Looks like fossils can now be miniaturized if you wish once you have all of the parts. Instead of donating or selling fossils, you can place them on a table or something in a miniature form!
Translation by Saratoga/mattmagician:
Hello! This morning I ran into somebody who found a fossil! They took it to the museum to identify it.♪ When that’s done, you can donate it, sell it, or keep it. I guess it really depends on the person. Recently though, it’s popular to collect all the parts of a dinosaur, and “remake” it into a model figure!

Looks like we’ve got a new villager in this new screenshot! Based on the rough translation, they appear to be Portia and Nadia.

After a short break Nintendo is back in action with a new tweet talking about the Fishing Tournament. It runs once a month between the months of October to May. The remaining summer months will most likely have a Bug Catching Tournament instead of the Fishing Tournament.
In the screenshot we can see that the Fishing Tournament has some sort of a tent now with an official closing ceremony! You can see first, second and third pedestals for the winners of the tournament.
Google Translation:
Hmm considered! How did you spend your weekend? In our village, fishing tournament was held on Saturday! I’m fishing tournament will take place during the month every month 10-12 months and 1-5! Can I get a prize and so caught a big fish, ne ~ everyone please join us!

Take a Relaxing Vacation on the Island of Endless Summer!
Former Mayor Tortimer, after retiring, is now living on this resort island of endless summer. You can take many kinds of tours and purchase gifts to bring home amongst other things. Enjoy a relaxing vacation either by yourself or with everyone you know!
Visit Lots of Towns in Your Dreams!
When you sleep in the Dream House, you visit an actual person’s real town. You can freely walk around their town and visit houses while dreaming!

KK’s Famous Tunes Are Now Club Music?!
Every Saturday night you can enjoy listening to KK Slider’s music at “Club 444.” (Note: Club 444 in Japanese is referred to as “Club Shi Shou” or “Club See Show” – it’s a cute pun.) From Sunday to Friday, during D.J. KK Time, you can enjoy KK’s normal sound with a club music twist!
Say Hi to Far Away Friends!
When using your megaphone, you can call one of your animal friends by saying their name inot the 3DS mic. Even if they are far away they can still hear you and respond!

Thanks to Saratoga from TBT and Daniel from GoNintendo for these translations.
Nintendo has updated the official Japanese website for Animal Crossing 3DS with two new pages and two updated pages. They’re full of brand new screenshots, artwork and information to translate.
This time we seem to have a screenshot of a basic barebones house on the left and an upgraded customized house on the right. The upgraded house appears to be heavily customized with house pieces from Tom Nook. This is almost certainly taken inside the Model Homes area which makes use of StreetPass.
Google Translation:
In the hope that you have seen in Kent, who delivered the photos in the exhibition hall housing! “Happy Home Exhibition” ♪ I’m able to, thank you also model house is not just visit the hall, the furniture that you like to order direct!
The end of this translation implies that you can order the furniture you view in the Model Homes.

This time we’re getting a picture of Kent who is Lyle’s assistant. Apparently he takes you up to the Model Homes area. I might have it slightly wrong though so let me know if you happen to have any more information.
Translation:
Today is a weekend, do you have anything planned? I have dinner with Kent’s twin brother working in the exhibition hall housing. Model houses are gathered by passing in communication you can visit so I look forward to passing with someone too.
Extra special thanks to Prof Gallows for the proper translation.
