The rumor seems to have originated from here with the source being nintendo.es but that page no longer seems to exist as it was probably removed.

There is no official confirmation so it should be taken as a rumor for now; though it does look pretty good for a fake. Hopefully the Animal Crossing amiibo tie into a new Animal Crossing game on the Wii U!
