Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is arriving in Europe on 2nd October, and the region's subsidiary has now confirmed release details of various bundles and packs that'll give all 3DS owners a chance to get hold of the game and some amiibo cards.

The cards themselves are detailed a little, too. There'll be 'special amiibo cards' to unlock character's house that otherwise can't be designed in the game, and other cards with characters that can otherwise eventually be encountered. In terms of separate card packs, aside from bundles, each pack will have three cards - one will be a 'special' and the other two will be standard.

A range of bundles will be coming to Europe, and these are fundamentally the same as those coming to Japan this week. Details are below, and include options for the NFC reader / writer (which will also be sold separately) that supports amiibo on original 3DS systems.

We're hopeful that stock of the cards and non-hardware bundles will be reasonable, not to mention the NFC accessory for those that aren't on the New Nintendo 3DS train.

Are you tempted by any of these options?
