Do you need a Nintendo membership to play Animal Crossing?
Absolutely not for single-player activities! Been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons solo and it's a blast without any membership. But if you're looking to trade items or visit other islands online, that's when the Nintendo Switch Online membership comes in handy.

Nah, you don't need a Nintendo membership to enjoy the basic joys of Animal Crossing. You can still chill with your animal buddies, fish, catch bugs, and more without it. However, if you wanna visit your friends' islands or invite them to yours online, then yeah, you'll need that Nintendo Switch Online membership.
