You'll have to buy another Switch to have a second island - confirmed

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.
Very true. Like when Sam asked to look up in the sky but it was misinterpreted as something about the weather and sparked the conversation about the hemisphere options.
 
This is so disappointing. I won?t personally have an issue with this because I tend to stick to one town, but I can see how much this sucks for people who like having multiple towns or people who share a switch with their siblings.
 
This really isn't much different from the other games. You've always needed another game, memory card, or console if you wanted multiple towns. The only difference this time is that despite different profiles, the game is always saved to the console instead of a memory card or game cartridge.

It sucks, yes, especially given the amount of control you have but this is how it's been.
 
and... dare i say this without getting banned (lol) but hacking is always an option. it's pretty simple to just get a save manager on your switch and load different saves onto your game. people who don't wanna do anything illegal with hacking can still use this option! i know i'll be using a save manager if we can't have two towns - i already do for my new leaf towns!

is it as easy on switch as on the 3ds? :eek:
i heard of people getting banned and stuff
but its also a lot of time till then i bet it gets easier and easier as time goes on

it's easy but risky. many many people got banned because they pirated games or used hacks online, but using a save manager and then playing a game won't be that detectable under nintendos radar... a ban of online play is and always has been a risk but as long as you aren't doing any illegal things or messing with your console too bad. you'll be fine.

i hacked my switch just to use a save manager and nothing else, and i've gone online without a ban. :)

im glad to hear that tbh. i would only use it for that too so it should be fine.
 
with the switch being region free this really makes me hope that the different regions of animal crossing new horizons will be recognized as different games on the switch. splatoon 2 also worked this way because of the regional DLC and events, even though there was overlap between online player interaction (and even some of the aforementioned DLC and events).

my one fear right now if nintendo decides to keep the one island per switch rule is that each cart of ACNH will be the same and the type of language you choose at startup will determine your region....
 
Why not? it would be good for sales, I knew someone on twitter wanting their own island for every family member

- - - Post Merge - - -

also if my switch breaks I'll cry
 
Oh, it'd be nice if that was the case!

Yeah that's actually true. The Switch will play all games from all regions just fine but if you have the same game twice but from different regions it will see the game as seperate. And it also makes seperate save files for them on your system.

I forgot about this!
