Nintendo releasing Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival bundle
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 27 Comments
Includes game, two amiibo figures and three amiibo cards.
Animal Crossing amiibo figures and cards get their own party game
The board layout can remain the same, but the spaces and even the environment changes, depending on which month players choose for their game. As in other Animal Crossing games, players can buy turnips and use strategy to decide when to sell them for big money.
Another mode challenges players to help animals gather supplies to build a raft and escape an island before time runs out.
One compatible amiibo is required per player and are (sold separately).
