If you're still willing, I'd love to grab it and exchange something in return that you might need or want!

Can we post friend/Dodo codes in this thread or do we move to PGS?

I'm on right now. I don't need a return. Easiest way is for you to just open your island and tell me where to drop it. Don't really need to pgs.

edit: sorry looks like I missed you by a few hours, I'll check this thread time to time tomorrow, maybe we'll catch each other or you can give me a time.

A good little frog named Prince is in boxes today on Fiorina. Fair warning: he’s adorable. He’s smaller than ever other character, his house looks like an outdoor campsite, and he Naruto runs everywhere he goes.



Come get this handsome boy today before he disappears into the Void.

My girlfriend got a Switch Lite recently and wants to move the island we have on my console to that (she is the primary resident so I’m fine with that). I’ve checked online and can’t seem to find a definitive answer, but if we move that island to a new Switch, am I able to move my player back to the original Switch and start a new island or would I be starting from scratch?

My new lion is all moved in. I'm not too keen on his house, it looks like an art gallery lobby or something. Might have to gift him some more comfortable furniture if he ends up staying around.

As far as I know, your island is locked to the console, so your girlfriend will have to start over, and so will you if you want to be a primary resident.

Based on https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/53668/~/how-to-transfer-animal-crossing%3A-new-horizons-save-data, I think that should work with the transfer tool? I've transferred my island so her moving to the Switch Lite should work without issues. But I didn't have any other residents on my island so I don't know if you'll get pulled along so that you can transfer yourself after.

The support article posted:

Use this feature if you wish to transfer just one resident to a new Nintendo Switch system. The resident, the resident’s home, and most items held by the resident and kept in storage will be transferred to an island on the new Nintendo Switch system. The island resident representative cannot be transferred.

This feature is helpful when just one player wants to continue playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a new Nintendo Switch or when multiple residents other than the island resident representative will be using the new Nintendo Switch. The transferred player(s) will move to a new island with new animals, so any island progress and animal neighbors will remain on the original Nintendo Switch system.

Not anymore, they added save data transfer in the latest patch. You can transfer the whole island or a non-primary player to a different Switch. So in their situation they ought to be able to transfer the island to her Switch Lite, then transfer his player back to the original Switch. The original save will have been deleted in the transfer, so he’ll start a new island from the beginning but retain stuff like his Critterpedia and DIYs.

Action Serious, as far as I can tell your plan ought to work just fine. I’m reluctant to speak authoritatively though because I can’t find any examples of that exact scenario either.

Going to give it a try later this afternoon, I’ll report back with results! Thanks.

Update: Everything worked out and only took a few minutes. Moved the entire island where she was the island rep to a new switch and then sent my player back to my original switch and started a new island (carrying over my house, pockets, miles, bells and all) as the island rep. As a bonus I have oranges instead of cherries finally.

I was so disappointed with the whale shark statue. I can't believe that I wasted so many potential bells for a 2x1 miniature when all of the other fish statues I commissioned until then had been the same size that the fish are when you show them off

It's the ultimate gift from a villager! Once you reach a certain threshold of friendship, they have a chance of giving it to you. Think of it as them saying that they love you!

IMO it's kind of disappointing that none of the big fish get giant statues, considering there's six different bugs which get gigantic statues because Flick loves them so much.

oh of course

Coco was created by her 'parents' after their natural rabbit child passed using her ashes. She's going from island to island trying to understand the world, since she doesn't quite understand how the world works. She's very inquisitive, but has trouble making friends because of her appearance, but the villagers slowly warm up to her.

The common interpretation is that Eugene is a cop, but I find that super boring. Instead, Eugene is a guy who plays at the hip-swinging cat lifestyle, but it's all skin deep. Deep down he's a dork who loves crime dramas

Cobb is one of the characters who I specifically went out of my way to get an amiibo card of. (Mostly because he's unpopular and therefore it only cost like $3) Even if I'm not super fond of the jock dialogue in this game, I gotta keep him around! I had him back in ye olde gamecube days alongside Lobo, and I made sure to get both of them as neighbors on my island here. They're buds for life.
