Downloadable content (better known as DLC) are items that are distributed by Nintendo or that are received during special events. New Leaf takes advantage of distributed items that can be downloaded to the Nintendo 3DS using SpotPass, which downloads content to the console when the game is switched on or left in stand-by mode.
To get the DLC in the game, the player must go to the Post Office, speak to either Pelly or Phyllis, and choose "Ask about a present". Either one of the clerks will connect the game to the internet to check for available content. The item is not forced upon the player from Pete or other characters, as was in City Folk.
Since the European release of New Leaf on 14th June 2013, several downloadable or distributed items were available for players in Europe. A few of these items were eventually released in North America, but many remain Europe only or already existing items. They were available either by a monthly download at the post office, or by distribution via Pete from Nintendo.

The Slushie Machine was released in European countries in July, to celebrate the sudden warm weather and the start of the Summer in the region. It is the first downloadable item in an English speaking country which is obtained by a letter from Pete, rather than by talking to Pelly or Phyllis. The accompanying letter from Nintendo contains an error, where the signature at the bottom cuts out the final 'f' on staff. |
Dear <Player>,
Beat the heat with this awesome slushie machine!
Enjoy the summer sun, but be careful not to drink too much, or you'll get
brainfreeze!

I got some rolling suitcases to help me commute to the new Animal Crossing Plaza that's opened on the Wii U. Here's one I had left over. Hope you'll come visit me!

The 3DS will automatically connect to the access point if unlocked and will indicate that it's connected to a Nintendo Zone (otherwise, the user can just connect normally and request DLC from the Post Office). The Cloud hotspots may be found in locations such as McDonalds or Game Mania.
