    Ok, now I get it. I thought it was just a bad game that got too much hate. I didn't realize they sold it at 60 USD just like their other main line games, then also needed 4 amiibos for the full game experience. And it's not even as fun as other party games where you actually have more sense of agency. I think Amiibo festival can be great for kids, but even kids won't play this too long because it's all based on luck.

    • @genericname2747
      @genericname2747 4 місяці тому +10

      I assumed it was a free game, considering you already need to spend money on Amibos.

    • @hatcher365
      @hatcher365 3 місяці тому +1

      actually no, it only requires 1, which you can get 1 of in the physical version.

      I disagree with this, Mario Party fills that role already.
      This isn't "great for kids" it is low effort using kids as an excuse.
      An unfortunately common trend for making quick money.

  • @fabby2998
    @fabby2998 3 місяці тому +28

    16:59 The funny thing is: I've witnessed a CPU get the money tree space once. *And it still lost* because the CPUs are garbage at the stalk market (i.e. they don't go all in). They were only a couple happy points behind though, so they would have easily won if they were slightly better/luckier or if I didn't have a commanding lead already.
    I've also gotten a similarly rare bad money space where it's you *planting* the money tree. It makes you *lose 30k bells* because that's the amount you bury to do it.
    Also, another *amazing* design decision: other human players CAN play without amiibo figures and play as a human villager. They will roll the dice with the A button instead of scanning the amiibo (which begs the question of why the amiibo is needed anyway), BUT they will NOT gain a free happy point every time they roll, meaning that they're automatically at a *30 Happy Points disadvantage* compared to players who do use amiibo figures, for absolutely no reason at all
    The only good parts of amiibo Festival are the Animal Crossing Quiz and Desert Island Escape, but the former is now somewhat obsolete with New Horizons since it was based on New Leaf content, and the latter *was ported to New Leaf Welcome amiibo* anyway, with the added perk of giving you unique furniture for completing it, making it *objectively better* in New Leaf because of that incentive to play it, so now there literally no good reason to play amiibo Festival
    The only reason I don't regret buying it is because I got it new on sale for only 15€, which was worth it just for the amiibo figures and cards and I consider the game to be the free bonus instead of the other way around

    • @edfreak9001

  • @pinkdarkboy7127

    The truly infuriating thing about Amiibo Festival is that it was announced when everyone was desperate for a new console Animal Crossing. The WiiU never got a true Animal Crossing game. If Amiibo Festival had come out after a true Animal Crossing game on the WiiU, it still would have been a bad game, but it never would have been as hated as it is. WiiU era was truly the Nintendoomed era.

    • @TheWrathAbove

    I have this game, but not for the game itself, It was like 15-20 bucks, and that was cheaper than buying the two Amiibos it came with separately, lol. So I bought it as an Amiibo collector at the time. I didn't even have a Wii U then. I think the Amiibos were cheaper later, as they made a massive amount of the Animal Crossing Amiibos, so they were super cheap later down the line.

    This video is insanely good! I love your sense of humor and editing, combined with the self destructive desire to master something that super duper sucks and is uncontrollable. The vibe reminds me a lot of a video on youtube where a speedrunner tries to master the super RNG King Boo fight in Mario Sunshine.
    Great job and keep up the good work! I'm definitely subbing. Though I won't blame you if you wanna play something more fun next.

    unironically i would love a super casual and chill party game, as long as it was a *fun* super casual and chill party game. surely there is a way to do that right?

  • @BeeTeaBoi

    I am totally a part of the 1% of people who love the game. I only heard such negative things about it, I got it as a gift because I was collecting the amiibos and it was on sale, and I got obsessed with playing it because I wanted to unlock all the alternate outfits for characters.
    I think "it's so bad it's good" and "I just love it and would kill you to protect it" is a great way to sum up my feelings towards it. Amiibo festival lovers stand up, we know our taste is bad but at least we're having fun!
    Also no online gamer I watch has played it long enough to unlock or do map customization and that makes me sad. Ya could have added the cafe...

    The thing about Trouble is that it's a basic game built around using your rolls to screw other players and get ahead, making it deceptively competitive. There's no random bonus, no long dialogue, no lengthy waiting for another person's two-five minute turn. That $10 game has won the battle and the war, lol. XD

    The stock market thing's a decent idea, but we've kinda seen that sort of thing with Mario Party, specifically:
    - MP1's Peach's Birthday Cake, where the "betting your money" thing plays out like Monopoly: pay up some cash to place a piranha plant on a space that can steal other players' stuff should they land on it
    - MP8's Koopa's Tycoon Town (and a couple other boards with a similar gimmick but I think most remember Tycoon Town in particular), where the hotels scattered about run on more of an auction format: each hotel gives out more stars the more coins are sunken into them, but only the player contributing the most coins to that hotel gets those stars

    There were numerous games on the NES and SNES that were very similar to this. You essentially walked around a Mario Party board and wacky scenarios would happen in text boxes every round. I assume this was an intended spiritual successor to those games. For some reason.

    I got amiibo Festival for $20 on Walmart clearance solely for the exclusive amiibos because I wanted a Goldie card and a Stitches card at that time. Didn't even own a Wii U. Traded the game itself in to the used game store for like $5 probably (was with other shit and you don't get an itemized list of values there, just the grand total). Still got more worth out of it than if I'd kept it or ordered regular cards online.
