Do You Need WiFi to Play Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing?
You absolutely don't need WiFi for the core Animal Crossing experience. I've spent countless hours redecorating my island and fishing, all offline. But, the game updates and multiplayer aspects do require an internet connection. It's kinda the best of both worlds!

Nah, you don't need WiFi to enjoy the main features of Animal Crossing on your Nintendo Switch. Most of the game's content is accessible offline, like fishing, bug catching, and island designing. WiFi comes in handy for updates and visiting other players' islands, though.
Nope. WiFi not required for single-player. But, it's a must for multiplayer fun.
WiFi? For catching fish and paying off Tom Nook's endless mortgage? Nope, not really. But if you wanna show off your island paradise or snag some unique items from friends, then yeah, you'll need to connect.
