Catalogued Posters no longer available to order through Nook Shopping (October Update) Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Hey guys!

I wanted to talk about posters. For the Halloween update introduced in October 2020, one thing players noticed was that any posters that were catalogued are no longer popping up in search results in the Nook Shopping section. A lot of players were frustrated and upset because some players spent a lot of time and even Nook Mile Tickets cataloguing these posters, and now they are gone. 

Is it a glitch? What happened?

Well there is good and bad news.

The bad news is, according to some Japanese players who have emailed Nintendo, is that the ability to catalogue posters in itself was a glitch - and to obtain posters, you would have required the villager to have lived on your island, and take a photo of them at Harv's Island OR you have their amiibo and scan them in at Harv's Island. This actually makes sense, because any posters obtained other than through Harv's Island had to be searched up, and do not appear under the Special Goods/ Posters tab of Nook Shopping.

I need to remind myself that as soon as I get a new villager, I need to go to Harv's Island to take a photo of them. I have been rotating my villagers out really quickly lately, to the point that I keep forgetting to take them to Harv's. As a result, I don't have Bones' or Ketchup's poster! I have a physical copy of Bones' poster, but that doesn't compare to the option of being able to order his poster whenever. I'm a bit bummed, and my theory that I'll remember to take them before they move out hasn't really worked for me, because I have barely touched my Switch lately, as I don't have many tasks to complete now.

The good (and bad) news is that Nintendo has released a new lot of official amiibo cards for sale, and they are available in a lot of places, including Australia. I myself jumped onto the bandwagon, because I want to buy it for the fun and to have them as collectibles (never saw myself being this obsessed with this game, but I'll take it for now).

Why I say it's for "fun" is because each pack is sealed and the cards inside are random... I'm going to have to cross my fingers that I don't get too many repeats.

All 4 series are going to be available in Australia on the 20th November 2020. Looks like you can leave a partial deposit now (I ordered about 2 weeks ago and paid in full, as at the time the only option was a 100% deposit). 

I'm pretty excited and I'm eagerly waiting for them because I don't have amiibo cards right now, and this would be fun! I'm so happy I will have the choice to rotate any villagers out without worrying about losing them if I manage to get their card.

And that's it! All that's left is to wait. And err... my husband has NO idea I've bought these... but then again he buys random stuff all the time - haha.

Have you placed a pre-order for the Animal Crossing amiibo cards yet? Can't wait!

Yours,
