Animal Crossing Brings More Amiibos to the Party!

Take note Animal Crossing fans and amiibo collectors: Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival for the Wii U launches Nov. 13!
With that game, Nintendo will be releasing it's next big wave of the collectible obsession known as Amiibos! Included in the $59.99 package is the game and two figures: Brother-sister pair Isabelle and Digby. Also in the box are three amiibo cards featuring popular villagers.
On launch day, Nintendo will also make available a set of K.K. Slider, Reese and Cyrus amiibo for $34.99. Individually packaged figures will be priced at $12.99 and will initially feature Mabel and the infamous Tom Nook. Lottie, who just debuted in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for the 3DS, gets her own amiibo on Nov. 22.
As suggested by the title, Amiibo Festival utilizes these figures as a major gameplay mechanic. Amiibo sync up with the Wii U to become the player characters for the series' take on Mario Party. Amiibo cards can be used during minigames.
I know this is probably huge news for Animal Crossing lovers, however Micah and I have never stepped too inside the franchise.
Though, we have, however amassed a pretty good collection of Amiibo figures. Hopefully with the addition of Animal Crossing into the Amiibo universe, stores will have more variety on their shelves. 
Fingers crossed.
