get that chic cafe vibe, or level up your geeky flair, here’s a roundup of all my favorite QR codes from Animal Crossing: New Leaf and creator codes from Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

My latest video is a review of the gorgeousย Animal Crossing: New Leaf 2DS XL that was just released in Australia, Europe, and Japan! I’d been looking to upgrade my Australian original model 3DS to a newer model, and I just could not pass up this adorableย Animal Crossingย design when it was announced. Watch the video below to hear my full impressions of the 2DS XL and how it compares to other 3DS models in my collection!

Aitai Kuji Review

4 / 12 / 18

Aitai Kuji Review Animal Crossing Kuji

Last time I wrote about Aitai Kuji, it was to talk about their amazing kuji (lottery) purchasing system.ย I’m amazed that they offer this service to people outside of Japan! Now that theย Animal Crossing Ichiban Kuji items I wrote about in that postย have arrived,ย it’s time to review their service as a whole! But first, if you haven’t seen my unboxing of theย Animal Crossingย Ichiban Kuji items, you really ought to check it out:

How to Use Aitai Kuji to Purchase Japanese Kuji Items

3 / 1 / 18

How to Use Aitai Kuji to Purchase Japanese Kuji Items

Recently, I wrote about how excited I am for the super adorableย Animal Crossing kuji (lottery) that’s coming out in Japan. Unfortunately, it can be rather difficult to get Ichiban Kuji and other lottery items outside of Japan, since they’re often only sold at convenience stores. Even if you can your hands on the individual items, if you haven’t been to Japan, you’ve probably never had the chance to purchase a ticket and see what prize item awaits you.

That’s where Aitai Kuji comes in! They offer a kuji ticket service that emulates the whole experience of buying kuji tickets for overseas customers. They were kind enough to reach out to me to try my hand at theย Animal Crossingย kuji preorderย so I could show you how the system works!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is Out Now in Australia!

10 / 26 / 17

Did you tune in to the 15 minute Nintendo Direct dedicated entirely to the long-awaitedย Animal Crossingย mobile game thatย aired yesterday? The game, titledย Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, was finally unveiled, with a worldwide release slated for late November. However, it turns out that Australians get to play the game early! It’s already available to download on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store in Australia, so I jumped on the opportunity to try out the game. (Pokรฉmon Goย was also released in Australia and Japan before other territories, so it seems like we’re a popular spot to test out apps before their worldwide release)

Check out the above video to see a little over 10 minutes ofย Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in action! I share my current campsite, visiting villagers, all the different areas you can explore in the game, and more! My first impression from theย Nintendo Direct was that the game seemed way more involved than I had previously assumed anย Animal Crossing mobile game would be, and so far the game itself is living up to that.

As you may know, I’m a huge fan ofย Animal Crossingย and even purchased the Japanese limited editionย Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS XL back in 2012 so I could play the game before it came out in English! Whileย Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp isย not a completely fleshed-outย Animal Crossing game in that some of the customization is stripped away (you can’t make your own clothing or decor patterns at this point in time, for example), but it’s dripping with the same adorable charm.

What do you think ofย Animal Crossing: Pocket Campย so far? Does it look like it’s going to live up to a proper Animal Crossing release, or will it fall prey to microtransactions?ย Share your thoughts in the comments!

A lil late, but Happy Lunar New Year~
Hope everyone had a good one, and got to sneak in a little White Rabbit candy.
I'm a rabbit baby, and apparently it's real bad luck when it's your own zodiac year so uh.. Good luck to me 2023..
