SERIES 1 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Release Date : 10 October 2002 # of Cards : 66 Retail Price : $3.29 (a pack) Description : This first set of Animal Crossing e-Reader cards were insanely popular among fans of the series. Players across the country could take a break from collecting items in the game and satisfy their collecting needs in real life! For the first month or so after launch, Animal Crossing e-Reader cards were still hard to find, most stores having sold out quickly. Packs of five cards could be found in stores for outrageous prices of $7.99 and up! Thankfully, they became easier to find and are now in stock and available at most video game stores. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHECKLIST =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHARACTERS [ ] A-001 - K.K.

So far, Nintendo has released cards for 'Ice Climber' and 'Mario Bros.'; perhaps if a Series 5 sees a release, we'll get more games (Super Mario Bros., anybody)?

PROMOS AND MISCELLANY =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Nintendo has been known to satisfy their hungry fans' appetites with fun and new additions to their gaming experiences. Animal Crossing e-Reader cards are no exception. As a result, Nintendo has released promotional e-Reader cards to become well prized treasures in the collections of Animal Crossing fans. Hopefully, they will keep this up, and fans will have tons of interesting new cards to add to their sets! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHECKLIST =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [ ] E-001 - Animal Crossing Promo e-Reader Card ("K.K. Ska") This card is included in the promo pack of e-Reader cards that is packaged with the e-Reader peripheral. This pack also comes with the Manhole-e Game & Watch game, and three cards from the Pokémon-e: Expedition series. When this card is scanned in-game, you receive a letter from K.K. Slider welcoming you to the world of Animal Crossing e-Reader cards, as well as the aircheck for "K.K. Ska." If you scan it through the e-Reader when it is not connected to the GameCube, you will be given a passcode for a Gold Stereo that you can redeem in-game. [ ] E-002 - NES Link Promo Design Card This card was included in the polybagged December 2002 issue of Nintendo Power (#). This card, when scanned at the Tailor's, loads a design of Link (from Legend of Zelda) holding a triforce. This design can be applied to clothing, umbrellas, walls, and floors. The card came attached to a cardstock square that has information about how to scan it into the game. [ ] A-061 - Tom Nook, A-101 - Boots, and P-01 - Boy (1) / Relay A While not exactly "promo" cards (ie. they are indentical to the cards found in Series 2 packs, and have no different numbering), these cards were promotional items given to certain retailers a week or so before the release of Series 2. Like 'Air Hockey', these cards were given to select retailers to be given away in promotion (in this case, for the soon-to-be released Series 2 Animal Crossing cards). Boxes containing a few hundred cards were delivered to most GameStop (Babbage's) stores, where you will be given a set of these three cards. Like I said, they're not anything special.. but free cards is definitely worth note! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= VI. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. What's an e-Reader, and what does it have to do with Animal Crossing? The e-Reader is a peripheral that was released by Nintendo on September 16, 2002. The device allows for cards containing patented dot-code technology to be scanned in, producing a result (mini-games, information, etc). In Animal Crossing, the cards store item data which, when scanned, sends your character an in-game letter with an item enclosed (furniture, or even an NES game!) For a detailed guide on e-Reader use, see: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/animal_crossing_ereader.txt 2. What items can I get by scanning Animal Crossing e-Reader cards? There are three different ways to get three different items by scanning Animal Crossing e-Reader cards. They are: - Sending passcode printed on card to any villager - Sending passcode printed on card to pictured villager (character) - Scanning card through e-Reader at Post Office When you send the passcode to any villager in your town (enclosed in a letter, of course), you almost always receive a reply in a few days, with a piece of furniture attached! If you sent the code to the villager who was pictured on the front of the card, if you receive a reply, it will have an NES game attached! No word yet on whether or not you can get the more rare NES games this way (but as of now, I highly doubt it). If you scan a card through the e-Reader (after loading the program from the Post Office or Tailor Shop), your character will immediately receive a letter from the pictured villager, with a piece of furniture attached. 3. What about all these other cards (Town Tune, Design, etc.)? In addition to the Character cards featured in every Series, Nintendo includes cards that yield different results when scanned. Card Type: Town Tune Found In : Series 1, Series 2, Series 3 Image : K.K. Slider song title and picture. Scanned : @ Town Tune Board (near Post Office) Result : Loads Tune found on card into game. Replaces your current Town Tune. Card Type: Design Found In : Series 1, Series 2, Series 3 Image : Mabel and Sable showcasing a design. Scanned : @ Tailor Shop (speak to Mabel) Result : Loads design found on card into game. Replaces one of your current designs. Card Type: Special/Mini-Game Found In : Series 2, Series 3 Image : Character (Boy or Girl) Scanned : e-Reader (not connected to GCN) Result : Loads a mini-game onto your GameBoy Advance. An e-Reader application in which you scan multiple Character cards and have them participate in a mini-game. Card Type: Sibling Found In : Series 2, Series 3 Image : Two special characters that are siblings. Scanned : @ Post Office (regular e-card) Result : There's no real difference other than the fact that there's two codes on this card. You get a different in-game item depending on if the card is scanned, or the password is mailed to a villager, and depending on which passcode is used. 4. Where can I purchase Animal Crossing e-Reader cards? Animal Crossing e-Reader cards can be found at: EBWorld (http://www.ebworld.com) $2.99 (a pack) KBToys (http://www.kbtoys.com) $2.99 (a pack) GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com) $2.99 (a pack) Wal-Mart (http://www.walmart.com) $3.29 (a pack) CompUSA (http://www.compusa.com) $3.99 (a pack) Toys'R'Us (http://www.toysrus.com) $4.99 (a pack) Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com) $4.99 (a pack) These prices may not be accurate, these are to the best of my memory. Basically, your best bet is purchasing cards (if possible) at EBWorld (you can easily order them online with a credit card), or just check in at your local video game store. If anyone has any contributions to this list (major chain stores only, please) feel free to e-mail me with the store name, website (if applicable), and retail price. Thanks! 5. I need ____ to complete my set! How can I get it!? Trade, trade, trade! I know it's hard not to be unsure and skeptical about trading items across the web, but you'll find that most people around here are trustworthy! Trading via snail mail has been one of the most fun and enjoyable things about collecting Animal Crossing e-Reader cards. You can look (or post) offers on the GameFAQs Animal Crossing e-Reader message board: http://s2.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.asp?board=34366 If you're all about spending extra money, however, you can always check eBay (http://www,ebay.com) and see which cards you can find for a good price. 6. When will ____ be released? She/he's my favorite character! Release dates and character lists for upcoming Animal Crossing card sets are slowly becoming available. Besides this FAQ, another good source is Nintendo's site (http://www.nintendo.com) since it is updated more frequently to their site dedicated primarily to the e-Reader (http://www.nintendo-e-reader.com). Also, check latest issues of Nintendo Power magazine. I will be updating this FAQ as much as possible with new information as it comes. 7. How can I safely store my cards? Animal Crossing e-Reader cards are made of the same standard cardstock as most other trading cards (such as Pokémon, Magic, etc.) and are the same size. You can easily store your Animal Crossing cards in any assortment of card pages, boxes, and sleeves. I, personally, keep my cards secure inside card pages in a nice, hard plastic binder. It also wouldn't hurt to first put the card in a thin plastic card sleeve, then slip that inside the card pages. You can purchase such items at gaming and sports card stores, such as: GamesandCards.com (http://www.gamesandcards.com) -> Click on "Supplies and Accessories" I recommend the 'Ultra Pro Nine Pocket Platinum Series Pages', out of their selection. You can purchase 100 pages for $14.99, or look around in your area and see if you can find less pages, cheaper. Most gaming/sports card stores sell pages individually for anywhere from .10 to .25 (average) each. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= VII.
