How to Play Multiplayer in Animal Crossing New Horizons - All Modes (local, 1 switch, co op, online)

[@Ryanzusa]

Why don't nintendo make the local co-op 4 player split screen instead if just 2 players having to share the same screen?

[@The8asement]

Good question... Hardware limitation? Probably not. My guess is to encourage more people to buy the game for the full on multiplayer experience as well as the online membership.

[@evancosman5039]

It's an annoying marketing tactic that encourage players to buy a switch of and buy the game. I find it really dumb that you can only have 1 island per switch

[@poop-vc3nq]

It honestly just ruins the experience for people that can’t buy another switch or don’t want to

[@Durhn]

Tropical storm Ryan it would be way more convienient

[@poop-vc3nq]

Absolutely Dreadful it is kinda fun but it limits what the follower can do. Imagine playing acnh without your inventory, no free rein, items maybe being taken away, no taking and more

[@adaptable1553]

Mum on the rarest occasion ever: "Go on then, I'll play too." Me trying to frantically set it up so she can too: "Hold ON! Just hold on!" Nintendo: "Just gotta go through an entire tutorial setup and introduction before you can play..." Mum: *Becomes bored* "Nevermind..." Thanks Ac, my one chance and your forced introduction ruined it.

[@wintacoat]

The Basement no you arent-

[@sarcastic4982]

here's a suggestion for families or people who are sharing the game before you start it; have the leader be a shared character that everyone can use instead of someone's specific persona, that way whenever somebody wishes to make a change they can access that character whenever and it's not damaging anyone's personal stuff. I did this with my siblings, now we all have our separate personal villagers we can play as and the shared villager for when we want tasks or things done

[@The8asement]

Great advice!

I found myself at the point where I was giving Nintendo one finger up and it was the middle one. Fortunately, I found this video. I wish I could give this video a million thumbs up. Any KZbin video that restores your sanity deserves a million thumbs up.

[@mangotango4529]

So I figured out how to get the app on your phone. You have to play animal crossing at least once on the other account that you want to play with you. And apparently you can only have 1 game/file per Nintendo switch!

[@The8asement]

yes you are 100% right!

[@aheony]

oh thank you! i was so confused! you’re a lifesaver!

[@Ooran]

Easiest option is to just create another profile on the same switch, it automatically takes you to your main profiles island.

[@dinimama1643]

Ellawolf6623 I also downloaded on my switch you can just make an account on your switch and play on that account it will bring you tö the main island

[@colonfree]

Animal Crossing is life what do you mean? i made an account but it says the other account doesn’t have the game

[@Bang]

Does the couch co op work with a switch lite?

[@The8asement]

That's a good question - it should as long as you have another controller you can sync up.

[@jennyalpaca7544]

Yes but get joy con controllers! I only had this peach pro controller and it just allowed me to use the controller and the lite as a screen

[@uncomfortablyclose8481]

Ok so here’s what’s happening to me when I try to do couch co-op I buy a digital copy of the game off the eshop for my account. Then when I try to play said copy using another account on the same switch it says i have to buy the game again SOLVED: After like hours of browsing i figured out the problem is that the console I was using wasn’t registered as my primary console. Once I registered it everything went perfectly.

Hi ! I’m the second resident of my island, my sister being the first one, on the same switch. But I don’t get any tasks from Tom Nook as I’m not the island leader. Can I change that ? Thank you !

[@bbebi6377]

You cant, basically being player 2 is so limited

[@ChristianM395]

No nintendo made a bad call and made it to wear the second player cant do anything to progress you cant change it if you want to play you need to buy a new switch or switch lite and the game again

[@microwave9551]

So, not sure if you go over this in the video, but second player/file limitations are also a thing. The first profile that opened the game is made a representative while any other people are not. What this amounts to is that any other file after the first person to make the island tries to progress the game on their own file it will not work. Only the first player is allowed to complete quests, build shops, set up locations for villagers, invite villagers, or anything like that. All other player’s on the same console will be trapped behind the first player’s progress. It has not been confirmed whether this is a oversight or intentional, but it’s something to remember.

[@The8asement]

Whoa - yeah I just started noticing that a little today when my kids couldn't help to build new villager houses.

[@anelajokovic]

Hi! I have one question about the game Me and my sister have one switch console and would both love to play the game. If I create my villager who is the leader of the island, can she create her villager and her island on a different log? Or do we need two switch consoles for that? If we need two consoles for that, is it possible to create her as another villager on my island? Can she customize that villager so that we can play on one island through the multiplayer options?

[@The8asement]

Each switch gets 1 island. Each profile on the switch can create 1 villager for that island - so you don't need to buy the game twice! If you want to have 2 different islands then you do need 2 switches.

How can you play with your local friends? Do they also have to start a new game on the same switch? I’m asking because my friend and me only have one switch and we want to play local on one switch with two controllers....

[@jedijazzygamer5369]

Yes, I believe your friend also has to have the game and start it up. You could both play on the same switch (different profiles) though.

[@The8asement]

Your friend needs to start a new switch profile, (or use someone's profile on your switch... I made a guest profile just for the purposes of this) Then they need to start up the game and play through to the point where they see the animation say "I can do anything I want". Then from there you should be able to get 2 players with one switch going.

2 Joy-Con each.

[@johnwp2840]

anna ou in 2 player mode you can use 1 joy con, just make sure you have entered multiplayer player mode otherwise it will force you to use 2

I have the digital version of the game and I can’t set up another account for my brother to play with me, do I need to link a nintendo account or buy the game digitally on the alternate account?

[@faioon]

RTG no you don’t need to buy the game digitally on the alternate account, but you do need to set up a Nintendo account for your brother to play.

[@The8asement]

Super Anonymous is right - although my wife doesn't have a Nintendo account and her profile still works as long as she doesn't try to do the online stuff.

[@reilly5005]

He has a nintendo account, and it’s still not working

[@The8asement]

Check out the pinned comment - we made an in depth video to answer these kind of questions!

[@gamergirl101010]

So can I couch co op with someone e in the same household? Like if we share a switch with different accounts and we can work on the island together?

[@The8asement]

Yup, that's the idea. Ted and Micah share one Switch and one copy of the game. You can even split a pair of joy cons and each use one!

[@mylittlefurry8076]

Yeah but the second player can’t even do much except run around like a dodo

[@gamergirl101010]

@@mylittlefurry8076 I realized that after and regret it now I have a random tent on my island I have no intention of upgrading lol

[@developer_wesley]

How are you recording at 9:00???

[@The8asement]

this video isn't even that long

[@riccardojo4627]

Can i have 2 profiles on the game from the same console? (Like in animal crossin new leaf)

[@dekylle]

Riccar Dojo yes

[@riccardojo4627]

Fantastic, thank you very much!

[@The8asement]

Thanks for answering their question!

[@RFOnePieceProduction]

Tried playing with sister on my switch lite. We had “2 sets of joycons, not including the switch lite, itself.” (I tried by connecting all 4 remotes but it didn’t work) I get the error “It seems there aren’t any other island residents to play with right now.” Everything connected wirelessly.

[@robertganonsburg2352]

I might be wrong, but what from what I know you both need an animal crossing character.

[@vickyxc]

Does anyone know if I can I do the couch co-op if I connect my Nintendo switch lite to joycons? Pls lmk 🥺🥺 ty
