''Photos with Animal Crossing'' requires the use of the rear cameras of the Nintendo 3DS to scan AR cards. The Start "?" AR card image, which is usually included with all Nintendo 3DS console packs and bundles, and three ''Animal Crossing''-themed ones released for the app, are compatible. When recognized, the ''Animal Crossing'' AR cards trigger an augmented reality appearance of one of five included [[special characters]] per image, whilst the Start "?" image reveals the [[Town Tree]]. The characters can interact with each other and the Town Tree in various ways. If all three cards are present at once, there is a chance of DJ KK appearing in place of K.K. Slider. Photos can be taken with the R button at any time, and they are save to the console's SD card and can be viewed via the built-in Nintendo 3DS Camera app. Additionally, the user can add one of four effects to the screen by using the D-pad: up causes confetti to appear, right causes bubbles to appear, down causes shooting stars to appear, and left causes snow to appear.

Gameplay

Gameplay of Photos with Animal Crossing

Photos with Animal Crossing requires the use of the rear cameras of the Nintendo 3DS to scan AR cards. The Start "?" AR card image, which is usually included with all Nintendo 3DS console packs and bundles, and three Animal Crossing-themed ones released for the app, are compatible. When recognized, the Animal Crossing AR cards trigger an augmented reality appearance of one of five included special characters per image, whilst the Start "?" image reveals the Town Tree. The characters can interact with each other and the Town Tree in various ways. If all three cards are present at once, there is a chance of DJ KK appearing in place of K.K. Slider. Photos can be taken with the R button at any time, and they are save to the console's SD card and can be viewed via the built-in Nintendo 3DS Camera app.

Additionally, the user can add one of four effects to the screen by using the D-pad: up causes confetti to appear, right causes bubbles to appear, down causes shooting stars to appear, and left causes snow to appear. When a card is recognized, the player can grab characters with the L button, change the position of the light source or color of the light with the Circle Pad, or mirror the camera's image horizontally. The face buttons start a timer, which automatically takes a photo when expired; A creates a 3-second timer, B creates a 5-second timer, Y creates a 10-second timer, and X creates a timer of a random length.

The following characters appear per image:

Release
