Can you start a new Animal Crossing game?
Sure thing! Starting a new game in Animal Crossing is part of the charm. Just boot up your Nintendo Switch, and if it's your first time, the game will guide you through creating a new island paradise. If you're looking to restart, though, you'll need to delete your current save data from the system settings because Animal Crossing saves are tied to your console's memory.

Absolutely, you can start fresh! But remember, if you're attached to your current island and villagers, think twice. Deleting your save data wipes everything clean, so it's a real goodbye to your current Animal Crossing life.
Starting over? Make sure you've really thought it out. It's a big commitment to wave goodbye to your current island.
