February is almost here and the first DLC item for the month has been revealed by Nintendo. Players of a Japanese copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf can expect to receive an Aurora Screen DLC item starting on the 1st of February.

The Animal Crossing: New Leaf DLC schedule for January 2013 has been announced by Nintendo. Check out these two new DLC items after the break that owners of a Japanese copy can receive next month!
The latest free DLC item for Animal Crossing: New Leaf is being sent to owners of the Japanese game. This time around you’ll be getting a festive Yule Log item to go with the holiday season! Act fast as the item will end distribution after December 25th.
To receive the Yule Log DLC item, make sure you have SpotPass enabled for New Leaf and then visit Pelly at the Post Office. She’ll hand you the item once the data has been transmitted to your 3DS via SpotPass.
Let’s hope Nintendo keeps with the free DLC releases in the future, this is the fourth item released so far since the game released on November 8th.

There’s not much to say about the item really, it’s basically a Christmas themed stump with snow around it. Distribution of the item ends December 31st.

It’s almost Thanksgiving and to celebrate Nintendo is sending out a Turkey Dinner DLC item to Japanese players of Animal Crossing: New Leaf through November 22nd. The Turkey Dinner can be placed on a table as seen in the picture.
Simply turn on SpotPass at the Post Office and make sure your Nintendo 3DS is connected to the internet to receive the Turkey Dinner directly from Pete at your door.
Expect more free DLC items such as this in the future. As a reminder, Nintendo has promised they will not charge for any add-on content in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Japan is getting some promotional 7 Eleven furniture in December. These items include a 7 Eleven model shop, a counter with a cash register, and more.
Just bring your 3DS to a local 7 Eleven in Japan to wirelessly receive the exclusive furniture in your Animal Crossing game. You’ll want to come multiple times throughout the month as new furniture will be offered every week.
What are your thoughts on these types of promotions? Does it add to or take from the game’s atmosphere to have outside branded products like these in the game?
