A fortune cookie for sale

Getting a Fortune

Getting a fortune.

The Fortune Cookie is a food item in New Leaf. It can be bought from Nookling Stores for 2 Play coin Play Coins each, which can be earned with the Nintendo 3DS's pedometer. After the fortune cookie is eaten, the player will read out its fortune, and the slip can be exchanged for a piece of merchandise if it is brought to Timmy or Tommy. Most of the prizes are items that were available via DLC or the points system in previous games. There are currently 57 fortune tickets; 5 of which (#4, #6, #16, #30 and #38) are duds, and the player will receive a normal, random furniture item instead of a special item. Some fortunes may be actual sayings from previous Nintendo games, such as #35 and #9.

During some months, some limited sale items are added to the rotation of items, such as the firework items during the month of August and Glow Wands during the month of December. As a result, there may be only one, or no cookies for sale on any day.

Trivia

  • If a fortune cookie is fed to Dr. Shrunk, he will eat the fortune along with the cookie.
  • Many of the items won are from Balloons or Nook's Point-Tracking-System in the earlier games.
  • Fortune #4 is most likely a losing ticket due to the number 4 being unlucky in Japan, as it is read as "shi", which is the word for death.
  • Fortune #34 is a reference to Captain Falcon's famous taunt from the Super Smash Bros. series: "Show me your moves!"
  • Fortune #51 is an apparent reference to the lackluster commercial performance of the Wii U and its eventual positive turnaround in public perception.
  • There were only 50 fortunes before the Welcome Amiibo update.
