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.
Bad Mario Party clone that requires you to own an Animal Crossing Amiibo to play.
Mario party without the party
surprisingly has potential if it was a better game
Clearing my Backlog Part 5: Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
This game is really bland and just uninspired. It is one of those cases of not being so unbearable, just not entertaining. The amount of boredom I had just tapping the amiibo and watching text boxes was large. Why didn't they just map the dice spin to the A button? Tapping every time gets tedious. This game sucks and just seems like it was made to promote amiibo and to not actually be taken as anything else. Don't bother.

im unable to play this for now since my wii u pad is broken, but i just had to own every animal crossing game 😍 i will update this review when i get a chance to play this~
Kinda Funny How Hated This Is Lol
yall hatin, play this shit
Not really worth anyone's time these days, since it requires having the money for amiibos, and the actual boardgame isn't that exciting. However, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I have fond memories of playing this with friends and getting fucked over by the stalk market and the random event spaces. It's like if Monopoly was somehow worse but also somehow ten times better at the same time.
As a lifelong Animal Crossing fan, I have to say this is the most boring game I have ever played. It's not like an infuriating boring to me, it's more like staring at the screen long enough will send me into a trance where I will do anything to not think about or interact with the game. It should be classified as torture.
The mini games in New Leaf were more fully fleshed out and had better utilization of the Amiibos than this whole game designed around buying and using them.
This is a cute scam and a waste of everyone's time.

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.
this instigated my relapse.
Great excuse to buy amiibo, if nothing else. Which makes me feel dirty, like a willing participant in capitalism.
Boy 3 was a menace for NO reason
It's not what I wanted the only Wii U Animal Crossing game to be AT ALL, but it's one of the best games to play with small kids. It's about as difficult as the board game Candy Land, but it's still charming.
"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.

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

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.
yeah it's bad but it works. nothing here is unbearable it's so bland, boring and cynical. at least the amiibos are cute
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.
the main board game is just a run of the mill children's board game (note: children's board game, not family board game), and that's fine, because that's all it wants to be
the side modes are where it's at, though, desert island escape is great (it's in new leaf too though), and the others are fun too

bro u had the potential of a life time for post-wii countryside Meditation New Age S-class ULT, fringi dingi vacuum suck my nuts CLEAN
The 2 Amiibos that came with the game are berry goo
This is an example of Nintendo at their highest point of hubris. The Wii U was essentially dead by 2015. I was using it more to play old Wii games than new Wii U games at this point in its lifespan. A new Animal Crossing game might not have been able to save the console, but it at least could have showed they were still listening. Instead, they released an awful Mario Party ripoff that you needed separate toys to even play. The results were obvious. My local Walmart had unsold stock of this game well into 2019. They couldn't move it even marked down to 10 dollars. Nobody wanted this, or even asked for this. It was predatory in its practices, but because it was Nintendo it didn't get the flack it deserved. This is one Wii U game that Nintendo hasn't ported to Switch and it will likely stay that way. For good reason. A black stain on the reputation of an otherwise great series.
An Ok Game, nothing good, some fun modes, but overall just play animal crossing New Leaf
mario party really went all out on the gimmick for this one
i just want to have an actual videogame for gods sake
This is like the most agregiously cynical thing that Nintendo has made. This game has the creative energy of a tax form
Hilariously awful.
