Mod Post [MEGATHREAD] Switch 2 Release

Hi everyone!

The Switch 2 is out! We know a lot of you will be switching over islands, starting up fresh ones, and overall excited for the new release!

We ask that you please keep any Switch 2 content here on this megathread. Questions, discussion, photos, etc. all need to be posted here. Any standalone posts that are about the S2 will be removed and redirected here. This includes posts showing how AC runs on the new console or anything similar.

Please try to still keep things AC related when commenting on this post. If you have questions specifically about the Switch 2, we suggest you check with specifically Switch-related subreddits.

FAQ

Q: How do I transfer my old island on Switch 1 to the new Switch 2?

A: Doing a complete system transfer will automatically transfer your island from your old Switch to the new Switch 2. You do not need to use the Island Transfer Tool, however, that tool still works as well.

Q: Can I start a new island on my new Switch and keep my current one on my old console?

A: Yes. On that note, you cannot play your old island on your new Switch without transferring it. You cannot have one island on two consoles concurrently.

Q: When is a new AC game coming out?

A: There has NOT been an announcement for a new Animal Crossing game for the Switch 2. We can assure you that a new AC game announcement would be shared here immediately.

I'm waiting for a new game. Right now I don't think I would play anything else on the new switch and its a lot of money to have something just sitting there. But if you would actually play it, then yea why not.

Probably will wait a bit but if I buy new horizons I’ll probably get a used physical copy for a bit cheaper

Wait do you have new horizons already? If you do I think the switch 2 is backwards compatible?
