    It's a nice way to put your amiibos to use. It's a party game, so don't expect deep or too complex gameplay mechanics, but cards and action figures are implemented in an original and interesting way.

    I honestly don’t see where all the hate for this game is coming from; Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is an enjoyable board game that blends in the elements of Animal Crossing perfectly.

While the game maintains someAnimal Crossing Amiibo Festival fails at being an interesting party game and at being an Animal Crossing game. While the game maintains some of the wit and charm of the mainline games, it is drowned out by the mundane and RNG reliant gameplay. As a die hard Animal Crossing fan I cannot recommend this game to either fans of the series or people wanting to try out the series for their own. This game is not worth the $60 price point either, while you may argue "Oh it comes with two amiibos!" you cannot advance past the start screen without an Animal Crossing Amiibo, locking you out of the game unless you own one. It feels as if Nintendo dragged a very prominent series through the mud just for the sake of selling Amiibos.… Full Review »

    Watching the nintendo press conference and hearing animal crossing and wii u in the same sentance made me jump out of my seat I couldn't waitWatching the nintendo press conference and hearing animal crossing and wii u in the same sentance made me jump out of my seat I couldn't wait to see it and we got this.

The only positive this game has charming visuals and characters while running at a nice 60FPS. Other than that the charm of animal crossing can only do so much. Bland mini games terrible amiibo support and just a pure boring factor the only reason to buy this game is for the amiibo other than that a huge waste.… Full Review »
