Does Animal Crossing: New Horizons save on the cartridge?
Nope, Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn't save your game on the cartridge. Your game saves directly to your Nintendo Switch system memory. So, even if you play using a physical cartridge, all your island progress stays on the console, not on the game cart itself. Handy if you switch game carts but don't wanna lose your progress!

Nah, saves go straight to your Switch, not the cartridge. Means you can't just hand your cartridge to a friend for them to play your island, unfortunately. Each Switch console has its own unique save data.
ACNH saves are on the Switch, not the cartridge. But hey, this way, your digital island paradise is always there waiting for you, as long as you've got your Switch!
