Would you share your island with your significant other?

[Nougat]

Say you live together with your significant other, and you own one Switch console. You both play Animal Crossing New Leaf on your own though as you both have your own 3DS, but we all know now that in this situation you'd need to share an island with each other in New Horizons. I'm really curious to know what you'd all do. Would you up for sharing an island? And share creative control of what your island will become.. Or would you hate to share that much that you'd consider buying a new Switch or Switch Lite?

I don't have a SO but if my sister wants to play New Horizons I'll be sharing my island with her. I don't think it's worth buying another switch. We shared a New Leaf town for nine months when I didn't have a D.S. with only minor arguments

i've already shown him the music from it and he absolutely LOVES it already lol. he's never heard of or played it before though so it's gonna be fun to watch.

We don't live together but we share a switch. I've never been too picky about how the actual land of my town looks? never bothered resetting too many times for a new villager to be in the perfect spot... either way, getting a whole new switch for just one specific game isn't something we can afford right now. even if we could, I don't think i'd bother.

I’d be buying another switch lol. My island. Lol

 

[oath2order]

No.

Hippity hoppity, stay off my property.

We play together in New Leaf on our 2/3DSXLs, so we'll absolutely share NH. We each have a Switch Lite for handheld and an original Switch for the big screen. There's not enough information on NH to make any solid plans and rumor/hearsay/wishes force us to wait for the delivery of two cartridges from Amazon sometime after 20 March. Lookin' forward to it! Edit to clarify: While we will share AN island, we will still have separate towns/islands that are strictly our own, just like ACNL.

 

[Ossiran]

If they were interested, why wouldn't I? If they want their own, they'll do that. Just gotta set up a few rule of dos and don'ts if you do share.

 

[QueenOpossum]

My boyfriend has no interest playing on his own but he said he'd play with me. So he will have a character on my island.

 

[toadsworthy]

I've been very vocal about NH coming out and my close loved ones not hearing as much from me for a little bit lol. I have my boyfriend and my sister and her husband who i hang out with very regularly, and I have told them they are more than welcome to move in lol but my sister and brother in law, I don't think so. My bf came over and was content to just hang out with me playing pokemon sword when it came out, he isn't too big on video games and never had any growing up, but its more that he is into anyway to hang out with me. I think AC is gonna be a good vibe for him since its not competitive. Usually me and my sister will play smash, mario kart, or I'll play pokemon which is way to technical for him... I think AC will be a good fit for us though

and if we break up, I'm sure I can just delete his house

and in the meantime I have someone who can doubly help me collect resources

I do not have two Switches, so I would likely just let them dabble on an alternative character in my file. They do not actively play Animal Crossing really, but once in a while I can get them to play. I know they will respect the work I put into it so I do not see it as any trouble really. I am kind of looking forward to the thought of us gathering and crafting together.

 

[Romaki]

Nah, I want my Animal Crossing experience to be the way I want it to be, the game is too important to me for me to let it be dictated or possibly ruined (by a break up) by someone else... and in general I'd like to be games about my progress and such, but I'll share if I'm not passionate about the game.

 

[Cottonball]

My significant other is ACNH ( ͡? ͜ʖ ͡?)

 

[Corndoggy]

i would, i already plan to share my switch island with my best friend (she doesn't own a switch), so it wouldn't be that bad sharing with my boyfriend also. Me and my boyfriend recently just started a new town in city folk together and so far we are doing good, both working on the museum and getting items for the other. He was really swete actually, we saw wolfgang was in our town (one of my all time faves) so he let me have the house right next to his <3. i think if my best friend didn't want to play anymore (doubtful) i would find it easy to share with my partner.

 

[pinkfawn]

Nope. We both have very different tastes and I want to be able to do whatever I want with my own island. I want my own villagers, etc. We also each have our own switch so its not like we have to share an island anyway. This is going to be his first Animal Crossing game (he bought New Leaf but never passed the tutorial stage because he was intimidated by my town being built up for 3+ years), and I want him to experience it in his own way. He can come visit anytime he wants, though.

 

[Seroja]

yeah I'll let my husband fish on my island, and maybe he can move in too why not. but fishing is the only thing he'll get to do on MY island.

 

[returnofsaturn]

yesss! It will make it even more fun to live together on our little island (,: My boyfriend has never played animal crossing but I am going to f o r c e him to play with me :: (hes alright with that)

 

[dizzy bone]

yeah I'll let my husband fish on my island, and maybe he can move in too why not. but fishing is the only thing he'll get to do on MY island.

Omg lol :'D I was thinking whether I should let my brother try making a character on my island. He used to play CityFolk and his favourite thing to do was fish. He literally did nothing else!! So I think I'm going to let him do the same thing in my island :'D

When it comes right down to it though I wouldn't be able to "share" my island with anyone that's not in my immediate family. At least not the creative process and letting them choose villagers and whatnot. In my experience, even IRL friends I've introduced to the franchise have stopped playing after a few months, yet here I am still going strong haha. I'd probably make a character for a friend/SO who wants to try it but if they stop playing or lose interest, I would delete their character. I'm not waiting around for them to revive their interest and join me again. If it was a family member like my brother or aunt (who used to play WW so I wanted to let her try ACNH some time) I would probably just keep the character and play it as my own alt later on if they lose interest.

 

[Mokuren]

I would never share a town with my man xD He is so goofy and we don't have the same taste at all. He doesn't even like animal crossing but if he would like it he have to get his own switch xD
I want to create my own island. The lansscaping would be really difficult with more than one person. We also get into small argurments over the decoration in our appartment. So no he will never touch my town xD

 

[isabll]

Not quite the same situation, but my family used to play AC together on the Wii a while back and both my brother and father have expressed interest in the new game. As long as they let me choose the layout of the town and which villagers to keep, I'm cool with them playing. I think AC is better when shared, personally.
