Party with amiibo versions of your favorite Animal Crossing characters, such as Isabelle and Tom Nook.

What is the goal? Make your villager the happiest person in town by throwing a party with your pals. Bring to life a vast and dynamic board game inspired by the core Animal Crossing franchise, with a board based on the months of the year. In this party game, your amiibo figurines take center stage, and you’ll be able to utilize them to access entertaining stuff. As a reminder, Festival is offline-only, and you only need one controller (the GamePad) to play, which is passed around to everyone involved.Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is an unique way to interact with your favorite Animal Crossing characters. It looks like Nintendo is really trying to incorporate amiibo into lesser known games that are more prone to fail, like the recent Chibi-Robo toy that was held hostage by the game bundle in the US. I was initially excited for this but $60 is pretty rich, as not even Wii Party U was this expensive, and that came with a controller. I can confirm that the toys will not be packaged individually, as was the case with Mario in the Mario Party 10 bundle - sorry collectors.

Nintendo did not comment as to whether or not the amiibo would be available separately, or what the “limited time offer” logo means for Digby on the box. Scanning a figure to the GamePad will allow you to play as that character, and the game itself supports one to four players. For that price, you’ll get the disc as well as two figures - Isabelle and Digby - and three amiibo cards. As confirmed by Nintendo to Destructoid today, amiibo Festival is a $60 retail game and not a download.
