Thank you for making this absolutely essential guide! I am about to get an OLED in a few weeks and attempt a transfer. Older guides tell us we need to make a new Nintendo account on the target switch but this newer guide looks like that issue is resolved! Thank you for the clarification and the visual step by step because it’s really what I needed to see to erase any anxiety about the process. ❤️

Thankyou so much for making his video! you are the only one Ive found that talks slow and clear for me to understand. Also the steps were easy to follow along.

This is the best and most in depth tutorial i’ve seen on the transfer process. I lost all my data when i got the animal crossing switch because i didn’t know what i was doing. This video saved my boyfriend of the same fate as me! Thank you!

Thanks for such a comprehensive guide. I ended up getting the new Zelda OLED, so it's nice to have a really simple guide on transferring everything over!

[destinyalexis]

Thank you so much for going over each step step by step! This was very informative and helpful for setting up my new switch I got recently and for updating animal crossing to my other switch! Thank you!

Why doesnt this have more likes!? You saved my arse man, thank you so much!

[darionking]

Very well detailed, well timed walk through. One of the best I have viewed to date. Thank you.

Thank you for your video, it was very useful to save my wife's game. Her nintendo switch screen was broken yesterday and today I transfer her island to a new console. Thank you.

omg thank you so much!! i procrastinated this process so much to the point that i stopped playing the game for months lol. This was such great help!! It was easy and fast :)

[NickBair]

Thanks, super helpful. I had chose 'NO' when asked if I was going to use the old console thinking that it would transfer everything. Ended up having to log back in with my user and perform this transfer.

Just got my new switch today (Oled) after having my switch lite for 2 years! I have loved my switch lite but have wanted to upgrade for a while now as I wanted a bigger screen/better screen quality and also to play on a tv/monitor.
This video has been great to help me transfer everything over and also transfer my animal crossing island which I did not want to loose 😂 thank you so much! Great video!

[loganlovesdubstep]

Thank you so much I was so worried I’d lose all my progress your instructions were fantastic

[ashlight]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I have been worrying about what to do to transfer my animal crossing data and I was afraid of having to start over again.
Although I have yet to buy my OLED this will be helpful for when I get it. Again Thank you!!!

[teethmeats]

THANK Y SO MUCH… this was all so confusing and I was stressed. Got very far in an island on a borrowed switch and was so worried about transferring all the data to my switch lite.

This was The Best guide of the 4 that I watched before really getting the method.

Thx so much man-

Great explanation, step-by-step, and clear!

For others with a transfer situation similar to my own,
I had one other account that shared the island with me on my original switch, so after making sure "Island Back up" was enabled, I ported them both over.
I also updated the game on new Oled system prior, and installed all dlc beforehand too.

Worked like a charm 🎉

i watch so many other tutorials on this and they were so confusing about not using the same profile, but thank yoy

[meowspots]

Thank you for this video! I was kind of stressed about transferring my save data, especially my island, so this helped me so much. I have Animal Crossing downloaded virtually, so I wasn't sure if I'd need to buy it again, but the eshop showed that I had bought it, so I was able to download it to my new Switch no problem. I feel much more at ease now!

[linksmotherinlaw]

What a relief after watching this lol, thank you for making this easy to follow guide! There were other instruction videos that mentioned having to make a new Nintendo account for the target switch (and that confused me tbh haha). I also appreciate your step by step explanations <3

[ohmyJJOO]

Thank you so much for making this video since this is exactly the one I'm looking for. Cause I only have one user account on my Switch. Once again, thankyou!

[karissamarx]

Thank you! Your video helped me move my island from my switch lite to my full size switch. 😊
