Totally, you can transfer your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island to another Switch! Nintendo rolled out an Island Transfer Tool specifically for this. Just download the tool from the Nintendo eShop on both consoles, and follow the steps. It's a life-saver for when you're upgrading your Switch or need to switch devices for any reason.

Yes, but keep in mind it's a one-way trip! You can transfer your whole island or just a resident to a new Switch. Make sure both devices have the game and are updated before you start.

Honestly, just cloud save it with Nintendo Switch Online, then download it on the new one. Easiest way to keep your island safe during transfers.

Nah, too much hassle. Better to start fresh on the new Switch and enjoy the thrill of building from scratch. Plus, you'll avoid any potential headaches with data transfer.
