The cloud save is disappointing but seems to me a thing that can't be solved without making the game always online
I wish nintendo made an emergence cloud save for games like this. But I guess that is too much to ask considering the quality of their online services at the moment
I'm pretty positive this is how it's been for every single animal crossing.
Only one town per system, and each user lives in it. At least it's not Wild World, and four players had to share a house together.
Source? It filled up the memory card that came with the game, but iirc said card was far smaller than a standard GC memory card.GameCube memory card was practically filled by a single AC save in the first place ,
With the DS and 3ds games you could buy a second game card and the GameCube one was as simple as swapping memory cards. While the others required some additional expenses per player, they were barely a tenth of the price of the switch and there were reasonably logistic reasons for them (I.e. the amount of space you could make writable for a DS/3ds game was limited, and a GameCube memory card was practically filled by a single AC save in the first place , to the point where a memory card was included as standard).
No such reasonable logistical reason exists for switch to not allow people to have their own Island on a single system if they so wish.

It wasn't a technical limitation, correct? It was a deliberate design decision?

remember GC cards being somewhat prohibitively expensive to just buy like that
Yeah I lost my New Leaf save once and never found the courage to start again, that was devastating.this however is bullshit. always terrified of losing my AC save.
The only price I can find for official ones was 1400 yen at launch according to ign, which wasn't great but certainly isn't on the level of needing a second console either.
Those who know more about how the Switch works can hopefully explain: how might micro SD cards affect the problem? Could you theoretically have your Animal Crossing save on your SD card, then insert a different one to play a new island on a different profile? It'd be similar to the GameCube workaround.But it appears New Horizons saves to the Switch itself, so no matter how many copies of the game you try, yo
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure save data for all games is tied to the internal system memory, regardless of whether or not you have an SD card inserted.Those who know more about how the Switch works can hopefully explain: how might micro SD cards affect the problem?

I had an Animal Crossing town and three Chibi-Robo saves on one card. Unless you mean it filled more than half, and that multiple would consequently not fit.It filled up a standard GameCube memory card. That's the reason it came with it's own.
This is fine.
It's been like this and was fine. Preferable in some ways. My little brother would play whilst I was at work and it was always cool getting home and seeing what he'd done for us.
8 separate islands would likely add up to some huge save files.
You can even play both at the same time by sharing joycons.Wait.. does this mean I can create a character on an island - and then hand the Switch to my partner and they can create a new character on the island, and we can swap between the two characters at will?
Because that would be great.
