Series 5 of the Animal Crossing amiibo cards has been confirmed to feature 48 cards. Only 33 cards were shown off in the recent Animal Crossing: New Horizons direct, so it may be possible that even more villagers that have been cut could make a return! Could we see the Nintendo-themed characters that were added in New Leaf make a return like Ganon, Wolf Link, and Inkwell?

Tell us what you think! Are you excited for these characters to return? Let us know down in the comments or continue the discussion in our Discord!
