Crossing the Animals: New Horizons it is about working together and creating a sense of community, bif you are not a player account for the game, it is very difficult to participate.
New Horizons it allows you to create one island per shift, and up to eight players can stay on it together. But only one of these players can be what Nintendo calls “first resident, ”Which means the player who created and named the island originally. That is a player who is able to advance the game's affairs, choose where other citizens live, and order new property upgrades. While other players can make their characters and find their own homes to live in, they are limited to making fun decisions and sticking around waiting for the main character to blaze a path forward.
"In New Horizons, the second island is now a glorified visitor," wrote one player inside the ResetEra thread about the topic yesterday. They can make money and buy things in stores but not move on to new island projects such as donations to build additional housing for new citizens. It's a great life compared to the main player, and if you play at different times, it can feel like you've missed the big story happening on the island.
We are known for New HorizonsSingle island restrictions from information ripened last month. Nintendo confirmed later that anyone who wants to play on a different island will have to start a game on a completely different Switch. At the time it was unclear how much of a challenge it would be, but now that many people realize how difficult it is to play with significant others, roommates, or children in the same save file, they understand what you're unhappy about.

Already there are a lot of complaints about the issue going on game dropdown as well as Nintendo support page. And it has led to fans fighting in games Metacritic page. While hundreds of users' zero-points reviews slowed the game down by not providing any more accounts in the file for saving more freedom, hundreds more were sent to praise the game for save points. Of course, even when good user reviews acknowledge the limits it can be a great buzz kill. "First of all I want to admit that yes, the options of many multiplayer are right," wrote one person, before continuing to congratulate the rest of the game.
Everything is a distant word from the actual days Animal Crossing on GameCube, where players can share a city or make their own on a basic memory card and visit each other. Problems with many local New Horizons players are not entirely new. Animal Crossing: New Leaf on the 3DS had the same problems where there was only one city per copy of the game and only one player could be its mayor. It came out again eight years ago.
Nintendo has said it is working to bring cloud-saving to it New Horizons. Maybe eventually it will allow everyone who shares the game on one switch to become real citizens.
