how many islands have you had? 🤔🏝️

[Bui]

I've only had two, one on my main Switch and one on my Switch Lite. I haven't done a whole lot with that second island though.

 

[CylieDanny]

2!

I e had my first ever island, Rainbow, and then I made Fugiree!

I have a side switch, but Im not gonna count it

 

[Romaki]

Definitely more than 5. I'm a terrible perfectionist and I always found tiny things to bother me. I'm on my final island though now, I resetted for weeks until I got everything I wanted (fruit, airport, rocks...).

 

[michealsmells]

Juan. Only Juan.
Utopia, which I got on launch day of 2020! I love that island so much and I've never even considered getting rid of it for a new one, especially considering I barely open it up nowadays.

 

[Croconaw]

I’ve only had one island. I was lucky enough to have everything I wanted on my first island. I didn’t reset for airport color or anything. I was fortunate enough to get blue and oranges on my first try. I’m not sure I would’ve reset, though, if I didn’t. I was too eager to start playing I didn’t want the introduction phase to take longer than it already was.

I’ve had 3 - my day one island (which I still have) and 2 islands on my second switch.

2 Islands

One is my main island
The other one is the "temporary" island that I can always restart whenever I feel like it.

 

[stitchmaker]

I have an island on 2 Switches.
Main Island was started on release day and never reset.
2nd Island on 2nd Console was started 2 weeks later to get the missing fruit. It took 2 resets to get all the fruit. Started the game after that.

 

[Hunter_Gr33n]

Just one from release day. Sometimes I've considered resetting but ultimately decided against it every time. Getting another console wouldn't be an option either since, like @/xara said, it wouldn't be the best decision financially.

 

[Galatea]

I have two islands. I didn't want to restart my original launch day island, so I got myself a Switch Lite and another copy of the game, just so I could have a second island to play around with and reset to my heart's content.

 

[~Kilza~]

Just my original one. I never saw the need to start my island over or have a second island.

 

[Corrie]

Just the one! Restarting is so tedious in this game that I just have stuck with my island. Plus I kinda like it as is and am still working on it. It hasn't been completed yet.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Four. Three of them became total nightmares to try to tend to after I listened to Isabelle’s “advice” to plant some flowers. Those flowers ended up taking over 90% of the free space on my Island and I couldn’t get rid of them fast enough. I’d dig for two hours to toss them out and the next day the flowers doubled from before. So by the time I restarted for a fourth Island, I refused to listen to Isabelle and this one is my best Island. The rating still went up enough for KK to start playing concerts and I could finally start planning out the different areas I wanted on my Island.

 

[QueenCobra]

I only have one island. I'm new to the series overall, so I'm not sure how most people play it, but I love the little community I've made...I don't let any villagers move out lol!

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

Lost count but I know it’s more than 5 times I’ve restarting on my one switch.

It’s taken forever to find the perfect Island and Island name for me but I’m overjoyed that I finally found it

 

[Aerith]

Two, but they're practically mirrors of each other. I only restarted because I couldn't change my representative's name and was tired of seeing it. Thought it was going to be more overwhelming than it ended up being, so I'm very happy I did it.

 

[KittenNoir]

I have kept the same island since day one
I made my island back in 2020 then decided I hated it so I just deleted all the items to restart decorating.

So basically I have only had 1 island

 

[themysterybidder]

I've currently got 3 islands.
My 1st one is called 'Hazzard' from February 2022. I would never ever restart that one, even though there is no theme and it is by no means perfect, but it was the first time I met my precious Buck so it will always be a special island.
2nd one I started in June 2022, it's also called 'Hazzard', only because there wasn't enough characters to write 'Hazzard County'.
3rd one, I decided to name it something completely different, Sapphire, after my favourite gemstones.
I don't think I would ever have the courage to restart the other two, as I would hate to have to try and catch fish again! Even though I've not completed anything in the museum apart from the fossils!

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

If I remember correctly, just 3. The first island was Termina when I got the game, the second (and current one) is Newgrounds, and my 2nd island is Neko Isle.

 

[Romaki]

I just checked that I added my 7th island to the NookLink. That's a good number to stop at for me.

It's cute to see my island name history in there, though I hope we get name changes in the future.
