surprisingly has potential if it was a better game

This is a pretty good candidate for the worst game Nintendo's ever made. Imagine playing Mario Party with no minigames and only 1 board. There's no way that this was ever something that someone wanted to make. The minigames are almost OK but not enough to save the entire package.

the core game is probably the worst game i've ever played. gorgeous, though, and looks great through my tears. desert island escape is great

It should be a federal crime to make a game this boring.


I bought this to cum on the isabelle amiibo

Pretty sure we can all agree this is the Animal Crossing franchise's low point. The main board game mode is woefully inadequate & the minigames that're also part of the package don't fare much better. The most fun I had with it was playing the trivia mode with my sister & that's about it.

my first animal crossing experience :(

Yo sé que mucha gente odia este juego con relativamente justa razón (o entiendo el por qué). Pero este juego me ayudó mucho cuando estaba haciendo la práctica, llegaba tan estresado que literalmente jugar un Mario Party de Animal Crossing donde no habían minijuegos y casi no pasaba nada, era justo lo que necesitaba en ese momento.

(Also, el tema del crafting en Animal Crossing técnicamente partió aquí en el minijuego de la isla desierta, así que como siempre, hasta en sus tropiezos Nintendo siempre encuentra algo que rescatar para el futuro).

How to ruin a Christmas morning, a bored game where there’s no buttons, you can only progress by tapping an amiibo on the screen, can only play if you have one, can only play as the character you have, want more? Better buy the trading cards fucko, this is the scummiest thing Nintendo has done.

This game seems like a neat idea, but when played it’s quite boring. If the mini games were actually implemented into the board, this game would go from a 2.5 stars to 3.5 stars instantly for me. Without the mini games, it’s just a less fun version of Mario Party.

The amiibo bit was also unnecessary, but I already had a handful of Animal Crossing amiibos to use, so I didn’t really mind.

Carried by Desert Island Escape but that was put in New Leaf later so oops

It was such an insult to Animal Crossing fans that we got THIS but no proper Animal Crossing on the Wii U.

mario party really went all out on the gimmick for this one

Yep, this is a weird concept and one of the biggest mistakes Nintendo ever did, especially considering that this made everyone watching the 2015 Direct a very underwhelming reaction since everyone was expecting an ACTUAL new Animal Crossing.

I like many others, bought this game thinking it’d be Mario Party but with Animal Crossing characters.

Unfortunately there is literally no mini games to play, and unless you had multiple amiibos you were forced to play with CPUs and not your friends.

There really just isn’t a “game” to this. The lack of minigames makes it just a literal walking simulator in the form of a board game. It just was such a massive disappointment it felt like a spit in the face.

Whoever greenlit this non existent game needs to be studied under a microscope.

It's definitely telling that this was made to promote the Animal Crossing amiibos, and I didn't even bother to get any aside from the ones in the box and Tom Nook.

yeah it's bad but it works. nothing here is unbearable it's so bland, boring and cynical. at least the amiibos are cute

I think people watch videos about this game and assume it must be hilariously bad. But its not. I've tried to play this game with friends, and the best we could do to make it fun was read the dialogue in funny voices. Its a 4-player couch co-op party game that is mostly dialogue. It is just boring.

It's literally just random!

Possibly the most underrated Nintendo game ever made.

"We need Animal Crossing amiibo!" - Nintendo

That's literally the only reason why they made this game, something that should have just been a free game on the Nintendo eShop, managed to somehow become a full retail game you can buy on disk, that you can't even play unless own the Amiibo. Nice cash-grab.

Terrible for an Animal Crossing title, and awful for a party game. Nothing happens and its soooo slow to do anything. Plus, playing the game and getting new characters are locked behind a paywall.


Bad Mario Party clone that requires you to own an Animal Crossing Amiibo to play.

it's not TERRIBLE, i did have some fun playing it. but it's not good, and definitely not worth the price that it originally cost.
