THIS IS GAME OF THE YEAR THANK YOU NINTENDO
God, what a phenomenal game. The graphics are gorgeous, the characters are lovely, the scenery is charming and all around, it’s a perfect game. It calms you down, lets you take a breather from the hellish world that is where we are currently, and envelops you in a beautiful, serene paradise where you have nothing to do and nowhere to go, except for making a few friends and maybe making some money along the way. Please purchase this game, it’s so, so worth it.

To me it’s a glorified single player
While I enjoy animal crossing and will enjoy this game I am very disappointed in the multiplayer. As a lady that enjoys playing video games with my husband I honestly expected to be able to play full multiplayer in this game. This game does not allow full 2 player capabilities as the 2nd play is very neutered in what they can do. There is far too much controller shaking involved in trying to be able to do anything in order to give the other person a chance at playing with all items and access to the bag and shop. We both wanted to have a full two player co-op experience and you just don’t get that with this game at all. It’s the biggest let down game moment for us since Splatoon 2 was online co-op or multi-switch co-op only. While I’ll still play my game and enjoy it I would absolutely love the game if it had a full multiplayer setup. I just feel such disappointment.This game could’ve been perfect but it missed it’s chance.

Endless Fun for kids and adults alike…
I’m not sure who was more excited for this release: me or my 9 year old!The gameplay here is pretty straight forward. You’re on an island, and it’s your job to build and populate it how you see fit. The level of detail and the amount of things that you can do is pretty staggering. And it’s all done with a level or adorable that is infectious, which given the times we find ourselves, is a much needed distraction.All of the content is rated E for Everyone, and you won’t find anything offensive or objectionable in the game.The controls are mostly very easy to use and quick to learn, even for kids.The short version is that you combine resource gathering and management, with crafting new items, building homes, and customizing every detail of your community. From building waterfalls, to going fishing, and decorating the interior of your house. There’s a lot of detail in all of these things, and you’re free to create at will.One of our favorite details is the day/night cycle which in sync’d the to Switch’s internal clock. So it’s morning in-game, when it’s morning in your timezone. It’s dark when it’s dark outside for you… you get the idea. It’s just a nice touch in-game.You can also play online with friends, allowing others to enter your town and send them messages in-game. Likewise you can visit a friend’s island remotely, or in-person through local multiplayer.Highly recommended!

Beware!! Only one island per Console. No sharing.
Beware before you buy the game and have multiple people in your family who want to play, they can’t! I played it all day, super excited and loved it, and then when I couldn’t do anything else today, my husband was going to create his island and play too. Well we didn’t realize that there is only one island per CONSOLE so multiple users have to share the island and all it’s recourses. So my husband had nothing to do and couldn’t really play since I already Did everything. It was a real bummer and hope they update it soon.

Household can’t share game / need more than one switch
Family can’t share game. Second player has to use same island. Misses out on all the events first player already did. Terrible if multiple kids want to play. You can’t expect someone to buy a switch for ea kid.

Only ONE island per console!
You can’t create a different island per user/account.Once you have created an island on your console, all users have to share it.Good luck if you have two or more kids…Nintendo got away with forcing us to buy one game per user for years and years with Pokemon and Animal Crossing, and now they want us to buy one CONSOLE per user. They had the “excuse” of lack of memory space with cartridges, but with the Switch, there is literally NO GOOD REASON to do that but CORPORATE GREED.That kind of practice shouldn’t be allowed.Seriously, shame on you Nintendo!

Permanently 1 player PER CONSOLE.
LOCKED to 1 player per console! If someone else played first you can NEVER have your own island. Nintendo sucks. Disappointed kids here. I will not be purchasing Nintendo products anymore.

Nintendo just wants your money
I have 4 children that will be playing this game and the amount of arguing that has went on today is ridiculous. My 16 year old girl has to share a world with her 9 year old brother. Now all the kids want their own switch lites. Nintendo I will not buy all my kids switch lites and then 4 animal crossing games so they can have their worlds. I hope an update is coming to fix this madness. I had to make myself mayor then divide the map into 4 sections so each player would have their own area. Then I have to threaten my 6 and 9 year olds life if they touch anyone else’s stuff.

Best for households with multiple switches
You can only make 1 island per game/per switch. If you have multiple children, only one can be the leader at a time. Whoever named the island can never leave it, so it’s essentially “theirs”. There is no split screen and all other players must follow the leader and only the leader can enter buildings. Of course, my children aren’t happy about this and they were so excited about this game. If you only have one switch and one copy of this game but more than 1 child, it’s kind of lame. Definitely experiencing buyer’s remorse.
