      It’s not even just the GBA’s limits, it’s the E-reader’s limits, much smaller than the GBA. An e-reader card could barely hold a couple Super Mario Bros 3 levels, so it had to be extremely bare bones if they wanted to do anything animal crossing. Makes it even cooler IMO!

    I didn't know those e-Reader minigames were even a thing! They apparently weren't even mentioned on Nookipedia until January of this year. As the entire minigames are stored on the cards themselves as dot codes, there isn't even a trace of them in the main game code, which made them a bit tricky to re-discover. And of course, they never made it to Europe for obvious reasons.

    I always wondered those others GBA mini-games since I didn't have the e-Reader cards (except the one that came with the e-Reader) or played the e+ Plus version, finally it was nice to know the answer, so thanks!.
    Oh and just in case, despite that you need a GBA to play the mini-games, there is actually another way to play it and also helpful for make captures kind easily and is by the Game Boy Player (I played Animal Island in that way 😂).
    Only downside is that you need a second GameCube or a Wii with backwards compatibility and a TV with 2 video outputs (or an adapter).
    Also just in case, you forgot the other use of the GBA that is download the design's pattern mini-game at Able Sister which is just... play the mini-game portable and then transfer the design to the game (not quite a big deal but probably was a neat way back then to let anyone to design something on the GBA and let the other player to continue in play the game).

    The mechanics of the Animal Island game are also oddly complex for how simple it seems, I think more so than any of the other minigames mentioned. You have to manage your islander's mood depending on what happens to them, and you can give them food but each islander has different preferences. What items you can get (some of which are exclusive to this game) depend on their happiness, personality, and if they have a golden tool. All the sprites for everything are really cute. Also, I like the music and the fact that it changes tempo or into swing depending on the mood.

    honestly you brought it up mostly as a joke, but i have always been morbidly curious just what all HAPPENS in amiibo Festival under the hood. i played that game when it was new (tl;dr of my thoughts: it's not at all good on an objective level, but honestly? it's still a LITTLE fun with friends and family to tough out a "Bad" party game together... especially when it somehow becomes a very absurd competition anyways. though also, i have always been a fan of games that are so bad, that a weird unintended form of fun seeps in when you try to play them.) and with what i did play, i could NEVER get a proper read on just what all was going on under the hood. that game is basically if a so-bad-its-good jackbox party pack was programmed into a black box.
    ...also, at least it gave us desert island escape, and i think even Nintendo realized they made something TOO GOOD to consign it to there given it's literally just in welcome amiibo. ;P

      I’ve learned there are quite a lot of amiibo Festival fans… I definitely don’t think it’s a bad game, it was just disappointing to me as a Wii U owner looking forward to a mainline Animal Crossing on the console. In terms of gameplay… it’s serviceable, but at the same time if I want to play a party board game, I think I’d just play Mario Party. 🤔

    • @Aerafuz
      @Aerafuz Місяць тому +4

      @@Hunter-R. Real talk, I'm about to dribble out an essay.
      And that's really the only reason it failed: people wanted a mainline Animal Crossing and the idea that Mario Party is the only good party board game. (There's also the fact that people didn't want to open their amiibo to use them in 2015, but that's another story)
      The fact of the matter is, they really couldn't make a mainline Animal Crossing for the Wii U at that point, New Leaf was barely two years old (in the West) and the team was split doing Splatoon as they share the team, which is why Animal Crossing got 'small projects' with amiibo Festival, Happy Home Designer, the Welcome amiibo update for New Leaf, and later on Pocket Camp.
      It's why I groaned when Splatoon 3 was announced, because it meant New Horizons was going to end, since we really only got New Horizons once Splatoon 2 slowed down.
      But also on that end, Monopoly isn't the only board game out there, so why should every virtual board game be like Mario Party? I hear people all the time ask why there's so many platformers from Nintendo when Mario is the main one, but the thing is everything in a genre brings something different to the table.
      I found amiibo Festival better than Mario Party 10 simply because all I need is four amiibo and the gamepad to play, and the game came with two amiibo.
      Mario Party 10 had the gamepad, but each player needed Wii remotes for the mini-games, and if you wanted to play amiibo party in MP10, you needed amiibo as well. To which if someone had a Bowser amiibo every mini-game would be a Bowser mini-game and it would be entirely lop-sided favoring the Bowser player.
      I just think the hate for amiibo Festival was misplaced, or rather, it was hated due to hasty feelings from an impatient fanbase, ironic for a series that focuses on a slow relaxing pace to its gameplay.

    I think it makes sense that they would go through all this effort tbh! Given the original Animal crossing is an N64 port, they probably wanted to add as much value as they could for returning players, giving them a bit more of a real reason to re-buy. Obviously it was the first version of animal crossing released outside of japan so it doesn't apply for most of the world, but it still makes sense.
