If you have already worried what about your-Insel happens, if you buy the Nintendo Switch 2, we have good news for you. You can simply transfer the entire island and further data to the new console - much easier than before from one switch 1 to another.
Animal Crossing on Switch 2: This is how the island transfer from the old switch works
That's what it's about:, But a new animal crossing game has not yet been among the announcements. But now we know that it will be very uncomplicated to continue to maintain an existing island on the Switch 2.
This is how the island transfer works:To transfer the island of Animal Crossing: New Horizons from a Switch 1 to the Nintendo Switch 2, you can use the corresponding option for a complete system transfer on the console.
With this you transfer everything from your old to the new switch-including the Animal Crossing score. While you then keep the scores on both consoles, the island actually switches completely to the new device and is then no longer available on the old switch.
Programming Management Group Senior Director Takuhiro Dohta toldPolygon:
"If you carry out the system transfer, everything remains, such as savegames, on the Nintendo Switch-and is then also on the Switch 2 as soon as it has been transmitted. But the [Animal Crossing] island actually moves. So it leaves the Nintendo Switch and is then on the Nintendo Switch 2."
That is of course particularly practicalBecause you can easily do a direct, seamless and complete change without having to take detours.
The matter still has a small catch:If you want to carry out the complete system transfer from Switch 1 to the Switch 2, both consoles must be near each other. So if you sell your switch before you have the successor, you cannot use this method for data transmission.
There are other methods
If you want to put your Switch 1 in payment beforehand, you can still transmit your island and scores with the help of the previous methods.
You can use the cloudAnd save your island online so that you can download them later. However, you need a paid Nintendo Switch online subscription.
Otherwise there is stilldie Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Transfer-Appthat you can download for this purpose for exactly this purpose mentioned in the title to your Nintendo Switch. This means that your island can currently be transferred between Switch Lite and an OLED model.
However, it is currently not yet one hundred percent whether this function also works downwards and works on the Switch 2.
Do you prefer to keep and maintain a new animal crossing or your beloved island on the Switch 2?
