Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival announced for Wii U; E3 trailer and screens

Update

We added the Nintendo Treehouse Live segment (Day 2) for the game: you will find it below, after the break!

***

Yesterday, during the Nintendo Digital Event, Nintendo revealed a brand new Animal Crossing game, which is coming out this year on Wii U. It’s called Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, and as the name implies, it puts a heavy focus on amiibo figures (but also the amiibo cards, which are compatible with the game).

Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival is a party game, in which the board is based on the months of the year… just like the other games in the Animal Crossing series. Your goal is pretty simple: become the happiest villager!

Nintendo will release a special bundle for the game, which will include:

– the game;
– two amiibo (Isabelle and Digby)
– three amiibo card;

Here’s the main features of the game:

• Party with favorite Animal Crossing characters like Isabelle and Tom Nook—who have become amiibo.
• Experience the Animal Crossing universe in light-hearted board games based on the calendar, including the four seasons and seasonal events.
• Bring your amiibo to the party, collect Happy Points, play with your friends, and save your Happy Points to your amiibo to expand your own game even more.
• Use Animal Crossing amiibo cards in fun minigames.

Here’s the E3 trailer and some screenshots/artworks (+ pictures of the amiibo and the bundle):
