Product Information

Use this feature if you wish to transfer just one resident to a new Nintendo Switch console. The resident, the resident’s home and the resident’s customisations will be transferred. The Resident Representative cannot be transferred. The handheld arrives with improved and longer battery life, which means extended gameplay for the whole family. Depending on what games you play and how many players join in, the device now manages between 4.5 and 9 hours of gameplay on a single charge. Previously, it was getting only about 2.5 to 6.5 hours.

The island, all progress and customisations, your animal neighbours, the island's Resident Representative and any other residents that have been created on the island will be transferred. Although underwhelming at launch, there is a gradually expanding range of Nintendo Switch games, filled with classic series such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Metroid Dread, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and FIFA Legacy Edition. What is really cool is that the console will happily run large, open-world console games such as Skyrim, for example, a game more typically seen on the larger, hefty consoles. UK Price Information

This feature is helpful when just one player wants to continue playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a new Nintendo Switch console or when multiple residents other than the Resident Representative will be using the new Nintendo Switch console.

The Nintendo Switch feels more like a console-handheld hybrid. Boasting a wide range of tech, one of the beauties is that the console is extremely portable and independent, capable of an average of 6 hours battery life for its initial version, and easily rechargeable with a USB cable – a huge step forward in gaming. It now even has a little sister, the handheld-only Switch Lite. How to buy the Nintendo Switch with improved battery life?
