Only One Island Per Switch
It’s already been a part of more than its fair share of controversy, but we’ve got to mention it again just in case it’s slipped by any of you prospective New Horizons buyers.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not allow for more than one island to be saved on a Nintendo Switch. This is the case even if you have multiple User Accounts on the system. Everyone will play on the same island, with the same villagers and same fruit.
This may be disappointing to some players who wanted to personalize their island to their liking, rather than having to compromise with a family member or loved one.
Unfortunately, there’s no way of working around this one, but it has also been the case for most Animal Crossing games in the past since the GameCube version. That one allowed you to have a different town per memory card, but considering the premium price for memory cards, you were still somewhat limited.
Anyway, best you know now rather than once you’ve got the game and arguments ensue!
