Are you a fan of the Animal Crossing series and looking for a way to enjoy multiplayer gaming on a single Nintendo Switch console? Well, you’re in luck! With a bit of creativity and a few simple steps, you can easily set up a multiplayer experience that will have you and your friends enjoying the sunny world of Animal Crossing together. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of playing multiplayer Animal Crossing on one Switch, so let’s dive in!
1. Choose the Right Console
Before you begin, make sure you have a Nintendo Switch that supports local multiplayer. The original Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED models all support local multiplayer, so you can use any of these consoles for your Animal Crossing multiplayer adventure.
2. Set Up Your Switch
To start, ensure that your Nintendo Switch is updated to the latest software version. This will ensure that you have access to the necessary features and updates for multiplayer gaming. Once your console is updated, follow these steps:
– Turn on your Nintendo Switch and navigate to the Home screen.
– Select “System Settings” from the menu.
– Go to “System” and then “Console Information.”
– Check that your console is running the latest software version. If not, update it by following the on-screen instructions.
3. Connect the Screens
To play multiplayer Animal Crossing on one Switch, you’ll need to connect two screens to your console. You can use two separate Nintendo Switch consoles, or you can use a single Switch with two screens connected to it. Here’s how to do it:
– If you’re using two separate Switch consoles, simply turn them on and pair them using the NFC sensors on the bottom of the console.
– If you’re using a single Switch with two screens, you’ll need to purchase a compatible screen or screens. One popular option is the Switch Lite, which can be used as a second screen when connected to your main Switch console.
4. Transfer Your Save Data
To ensure that you and your friends can play together, you’ll need to transfer your Animal Crossing save data to the second console. Here’s how to do it:
– On the main Switch console, go to “System Settings” and select “Data Management.”
– Choose “Save Data” and then “Animal Crossing.”
– Select the save file you want to transfer and choose “Copy to Console.”
5. Start the Game
Now that everything is set up, it’s time to start the game! Here’s how to play multiplayer Animal Crossing on one Switch:
– Turn on both the main Switch console and the second screen (or Switch Lite).
– On the main console, select “Animal Crossing” from the menu and start the game.
– On the second screen, select “Animal Crossing” from the menu and start the game.
– Once both players have started the game, you’ll be able to play together in the same world.
