The e-Reader is a device made by Nintendo. When plugged into a Game Boy Advance, it can scan cards, which have specially encoded data printed on them, to perform various functions, such as play a game or interact with another game.
Use in Animal Crossing
When the e-Reader and Game Boy Advance are connected to a Nintendo GameCube playing Animal Crossing, cards from the Animal Crossing-e series can be scanned to affect gameplay, such as obtaining exclusive pattern designs or receiving gifts such as rare NES games. e-Reader functionality is only available in NTSC and Australian PAL versions of the game. The Europe release of the game disables all e-Reader functionality.
Cards
There are 4 different card sets. Once scanned, they can give the following items:
- The two NES cards can give players the game shown on the card.
- K.K cards that gives music.
- A promotional card that comes with the e-reader gives a surprise item.
- In the Japanese version of Animal Crossing, the player can scan 'Character Cards' that makes the designated character move into the player's town.
