What was wrong with the bug? Object cloning glitch

The users of the game who identified the bug —compatible with versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0— realized that it was possible to clone objects very easily. Broadly speaking, the methodology was as follows: first, start local multiplayer using the Nookophone (you need to have two Insulans, not just one).

Once we had two characters on the screen, it was enough to put a box on the floor and an object on it, if possible, of great value in stores, with the aim of getting as many berries as possible. An inhabitant stood at one end and began to turn the box (and, consequently, the object above it); on the other hand, at the other extreme, the other insulano pressed Y to pick up the object each time one of the turns was completed. So on. In this way, tens or hundreds could be obtained from an object.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons went on sale on March 20 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Like many other projects, the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) is affecting the development process. In the case of the Nintendo video game, the incidence of the virus could affect the development schedule, so the company has already warned that content updates may be delayed and may not go out on schedule.
