amiibo support is finally coming to the Nintendo 2DS and older 3DS models.
Nintendo will release the wireless NFC reader on October 2 in Europe and September 25 in North America.
The battery-operated device lets 3DS and 2DS owners use amiibo figures with their consoles.
The launch date coincides with the release of Animal Crossing's 'amiibo trading cards' and Happy Home Designer game.
Happy Home Designer focuses on the decorating and home-designing aspects of the Animal Crossing games.
By tapping a new Animal Crossing series amiibo card to the New Nintendo 3DS XL system or NFC reader/writer accessory, players can design a room for that specific character on the card and scan additional character cards to invite those characters to visit.
