Nintendo i wish you did something on the Animal Crossing save locks!! Physical or digital, we should be able to play our main island on our backup systems easily. The separate transfer app should only be required if you're trying to move the game over to a family member's console. It shouldn't be this hard to play a game we bought even if we have the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Also, I love this game and always have, but it’s boring now. It would be more fun if you could make quicker and larger amounts of bells so that you have more bells to buy stuff. They think they’re being good to us by slowing it down.. like the slower you make bells, the slower you collect.. and it’s like you won’t beat the game but it’s harder and boring. I don’t feel like nearly wasting my turnips, and I don’t feel like scuba diving 3 times around my whole island to get like 100,000.. like I’m hurting my buttons doing that. Is that why they like it slow? So my buttons ruin? So that I buy another switch? Lol Animal Crossing is beautiful but BORING and Story of Seasons is better, and Stardew Valley is even better than that! ‎🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 יֵשׁוּעַ 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱The Holy Spirit plays it with me and he has testified that this game is indeed boring. Get over it again 😁 OH and I am STILL waiting to be able to use my Animal Crossing character like a Sim. ADD it to the game PLEASE. It’s really not that much investment, just take your time with it, it’ll be the best game ever and so popular AGAIN like plushies in the Target and little figure toys, blind bag toys, everything money you can think of. (I’m giving you a revelation of what to do with your game, Nintendo) it’s not that much investment if you try hard, just make it work.

Choose a different voice please, she sounds like she could be mean. Like she asks me a smart question… ew … It MATTERS, the sound of the voice… actually.. use a MAN’S voice. If you don’t like it, you can get over it. ‎יֵשׁוּעַ
