@konbinilife. I do have fun sharing an island with my kids. But my biggest issue is the progress advancement being controlled by only the main player. I'd love to be able to build, expand and move the game along without having to wait for my teenager to get on every 2-3 days and play for 30 minutes to an hour; and then after a week be able to play for an hour or so before I can't do anything else and have to wait another week.
@EmirParkreiner Yes, it's one island per console. That can be shared by 8 uses in that console. There is no possibility of a creating a second (or 3rd etc.) for somebody else to play. Also, the person who initially creates the island is the "representative" (used to be called the Mayor in past ACs) who is "the boss" if you will and nobody else can progress the island except for that person. And there is no way to change who is the rep. So, if my son started the island, he os the boss. Doesn't matter if he plays for an hour and gets bored, my daughter then plays 20 hours gets stuck not being able to progress any further. And now he doesn't want to play anymore so the only option is to completely delete the island and all of her work and start over... Only to be repeated the other way around at some point in time. And no, you can't save on different memory cards or use different game cartridges. It's one per console. Also, Nintendo says they will allow a one time only (per account) save transfer to a different Switch in the future. Once.
