Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Gameplay consists of improving the village with new buildings and decorations, collecting furniture and items for one's house, and donating fossils, fish, insects and art to the local museum.

Several features in the game make their series debut here, while others have been brought back from older Animal Crossing games after having not been seen in the DS or Wii entries.

These include public works projects, which allow new landmarks and buildings to be added to the town, as well as altering the appearance of certain major buildings; the Dream Suite, which allows players to visit other towns in a single-player session; a tropical island that hosts minigames and multiplayer interactions; Re-Tail, a store that acts as a flea market and allows the player to customize certain furniture items with alternate color schemes or patterns; and QR code sharing for player-made clothing and patterns.

A free update, titled Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo , was released in late 2016.

This patch added amiibo functionality, including 64 villagers only available through the use of a corresponding card or figure. 50 of these are villagers who had previously only appeared in the GameCube and/or Nintendo 64 installments of the series; the other 14 are tie-in villagers that represent characters from The Legend of Zelda , Splatoon , Monster Hunter , and Hello Kitty .

Other features include new items and currency, an RV campground near the outskirts of town, minigames and features from Animal Crossing spin-off titles, and several miscellaneous features intended for the player's convenience.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf for Nintendo 3DS is currently worth €26.20 loose, €24.77 complete in box, and €35.42 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Animal Crossing: New Leaf, loose is €26.20 and CIB is €24.77 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Animal Crossing: New Leaf is currently worth €26.20 loose, versus €21.23 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
