View source for Animal Crossing promotional hints

The production company behind Detective Conan releases various commentary, hints, and teasers about upcoming manga cases and movies in the Japanese version of the Nintendo 3DS game ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''. These monthly hints, which appear to be written by Gosho Aoyama himself, started appearing in January 2014<!--Need more accurate start date.--> and have continued through October 2015. Japanese players can receive these hints in-game by interacting with four characters named Heart, Clover, Spade, and Diamond who appear in the player's town.<!-- I need more accurate info from someone who actually plays new leaf on how to get the promo characters to appear and where in your town they do appear--> These four characters are skinned to look like various Detective Conan characters.
