OneAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayer has shared how using amiibo to invite a villager to their island results in a very interesting feature that should help with any regret after kicking a villager from an island. While most Easter eggs are just there for the fun of it, some such as this can make the game itself a bit more engaging.

As explained by RedditorSearching-For-Home,Animal Crossingplayers who invite a villager who used to live on their islandback via an amiibo card will find the villager remembers them. This is in contrast to removing a villager from an island, and then running into them again on a deserted island, where they will no longer remember the player.

The user shared their experience with an ex- villager’s amiibo on Reddit after theyinvited the Egyptian-style cat villager Ankha to the game’s café, The Roost, for a coffee. During the chat, Ankha expresses her delight at seeing the player. She then states: “I miss our little chats.” Her expression then turns sad, and she adds that the coffee tastes better on the player’s island, finishing by saying: “I must say, I feel so nostalgic…” This indicates thatcharacters invited via amiibo remember living on players' islands,and will reminisce about it even after they’ve moved out.

What The ACNH Amiibo Easter Egg Means For Animal Crossing

Getting Villagers To Leave Has Consequences

Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers often have dream villagers. Toattract new villagersto their home islands, players can either visit other islands or wait for someone to visit the campsite. However, the game only allows players to have 10 villagers at any time. This means that, in order to make room for new villagers,players will have to kick someone else out.

Getting someone to leave the island onACNHis often bittersweet.Sometimes the choice is easy, as players may not be too thrilled about one specific villager, but other times the decision can be much more difficult. The feature shared by Searching-For-Home makes it a little easier to say goodbye to certain villagers, knowing they can be summoned back and will still remember the player. However, the fact that villagers can remember that they once called the player’s island homecould also make some feel guilty about asking them to leave.

Our Take On ACNH’s Amiibo Villagers Remembering Us

The Guilt Is Real

Even now, nearly five years after its release, the community continues to discover new details aboutACNH. There are currently over 500Animal Crossing: New Horizonsamiibo cards to collect, and we now know to be a bit more careful with choosing who to boot off the island to welcome new friends. Ensuring you have an amiibo card for your favourite former residents meansyou can at least summon them back for a coffee and catch-up.

I confess I haven’t logged into myAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsvillage in a while now. Knowing that my villagers are still out there, living their lives and waiting for me to return makes me want to take out my Switch and pay each of them a visit. It also makes me feel quiteguilty for all the villagers I’ve gotten to leave my islandjust because I wanted to invite someone else to live there. After all, my villagers got me through a difficult year. Even though they’re not real, they hold a special place in my heart, (especially the delightfully positive Flora!)
