Can This Week’s Major Infinity Nikki Update Shift Its Steam Review Ratings?](https://www.4thegamerz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rewrite-this-title-Can-This-Weeks-Major-Infinity-Nikki-Update-360x180.jpg)
Okay, so you’ve got your hands on the new Nintendo Switch 2. Congrats! I’m guessing your Animal Crossing island is calling out to be moved. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see it on the shiny new screen, right?
Once upon a time, the island transfer process was… well, a bit of a headache. You needed something called the Island Transfer Tool, and let’s just say, it was as complicated as trying to finish a jigsaw puzzle at midnight with one eye closed. But hey, progress is glorious. With the Nintendo Switch 2, they’ve—thankfully—made it a whole lot easier.
Here’s the lowdown. You can just do a complete system transfer from your older Nintendo Switch to the new one. It’s almost like magic, except real, and with fewer rabbits. Unlike before, you don’t need the Island Transfer Tool, so that’s one less thing to worry about on a Saturday afternoon.
“Oh! Just so it’s clear,” this Nintendo guy, Takuhiro Dohta (no, I didn’t make that name up), told Polygon something about system transfers. He said something like, “Everything on your Nintendo Switch stays put, but when you move your Animal Crossing island, it actually moves over”… or something like that. So, it basically hops from one console to another. Imagine that!
Hold your horses if you’re thinking of trading in your old console, though. You’ll still need your trusty old Nintendo Switch for this grand operation. Unless you’re all about that cloud backup life—then, by all means, cloud away.
Why does Nintendo get all paranoid about save data? Like, it seems they’re on a totally different level of overprotective. They seriously don’t want people cloning data. I mean, what’s the harm in capturing multiple Legendary Pokémon? But hey, they’ve got their reasons… I guess.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the Nintendo Switch 2 hits stores worldwide on June 5, 2025. Price tags? Brace yourself — £395.99 in the UK, €469.99 in Europe, and $449.99 in the land of the free, home of the brave.
That’s the scoop, messy as my morning hair.
