    did it work !??

    23 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Couldn't you just set it to backup your island in game(via Cloud) , then delete it from your system to start fresh with the option of going back to your original island if you ever felt the need? Youd obviously have to delete the new island you started in or to restore your old island but, in theory it could work. Im going to give it a try lol whats almost 300 hours on my current island anyway, right 😬😬🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Nintendo has had an Animal Crossing game for each console, since Game Cube.

    20 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Will moving one person’s save data to another console remove the island completely for another profile? Or will their save data stay?

    19 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Yeah but that doesnt mean requiring us to buy another Switch or another copy which is $60 BY THE WAY

    18 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    I don't think they're ever going to change this. Nintendo wants as much money as possible from AC lol

    17 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Any upates on how to bypass the 1 island / Switch system imposed on us? It's really annoying.

    16 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    oh, that's true! i didn't think about that. I'm especially picky with my island layout and design

    15 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Wait a minute will other players get a chance to destroy my stuff?

    14 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Why only 1 island per switch :(

    13 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER SWITCH? WHAT?

    12 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    This sucsk

    11 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    So technically, you can't move your existing island to another console? You have to start over?

    10 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Why would you delete your save file tho

    9 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    One island for all users WHACC

    8 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Why do different account saves have to share an island? Why does a Switch console act as an "island?" Can someone please explain to me why it has to be this way?

    7 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Same! LOL
