Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is a 2015 party video game developed by Nintendo and NDcube for the Wii U.[3] Similar to the Mario Party series, the game is a spin-off of the Animal Crossing series that moves away from the series traditional format, instead being a party game that primarily integrates Amiibo figures into the gameplay. Alongside the release of the game, 8 Animal Crossing Amiibo character figures were released for use in the game. It was released worldwide in November 2015.

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival was a commercial failure and received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, who criticized the repetitive gameplay, poor Amiibo integration, and lack of innovation, though its presentation was praised.
