Nintendo UK Launches Weekly Animal Crossing: New Leaf Contests

Nintendo ACNL House

Nintendo are giving away money! No, that is not a pun against their profit margins. They are giving you the chance to win great prizes, so now you can play with a new motive. It’s time to get creative in the world of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Starting this week, Nintendo UK have launched the first of series of weekly contests, with the top prize being £50 of eShop credit. You can at last afford a new digital title. Ahem.

Using social networks – a massive part of the gaming community at present – and using the 3DS Image Share through your 3DS’ web browser, Nintendo appear keen to keep people active and talking about this already popular release.

Firstly, by following @AC_Isabelle on Twitter, you can check out the details yourself as they are announced. There will be six week-long contests, and the below shows the first of them.

(For those unfamiliar with Twitter – you should read from the bottom up)

Yup, you gotta build yourself a Nintendo house. I hope you’ve been buying those fortune cookies from Timmy and Tommy.

For any entry to be valid, 3 things must happen:-

  • The hash-tag must be correct – #ACNLTheme1
  • Any entry must have been submitted through the 3DS Image Sharing Service, using your 3DS browser.
  • Your Twitter account must be following @AC_Isabelle

The first week will end at 11:39pm on 28th July, and the prizes are pretty cool. Check out the official contest page for details on this great concept (and the full terms and conditions).
