You'll have to buy another Switch to have a second island - confirmed
- Thread starter Jesusrey91
- Start date
Has it been confirmed that we only have one island? While I think its unlikely that we could have more than one, I think its a greater possibility than Nintendo changing this set up. They know if they release an upgrade to the switch with an exclusive animal crossing theme, some serious animal crossing fans will buy it and have 2 towns that way.

You'd be surprised how many people are already planning to buy a second Switch just to have a second town.
I was disappointed by this at first but the co-op aspect and the fact that no one player has more power than the other (like in New Leaf where the first player had to be the mayor) makes this not bother me too much. I had always just scrapped my towns when I wanted a new one anyway.
I also have a feeling they're going to bring out an Animal Crossing themed Switch. No doubt that's going to tempt a lot of fans to buy a second Switch, especially people who would like to have more than one island.
yeah it's kind of shocking me the number of people I'm seeing say they're going to buy a second switch because of this. It makes me question if nintendo knows that people would rather have separate towns and is exploiting this to their advantage.
Very well could be, but like you said, its VERY shocking to see anyone thinking about a second switch at all just for the use of a single game, at the very least if you got physical you'd really only need one cartridge. But unless other games comes out with similar features, its not good to get two unless one is less functional than the other or if other games start doing something similar to give more purpose to having a second switch.

It's honestly not shocking to me at all. I'm involved in the Pokemon trading community. There are people who own multiple 3DSes to collect event Pokemon from different regions easier. I am not exaggerating when I know of people who own 3, 4, even 5 3DSes just for Pokemon.
If a certain game series becomes a major hobby for someone, they decide to do that sometimes.
I don't think it'll be too big of a problem as we can focus on making our island the best it can be, since things seem much different than the original town themed AC games. It is quite disappointing if you want to make different themed islands though. I was actually hoping it would be 1 island per account on the switch lmao, so me and my brother can have 2 different islands.

I used to just have one town but in New Leaf I started flexing my creative muscle and got a second one. If this is the case, I'm gonna go back to just one town/island, I have an xbox too and a friend will gift me his PlayStation soon, I'll have zero money to try to keep up with this and that just makes me sad
... call me crazy, but i'm excited to be limited to just one town. for however long this game is out, provided that nintendo keeps the one island limit, i'll be able to focus on making my one island better and always be improving upon it. i can take everything a bit slower and easier, instead of rushing through everything to move onto my next town. it'll be cool i think.
It's not that of a big deal for me. We don't have this annoying pwps anymore and therefore don't have to wait weeks to change your town all over again. It's great that we can be soooo creative with outdoor furniture. We can make as many themes as we want
To be honest here I see the apeal of the game. You can spend years with it and you will still change things and details
It's not like your town will be finished and you run out of things to do it's so dynamic now and I love it. No need for two towns anymore . Of course it's a bummer for everyone who wants multiple towns.

^ Big yes.
However, I'm sure it's both their strategy to sell as more consoles as possible (with which I find no problem) and one method to at least slow down the illegal actions that's against their concept, like hack.
Hm, I was looking forward to having multiple towns for myself with different fruit and themes, though I have no idea how I'd time to do all that. I have two New Leaf towns and that's already too much haha.
I have two thoughts though:
1) Game development is fluid and things can often change before release, or be patched after release. Nothing is set in stone.
2) Things often get lost in translation. I watched the Treehouse Live this week and none of Nintendo's developers seemed to speak a word of English so it's possibly just a miscommunication.

I?ll probably be shelling out the money for the Animal Crossing Switch bundle if I like the design, so I guess I will inevitably have two Switches anyway? I?m not too much of a ?multiple towns? person, though. I like pouring all of my love into one as it makes everything feel more special for me.
