Villager Amiibo Gets A Reprint In Japan And It Has Some Minor Changes

villager-amiibo_compare_changes

We all know just how popular the Villager amiibo has been from the Animal Crossing franchise. It has proven so popular in Japan that Nintendo has decided to do a reprint and as you can see there’s some minor changes between the original Villager (left) and the reprinted one (right). Reddit user LegendAssassin has given us a look at both versions and there is clearly a slight difference.

    1. Unmm the new one actually looks more correct based on how Villagers look in Animal Crossing.

      The one with the eyes up too high is incorrect.

    2. Do you see the smash 4 art of villager? The angle is head on. You see the figure? The picture angle is taken form above the figure, easy seen by looking at the base of the figure. I’m sure it’s great if you look at him head on.

        So if a US or UK citizens snags one from Japan, maybe on ebay, it will be a special exclusive collector’s item.

  1. The eye changes make it look like he has a bigger forehead. Also idk if it’s the lighting but is that black hair on him?

  2. It’s looks closer to the artwork at least. Nintendo should do this with the others too, Marth needs a new face and Diddy Kong’s eyes make him look kinda derby

          1. By your own admittance, you just said your weak; or have weakness.

            So much for a interstellar intellectual apex predator, I though even the devil would coward with fear, but I guess not so much now.

              >>>Everything has a weakness except pure darkness, but whether my weakness is known or not, humans are next to nothing compared anyway so it’s irrelevant>>>

    1. Yes but the original artwork is a photo image without depth so it doesn’t look wierd on the artwork. On the amiibo they simply kept everything else (relatively) the same except change the face position which makes it look completely off + the angle the person took the photo at is different.

  3. Lol everyone is crediting “LegendAssassin” when /u/rezguerra actually was the one who leaked the information first. Oh well

  4. This is going to make the original release of the Villager even MORE valuable. So glad I got one.

  5. I like the change in eye size, but I think that the entire face should be scaled up a bit to get the correct animal crossing feel.

  6. They just need to readjust the face when it comes to the west this is getting more hate than it deserves
