The amiibo placement on the gamepad is fine, but it contradicts the guest player's means of playing the game. What is not okay is what something someone mentioned a while ago guest players can use the gamepad's buttons. One may ask, 'why not buy an IRL board game then' good question, but I just see this game as a typical board game, just in a different coat of paint, so I'm okay with playing it as such. I actually find that to be ok, because the concept is supposed to directly emulate a board game. If the player was given a lot more freedom towards customizing the board, this could've had many players spending countless hours making their own personalized town.Īlso, people complain that you have to constantly place amiibos on the gamepad each turn. Here, it's clear a small amount of different layouts can be achieved with placing PWPs on the board. Granted, I don't like how tedious New Leaf's PWP placement process is ('you cannot place a street lamp here as there is a river about 20 miles away from us, if I'm going to exaggerate), but at least that gives you reasonable freedom. But here's a better idea how about using our own towns as boards? Maybe that's too ambitious, so how about something basic, something so basic, I'm surprised it's not the case there are only a set number of properties you can place PWPs on. Anyway, a huge trend I notice in the Board Game is 'wow, this is a cool idea, but it's not enough of it' for example, placing Public Works Projects in the board game? That's freaking awesome. This actually could have been my favorite party game ever but well I mean, whatever. I'm not so much annoyed at Amiibo Festival for not being another traditional entry as much as I am that they failed to push the game to its full potential. I strongly believe Animal Crossing, other than Mario, is a very suitable series to use as a foundation for a board game, as well as other sorts of genres, since Animal Crossing's premise is doing whatever you want a lot of the 'objectives' in Animal Crossing can be fleshed out into their own little things. I have not unlocked all the mini games yet (I believe I've yet to unlock the Card Battle game.) nor have I actually played the other ones extensively, so I'm just gonna go off on the board game only. I have to agree that it's definitely evident in the game, specifically through a number of nuances I noticed in the Board Game. Amiibo Festival only existed to fill a spot in Nintendo's Wii U library, like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash.
