New Designer for Raccoon-Owned Real Estate Enterprise Needed Immediately

Only Candidates Who Want to Make Hundreds of Animal Villagers
Happy Need Apply

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nook’s Homes is looking for you! The renowned real estate business is
seeking a new designer to help decorate the interior and exterior of
villagers’ homes and public facilities in town. Candidates must own a Nintendo
3DS system and the new Animal
Crossing: Happy Home Designer game and be willing to interact
with animals with big personalities who like to wear stylish clothes.
The highly coveted position requires a love of designing (obviously!),
strong animal skills (no brainer!), a knack for decorating (of course!)
and a passion for amiibo
cards (they’re cool!). Interested parties can contact Tom Nook
through snail mail, carrier pigeon, megaphone pointed in the direction
of Nook’s Homes … or by picking up Animal Crossing: Happy Home
Designer, now available for Nintendo 3DS.

• Great working environment: Working for Nook’s Homes places you
  in the esteemed company of other star employees, including Tom Nook,
  CEO and wearer of fabulous sweaters, Lyle, Tom Nook’s right-hand
  animal and real-estate veteran, Digby, brother of Isabelle and all
  around great pup, and Lottie, the newest member of the Animal
  Crossing family. Optimistic and outspoken, Lottie will walk you
  through the ins-and-outs of design. She’s a pro, so listen up if she
  offers you some friendly advice. (She even excels at posting
  on Twitter! Lottie truly is a renaissance otter.)
• Fun day-to-day duties: When you step into the role of designer,
  there’s no need to worry about daily office tasks like scheduling
  meetings or checking up on those all-important memos that
  OMG-have-to-get-out-before-the-deadline. Your tasks in Animal
  Crossing: Happy Home Designer are all about having fun and using
  your imagination. In fact, the motto at Nook’s Homes is “Have Fun!”
  Well, it’s not the actual motto, but it very well should be!
  What other job asks you to design the homes and town facilities for
  hundreds of beloved Animal Crossing villagers? That’s right:
  None of them! And designing is made simple and streamlined using the
  touch screen of the Nintendo 3DS system.
• Creativity encouraged: After taking on new design requests,
  your catalog of usable items and decorations will grow. And this will
  totally help with expanding your creative options. When animals come
  to you with their vision, they may think they know what they
  want, but by using the tools provided, you can design homes that are
  more creative and imaginative than the villagers ever dreamed! If
  someone requests a new home that is “cool,” you can flex your creative
  muscles and give him or her a house full of snowman furniture,
  snowflake wallpaper and a relaxing “cold” tub. Why not? You’re the
  expert.
• One-of-a-kind benefits: Let’s talk perks! Boy, there are some
  unique perks at Nook’s Homes. First and foremost: amiibo cards. What
  are those, you ask? They are the next evolution of amiibo and work
  with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Packs contain six
  random amiibo cards and can be purchased at a suggested retail price
  of $5.99 each. There will be hundreds of cards in the wild (perfect
  for trading with friends!), and each card represents a different Animal
  Crossing character. After tapping them in the game using the New
  Nintendo 3DS system or the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer
  accessory for players who own Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo
  2DS systems, the character joins your game and gives you a unique
  design request or can be assigned to work at one of the facilities
  around town! There are even some high-profile clients like DJ K.K. and
  Isabelle that will only visit if you use their respective amiibo cards.
• Giving back to the village: Designing homes is not the only
  focus of Nook’s Homes. If you impress them with your design savvy,
  they’ll even ask you to help redesign the school, hospital or
  Department Store to help build up the town.
• Positive reinforcement: Folks who love sharing their awesome
  work (who doesn’t?!) have many options in Animal Crossing: Happy
  Home Designer. If you’re working on a particularly creative
  request, you can share images of your inspired designs on Miiverse or
  your favorite social media channels using the “Image Share” feature.
  And since peer reviews are a staple of any well-run business, Nook’s
  Homes offers the ability to rank fellow designers’ creations in the
  “Happy Home Network,” which will be available through a software
  update at launch. Creations can be ranked in one of four categories:
  cute, cool, unique or “I want to live here.” You can even turn your
  designs into a QR Code pattern to share in the Happy Home Network that
  other designers can view.

With all this great information, how could you not want to take a
job at Nook’s Homes? It’s the best animal home designer job in the
competitive world of animal home design. All you have to do is get Animal
Crossing: Happy Home Designer in stores, the Nintendo eShop on

Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu theme. Prospective designers looking to get the
most out of this opportunity can also get the GameStop-exclusive Animal
Crossing: Happy Home Designer Edition bundle, which includes

plates and one amiibo card at a suggested retail price of $219.99. If
