Can You Have 2 Animal Crossing Islands on One Switch?
Sadly, nope. You can only have one Animal Crossing island per Nintendo Switch console. The game ties one island save file to the console, not the user profile. So, even if you have multiple profiles on your Switch, you all share the same island getaway. Kinda like a tight-knit community vacation that never ends!

Hot take: Just get another Switch. If you really want a second island, that's the workaround. Plus, more Switches, more fun, right?
Actually, I tried everything to get around this for my kids. We ended up buying a second Switch so they could each have their own island. It's a bit of a pain, but on the bright side, we don't argue over who gets to decide where to put the museum anymore!
