Much of theAnimal Crossingseries is beloved by its fans, save for one notable exception.

In fact, with a few tweaks, I think it could work pretty well on the Switch 2.

While some of the mini-games were okay, they didn’t justify buying the game or its tie-in Amiibos.

The Amiibos were another fair reason to dislikeAnimal Crossing: AmiiboFestival.

There were eightAnimal CrossingAmiibosreleased alongside the game which all had no functionality outside of it.

I also think for the game to work, it would need to ditch the Amiibo gimmick.

However, I see some potential in anAnimal Crossingboard game.

I think a cozy alternative to the cutthroatMario Partyfranchise would be appealing to a lot of players.
