    Hang on. So you can only have one island per console on this? I was considering getting this for me and the lad but that doesn't sound ideal. I'd want my own island.

    No problem. Get another switch

    I honestly can’t believe that people see taking a cart in and out as a chore. My Switch lives in a case and the case holds around 10 games. It’s absolutely no effort at all to take a game from the case and swap it out with the one in the console.

    My switch lives in its dock, the case with the games in is in a drawer. It’s a faff pulling through dock out from under the tv unit thing, getting the case out of a drawer etc. It’s not a hard job, but it’s a barrier. If I had all my games on cart then it wouldn’t bother me, but I’m much more likely to play something that’s instant access.

    Is it permanently on charge? Do other people do that? I saw a thread the other day how other folk don’t turn theirs off - I always power mine down.
  • Yeah. It just lives in the dock. I probably play 70-30 tv vs handheld though so that works well for me.

    Playing in the same town was one of the best things when my brother and I played the GC version. It was when I just moved out, so I would have the memory card for a week, my brother would get it the next week. Catching up with him with the latest town news each weekend was something I'd look forward to. Showing him that I bought furniture I knew he was looking for, sharing news about new neighbours, telling him I managed to get another new fish for the museum, asking him not to ruin my flower patch. It really felt like you were sharing that little town with someone, and you were both taking care of it.


    Looking forward to this one, but I feel like it might have strayed a bit too far away from the earlier ones. I never felt I needed the ability to shape the landscape, not being able to have a short cut to the beach was definitely annoying, but bumping into your favourite neighbour on the way there, or suddenly spotting an insect you still needed was one of it's charms for me. You had to deal with what was given to you, no need to play God, apart from the flower breeding.

    Polka Dot House, let's do this (again)!
  • It reminds me of how you edit the terrains in sim city. It’s a welcome thing for me. Mainly the idea of landscaping my castle.

    Nook you bastard. I’ve bought four homes from you in the past. Time for a little discount no?

  • Ok so I’ve had this on order for yonks, but I forgot that on 3DS I had it digital (when they gave it me for free for owning other games, remember Nintendo used to do that?!) and so I would play it for 20 minutes in the morning before playing my main game, just getting fossils or checking the shops etc.

    Think I’m gonna cancel the cart and go digital. You can re-download games on switch now can’t you? I know the save thing is messed up but if I lose the switch I won’t lose the actual game forever right?

    Looks like they're rethinking the save thing. According to this tweet they re-upload ed the Direct and where it used to say you can only recover once, there will now be more information in the future about it.

    Apparently it's so you can't game the economy yourself on your own game. This way you still need to use outside islands to trade with.

    Shame as I don't think I'll get it at all now.
  • Just get a gamecube version and two memory cards. Each is a different town.

    Not a silly suggestion either; the core game is the same and you get Tortimer.

  • Or get two 3DS with the game.

    But anyway. Spoke to my daughter about this in depth today. I’ve over hyped it but she’s already interested

    The point is to trade stuff for it.
  • Getting it off amazon is trading a small part of your soul.
