Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival is a party game for the Wii U, announced during Nintendo's Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015 presentation on June 16, 2015. The game was released on November 13, 2015 in North America, and it is set to be released on November 20 in Europe, and on November 21 in Japan and Australia.[2] The game comes packed with Isabelle and Digby's amiibo figures and three amiibo cards.[3]

Not much was revealed about the game during the Expo, other than a few minutes of gameplay. It appears to be styled like the Mario Party series of party board games, in which a variety of Animal Crossing characters travel around a board and collect points.[4] Homes designed for villagers in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer will be able to be transferred into the game.[5]

A series of new amiibo figurines, including Isabelle, KK Slider, Tom Nook, Mabel, Reese, Cyrus, Lottie, and Digby, are to be released with the game, as leaked a few days prior to the Electronic Entertainment Expo event. Later, Blathers, Celeste, Kicks and Mr. Resetti were revealed as additional amiibos.

Gameplay

Board Game

Between one and four players can play the Board Game mode, where participants compete to earn the most Happy Points. Prior to beginning a game, each player must tap in an amiibo on the GamePad, in order to select the character they will play as. Players that do not tap in will use a Villager as their avatar. After choosing characters, the players select a month to play, which determines the events that can occur during the game.

A player's turn begins with a die roll to determine how many spaces they will advance. After moving forward, an event will occur, causing the player to gain or lose Happy Points or Bells; collecting 1,000 Bells earns a player an additional Happy Point. When the game ends, the player with the most Happy Points is declared the winner.

Minigames

In addition to the primary Board Game mode, Template:ACAF includes a collection of minigames, which are unlocked as the player accumulates Happy Tickets. There are eight minigames in total:[6]

  • Dessert Island Escape (one player)
  • Acorn Chase (one player)
  • Quiz Show (one to four players)
  • Baloon Island (one to four players)
  • Mystery Campers (one player)
  • Fruit Path (two to four players)
  • amiibo Card Battle (two to four players)
  • Resetti Bop (one player)
