Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is Announced for Wii U

Nintendo has announced Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival at their E3 2015 press conference.

The game is coming some time this holiday as a bundle with the game, two Amiibo figurines, and three Amiibo cards. Featured above, you can view the game’s reveal trailer.

While most fans expected another similar game in the series, the new game is essentially a dynamic board game, in which you fight to collect the most Happy Points. The board can be the same layout, while spaces and environments can change, depending on the season. You can even buy turnips and use various stratagem to decide where to make it big on the market.
