@pblive I love Nintendo - I always have, I always will.
But when they do something awful (anti-consumer policies in this case), or they get something wrong (50hz releases on the Virtual console in Europe), Nintendo can only fix their mistakes by understanding they made them.
Defending Nintendo everytime makes Nintendo weak, not stronger.
@pblive @pblive Except, no that isn't how Animal Crossing has functioned in the past. Animal Crossing Gamecube, Wild World and City Folk all had 4 separate saves and 4 houses*, with all players having equal access to the game.
New Leaf only had mayor functions for the first player, but while unfortunate that didn't break the game for other players. Also that was a portable only game for a reasonably cheap handheld, it was feasible to have 2 or more 3DS systems - Switch is an expensive hybrid console.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons locks almost the entire game out for every player except the first one, even locking out seperate profile saves - Nintendo lock out the entire Switch to everyone except the first player.
When is this going to be fixed with a patch?
EDIT: Wild World was 1 house only - but all players had full access to the game.
Review bombing is petty, but Nintendo could very easily fix this.
> Locking saves permanently to one Switch forever is ... when the Switch Pro comes out? You will never be able to move your save. Ever.
> Restricting New Horizons to one island, one player per Switch rips out entire experiences that otherwise could have been had with New Horizons and makes the game much less fun. This game is completely useless for families too. Does Nintendo even understand what the Switch is, as a platform? They don't seem to.
Both of these are offensive levels of anti-consumer behavior. Nintendo both misunderstand Animal Crossing and the Switch itself.

Nintendo needs to fix these issues ASAP.
