@Shiryu That's exactly what I saw at first too!

@GauBan I've heard enough. People like you make me sick. I hippie your house burns down with all your pirated games in it. Please don't ever call yourself a Nintendo fan in public.

@GauBan haha that's like saying wii u's aren't meant to play wii u games just because it can. It's testicles logic. you act like this device wasn't made specifically with illegal intentions in mind. That's how it's presented to the public. Just stop trying to justify it to make yourself feel better. This thing and everyone who buys one is no better than petty thieves. It's the same crime in a different skin.

The second Yoshi feature is more of a novelty than a necessity. I could imagine the complaint if they locked the entire Co-op mode away, but not this. I appreciate that you do own amiibo and understand wanting to leave them boxed but unfortunately one person using this for the right reasons doesn't justify the hundreds using it for piracy. The tool as a whole offers way more harm than it offers good.

@Bowser908 you are the most misguided person I have ever heard. Look out a window. EVERYONE has behavior like this. Amiibo unlocks have never once been mandatory to the game nor are they locking behind paywalls. That's never how they were meant to be viewed. They are lifetime rewards for people who buy the figurines. If you don't want the content don't get the figures and vice versa but attitudes like yours are toxic to any industry. There is no way to justify piracy in any form. Stealing is still stealing no matter what kindergarten logic you apply to it. Just pay for a damn amiibo if you want them.

@thatguyEZ everything about this device is illegal by itself. . . Not only that just owning one is illegal by itself. That's how piracy works.

Piracy is illegal in any form it takes. Anyone who is whining about stock need only to wait a bit. Amiibo are being restocked pretty well and that's how I got the ones I missed.

People want the cake and they want to eat it too, and in this case also want it for free. The world doesn't work that way. Even large corporations need to get money from their goods or it hurts the industry as a whole. Devices like this are toxic as they are now. There is no reasonable excuse in the world as to why devices like this should be supported. I hope they get shut down sooner rather than later.

@ALEC_EIFFEL I love advance wars but the fact that you can't find depth in games like Mario tennis clearly means you aren't playing them right. I guarantee I or anyone who knows anything could beat you 100% of the time like that.
If you think Sony has done anything right you are clearly living in a different universe. Microsoft is doing fine but Sony hasn't released a single good game that wasn't available elsewhere or a remake. The fact that you are so supportive of that proves all you want is the same game over and over since remastered is literally in the title of 50% of their best games.
In short, stop hating on games you know nothing about. This is my last comment since your a Sony fan boy I don't want to be seen talking to you

@Nicolai this is an argument I understand. They missed a lot of great unique games that they didn't really show in the direct. I'm actually super excited for fatal frame and am upset they barely showed it.

@ALEC_EIFFEL haha you are literally proving my point for me! For starters do you really think that if a trailer for the first WarioWare were to be in the direct and no one heard of the series before that people wouldn't hate just as bad if not worse than they are hating on everything else? That's extremely hypocritical. Games like that don't get loved until after they come out.

And the fact that you use Mario tennis open in an agreement like that tells me all I need to know about you. You are shallow. You look at things at surface level and refuse to dig. Mario Tennis Open is one of the most skill based games Nintendo has ever released. You wouldn't know that now would you? You either haven't played or barely played long enough to figure out the controls. Play against someone half decent and you would lose everyone by "letting the game play itself". Nintendo includes options like that to be more inclusive of their customers.

What trailer were you watching of amiibo party? The game play from treehouse showed a lot of interesting things that will be great in a Mario party game. Although trying to convince you is futile since you already made up your mind. That's just the type of person you are and why I actually feel really bad for you. Amiibo party could be the best party game ever made and you would still hate on it. You can keep waiting for Sony to actually release something and trying to argue with people on the Internet because gosh darn it they just won't agree with you. I'm more than satisfied with Nintendo.

@ALEC_EIFFEL haha you're hilarious. I might be what's wrong with Nintendo but you are what's wrong with the games industry. You want the same games year after year. You want company's to stick to what their good at and never experiment. You judge games entirely on 30 seconds of footage without ever touching them. You are the reason the industry is stagnant. If only casuals are allowed to like Nintendo then they have it much better off.

You want to know why I will buy all of Nintendo's games? It's because they are fun. Plain and simple. No other company knows how to create a polished experience that puts fun first quite like Nintendo. People who are afraid of Splatoon because of the colors and are afraid to play kirby's epic yarn because it looks childish miss out on so many great experiences.

Yup I also love spin off titles. They show that a series is doing well and the developer is willing to take a chance. Mario 3D World would not have been as good with out the Mario karts and Mario parties right next to it.

@PlywoodStick I have been happy with the e3 showing since the morning of. Don't assume everyone hated it. I love everything they showed and will be more than happy this season.

Alrighty for starters let me just say that I am more excited for amiibo festival than I would be for a new main title in the series. I love party games. Check. I love animal crossing. Check. I can play it with my parents who have never played anything but animal crossing. Check. Most importantly, it surprised me. It made me so happy that it was unexpected. A main animal crossing game would have been fine but nothing they could have done would surprise me. To be honest the series is a little same-y. A couple spin off titles will do so much good in making the franchise as a whole better and animal crossing deserves it. The fact that they are willing to experiment like this means that the series is in a great place in the eyes of Nintendo and their fans.

there are a lot of good points in the comments but people keep ignoring a really impact thing about animal crossing amiibo festival. It may not actually be a game for them. The vocal crowd on the Internet is not the demographic targeted by that game. Most of the people who are super passionate about the series are not on the Internet. My parents love animal crossing and I'm always trying to get them into more games. I think this is a great way to add another game to that list. This game is made for people who haven't tried any games other than animal crossing. It's made for parents to share animal crossing with their young kids.

If this game bothers you or you have massive complaints about it. If was probably not made for you. Don't assume everyone hates it or nobody wants it. A lot of the people that do just don't watch e3, don't follow game news, and aren't on this website.
