Although the feature will not be available for release, Nintendo is investigating a method to support progress with Nintendo Switch Online.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons will not have support for saving games in the launch cloud, as confirmed by Nintendo in 2019, to avoid possible traps and manipulations of progress; however, Nintendo Japan has now indicated that they are studying to implement a system to support the games saved in the future; Only if we are members of Nintendo Switch Online.
Conditions: lose or damage your Nintendo Switch
“This game is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch Online cloud save system, but we are currently investigating a custom method to support the specific saved games of this game in case your Nintendo Switch is damaged or lost,” he begins by saying the notice. “The use of this feature is limited to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The timing of its implementation is not yet decided; we will give more details as soon as it is finished, ”he ends.
In this way, Nintendo will allow us to support our game of Animal Crossing: New Horizons in these two circumstances. However, it is expected that they give a specific specific date for their application officially, since right now the only certainty is that next March 20, the game's release date on Nintendo Switch, it will not be compatible.
In fact, recent information about the weight of the game in digital format through the back cover of the title indicates that it will not be possible either to transfer the game between two consoles locally, as it does with all the games in the catalog of the machine (for example, if you have two Nintendo Switch and want to transfer your game in those titles without a save in the cloud, such as Splatoon 2 and Pokémon Sword / Shield).
With this method, in the absence of knowing how it will be possible to justify that our Nintendo Switch is damaged or lost, the long-awaited players have some hope of the double negative so far known.
What we do know are the definitive details of the operation of the multiplayer mode of this new Animal Crossing; from the local multiplayer with more than one player in a single console to the option where each player participates with their own Switch. Concrete details of the online multiplayer mode were also confirmed. Here we show you the Nintendo Switch special edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
