It&#8217;s not an AC game at it&#8217;s core but looks a lot more like a cross between <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> and the <em>Mario Party<\/em> series. And just like recently released <em>Mario Party 10<\/em>, amiibo can be used in the game.<\/p>\n<p>You can bring your Animal Crossing amiibo figures to life in the game. For launch there are eight amiibo with at least another four on the way. To lauch you&#8217;ll have Mabel, Digby, Lottie, Reese, Cyrus, Isabelle, K.K., and Tom Nook available. While you&#8217;ll need just one amiibo to play the game there are two packed with the game. Isabelle and Digby. Friends can join in even without their own amiibo, by choosing a villager character to play.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->When your game is over, you can save the Happy Points you&#8217;ve collected to your amiibo figure. Save enough points up and you can even unlock new costumes for your character. Also the Animal Crossing amiibo cards that you&#8217;ve no doubt been collecting can also be used to play more modes and even add characters to your game board. There is a cool video that shows off some of this on the <a href=\"http:\/\/animal-crossing.com\/amiibo-festival\/amiibo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Animal Crossing website<\/a> that I can&#8217;t embed below unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p>And, if your amiibo card has a home design saved to it from the <em>Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer<\/em> game, you can add that character as well as the exterior of the home you designed for them.<\/p>\n<p>Check out below the television commercial from Nintendo of Japan which was just released as well. Stills from the American commercial are below.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z-5a1Ml2Bwc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/jQUko9niqkGxW6XoVVWQ4w\/132842584950\" data-did=\"53498727d8404aafcb73a078a0dc428f85b27a90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/132842584950\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom\">http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/132842584950\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/secure.assets.tumblr.com\/post.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo is releasing the first Animal Crossing game on the Wii U on Friday.
