Move the amiibo card artwork to its own category?
I feel that almost all of the renders in this category should be moved to their own category called Category:amiibo card art (or "artwork," but "art" seems to be the prevailing style for villager image categories). Although series 1 amiibo cards were released pretty much at the same time as, series 1-4 amiibo cards are compatible with multiple generation 3 games, including and , and were not meant to solely represent. In a way, the amiibo cards could almost be more strongly linked with character art rather than  character art, due to the inclusion of the dice and rock-paper-scissors symbols, features that are exclusively used in. I believe that the amiibo cards are meant to represent generation 3 as a whole, rather than any specific game of the generation 3 games.

(However, to 's credit, the amiibo cards are still pretty strongly linked with, because if you scan them, you can actually see the little card backgrounds, dice symbol and all, in your client book, like here. Though the in-game character sprites overlaid on top of the cards aren't the same as the amiibo card renders and are unique to .)

The series 5 amiibo cards, which came out 5 years after the series 4 amiibo cards, were released a year after the release of. Similar to how the series 1-4 amiibo card artwork is extremely similar to the style of the renders, you can see that the series 5 amiibo card artwork is definitely extremely similar in style to the  renders. However, series 5 amiibo card artwork is not the same as the renders. Take Cephalobot for example: although he has amiibo card series 5 artwork of him looking to the right (here), he has a completely different render, which is his actual render, of him looking at the audience (here). Both are being categorized as Category:New Horizons character art, but I feel this is inaccurate. I feel it should be categorized as either Category:amiibo card art, or a sub-category, such as "Category:amiibo card series 5 art."

I think that the amiibo card artwork should be moved out of Category:Happy Home Designer character art and Category:New Horizons character art, and into Category:amiibo card art instead. HylianAngel (talk) 23:15, March 21, 2023 (EDT)


 * I totally agree. There are pieces of NH artwork that aren't associated with Amiibo at all, so Amiibo art should be in its own separate category. I think we should consider doing something similar with E-Reader cards too, especially the U.S. ones since the artwork they use is exclusive to them. Making these changes would make it far easier to find Amiibo-specific artwork and E-Reader card-specific artwork. FizzyCocoaMan (talk) 00:14, March 27, 2023 (EDT)
