Yep, Animal Crossing does support local multiplayer! You can chill with up to 8 friends on the same island if you're playing on the same network. It's a blast to hang out, fish, catch bugs, and just vibe together. Each player needs their own controller though, so make sure you've got enough Joy-Cons to go around!

Actually, local multiplayer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is kinda limited. You can play together but one of you is the 'leader' and the others are 'followers', which means the camera follows the leader and the followers can't interact with items or tools unless they're the leader. It's fun but not as free as you might hope.

Local multiplayer? Absolutely! Nothing beats the fun of gathering on the sofa with your pals, each with a controller, diving into your virtual island paradise together. Just remember, sharing is caring, especially when it comes to island space and resources!

Honestly, local multiplayer in ACNH is a letdown. Can't do much unless you're the leader. Wish it was better.
