Because Animal Crossing tradition of having the same island / city, apparently.
All save data is stored on the Switch's internal storage, you can't have it go on the sd cardI've never actually tried this, but this means you can't just stick your old Switch SD card in a new Switch and have access to all the data on it?
It seems that transfers will work if you're on your own Switch and perform a full system data transfer, but a single account can't copy the save dataSo basically you're screwed if you want to move your save data to another Switch. What the actual fuck?
Then Nintendo should probably change how that functionality works, right?
Where is that "yup that's wood" gif
What other way is there to have a shared island that automatically sync between profiles?

The file/save that contains the island, which is probably the most valuable aspect of the game, is shared between every profile. Every profile then has a separate file/save for its configuration and character.
Where? All information just points to the current account transfer option, which is not a system transfer. You are only moving a single account at a time. Not the entire system's data. The problem with AC is that the save is not account specific, it's system specific. All accounts share the same save data. So transferring one account, even if it's the main owner's account, to another Switch doesn't move the save data as the other accounts still remain on the original Switch.
Ah that's what you mean. Sorry I'm not a developer and never played AC before so I don't know.My question is, why do you need to do a shared island?
What is the game design benefit of this?

it seems technical to me.
You get to live together and share the experience. You and your SO can complain about how you keep geting crappy villagers instead of Gabriel and Pietro or work together to make public works projects and whatnot. While forcing you to the same island is crappy, not letting you share the island would suck a lotMy question is, why do you need to do a shared island?

boiled down to bare minimum, it's a town, neighbor, and home simulator that runs in real-timeWhat exactly is Animal Crossing? If you guys don't want to answer me (understandable), can you link me to a good article/video explaining? Are there any old ones on 2ds?

Yep, glad I can backup my saves for stuff like this with homebrew. But if my Switch breaks then I'm still screwed tbh.
Wait so you buy a new switch you can't transfer the save? Not even a whole system transfer?
i see the fan base is thirsty for news.
How does single screen multiuser work?
a whole system transfer is a whole system transfer. if it doesn't end up working I'll eat my proverbially hatWait so you buy a new switch you can't transfer the save? Not even a whole system transfer?
that happened to me with the gamecube versionAC is my non-medicine mental health gaming medicine. I don't know if I can deal with the ever-looming anxiety of losing my progress.
I was planning on getting a switch lite for this, so I wouldn't have to lug around the big case, and go back and forth with cloud saves. Guess i'm not doing any of that now huh
I forgot NoA had an era account.I don't see the problem. You get to play the game all over again. Sounds more like a feature. Its new game plus but without the plus.
no
I wish I had all dog neighbors
