Nintendo has announced a brand new feature that will soon launch for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and this one sounds perfect for any social media lovers.
The Island Tour Creator is a "limited-time web service" that is currently planned to be available until the end of this year. It will launch on 23rd March, and lets you share your island in new and interesting ways.
Essentially, you'll be able to grab screenshots and footage you've captured in-game to create your very own poster and video trailer, before sharing them with others online. Perhaps you have a favourite spot of your island that deserves some recognition? This sounds like the best opportunity so far to do just that.
Here are some particularly pretty examples of island posters...
Nintendo has also detailed plans for the game's next major update, which is launching slightly earlier on the 18th. The update marks the game's first anniversary and adds special new items, new Sanrio residents and more.
Think you'll be making the most out of this new web-based feature? We'll make sure to update you when the service goes live!

(island name): leave while you can.
What is it with Nintendo and limited time releases at the minute?
Stencils for screenshots is... not particular exciting.
But whatever, it's just some free website.
Only available until the end of the year. So evil and anti-consumer. They shouldn't have released it at all if it can't be available forever.
WHY IS IT LIMITEDDDD
I'll probably do this. Once I dig up a few thousand flowers.
It's a nice new feature By now, I do have a collection of some heartwarming moments of the past year on the island.
Nintendo is limited company and will end all games on march 31 2,450.
really cool stuff, but why is nintendo so limited release-crazed now. it bugs me how we've essentially seen them pull this move slowly throughout the year. its a poster maker why is that a limited thinggg
@Burning_Spear What about after forever?
@boxyguy I can see why it's a tiny bit annoying, but not many free websites have guaranteed unlimited availability.
@TryToBeHopeful thats true, i guess i just see another "limited release" attempt with nintendo again and just roll my eyes, its like theyre slowly adjusting us to get used to this
Didn't they want to improve their "Nintendo Switch Online" service?
Why not make it a part of the service after the free limited time website is gone? So there would be a little bit more value coming to the paid membership.
Looking forward to this.
Is barely available for 8 months, why even bother giving it to us at all... i know a website can't be available forever but at least let us enjoy it for a good couple of years!
@Burning_Spear Nothing lasts forever. Especially services that require some form of moderation. (Which this does)
Making something limited is absolutely normal. Especially if you disclose this up front before you even launch it. It's not "anti-consumer".
1. It's free.
2. It's not required for anything in the game.
3. You don't have to pay for it.
4. You don't have to use it.
5. They don't ask money for it.
