Set the system date to December 24th of any year in the future and the time to after 8:00 p.m. Walk around and find Jingle, a reindeer in a Santa suit. Talk to him, and he will ask you two questions. No matter how you answer, you will get a piece of the Jingle set. If you sell any piece to Tom Nook, he will pay over 12,000 Bells. Repeat this as many times as desired.
One of the rocks in your town will randomly give Bells when it is hit repeatedly. Note: To hit a money rock quickly, dig holes on either side of it and another hole behind you in order to trap your character in position. By doing this, you cannot recoil away after hitting the rock, allowing you to repeatedly smash it quickly.
After getting the Golden Shovel, use it to bury money. It will grow into a tree. Shake that tree, and moneybags will fall from it instead of fruit.
Go fishing in late July or early August at about 7 p.m. to catch the more expensive fish. You can catch a Hammerhead (8,000 Bells), Napoleanfish (10,000 Bells), Red Snapper (3,000 Bells), or Shark (15,000 Bells).
When fishing in winter, catch and sell the following fish: Red Snapper (3,000 bells), String Fish (15,000 bells), and Tuna (7,000 bells).
If you find an Elegant Mushroom, it can be sold to Tom Nook for 10,000 Bells.
On Bunny Day, dig up all the bunny eggs with a shovel. Open the bunny eggs. If they are candy, eat them. If they are bunny foil, keep them. Then, go to the bunny man in front of the main hall. After you get the prizes, sell them to Tom Nook, and save the game. Play a different day, save the game, then start Bunny Day all over again.
Easy fruitUse the following trick to get lots of fruit. Send your town's native fruit in a letter to a resident, and include the word 'Fruit' in the message area. Eventually they will reply with fruit (either the same or different) or furniture.
Easy Golden SlingshotThe present balloons that need to be shot down to get the Golden Slingshot will appear when the last number of the time is '5' and the hour is either 10 a.m. or 3 p.m., giving you twelve chances per day. To find the balloons easily, go to the north side of your town. Do not stay there all the time, just run up there when you see a balloon. Your running movement can be used to control the balloon. After you shoot down eight balloons, one of the next balloons you shoot will have the Golden Slingshot. This version can fire three pellets.
Buying multiple number of same itemGo to Tom Nook's store, and buy everything desired. Then, go upstairs in your house, lie in the bed, and select 'Save and Quit'. At the very beginning screen, press A, then instead of starting, go to 'Others' at the bottom of the menu, and press A. At the next screen, select 'Date and Time' at the top of the menu screen, and press A. Set the day to one day before the current date, then go back to the first screen, and start the game. Go to Tom Nook's store to find all the same items that were there before. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: If you did not save the game before you did this, the mole will appear when you start, and this will not work. -From: Cory Solo

Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows you and up to 7 others on your Nintendo Switch system to live on one shared island. The save data for the island or for the individual residents of the island can be transferred to a new Nintendo Switch system after updating the game software to the latest version. The island save data can also be backed up in case you lose access to your Nintendo Switch system and can be restored on a replacement system.
Animal Crossing Wii U Games
Complete these steps
There are three ways to transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data to a new Nintendo Switch system. Please read about each option to determine which feature you would like to use:
Entire Island TransferUse this feature if you wish to transfer the entire island and all residents to a new Nintendo Switch system. The island, all progress and customizations, your animal neighbors, the island resident representative, and any other residents that have been created on the island will be transferred.
This feature is helpful if you are replacing your Nintendo Switch system with a new one and all players who have played Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be using the new Nintendo Switch system. It is also the only way to transfer your island resident representative when you have not backed up your island.
You must have access to both the original system and the new system to use this feature.
Resident Move (Single Player Transfer)Use this feature if you wish to transfer just one resident to a new Nintendo Switch system. The resident, the resident's home, and most items held by the resident and kept in storage will be transferred to an island on the new Nintendo Switch system. The island resident representative cannot be transferred.
This feature is helpful when just one player wants to continue playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a new Nintendo Switch or when multiple residents other than the island resident representative will be using the new Nintendo Switch. The transferred player(s) will move to a new island with new animals, so any island progress and animal neighbors will remain on the original Nintendo Switch system.
You must have access to both the original system and the new system to use this feature.
Island Backup and RestoreNintendo Wii U Animal Crossing
Use the island backup feature to ensure your island save data can be recovered in a situation where you lose access to your Nintendo Switch system. If you have enabled island backup, you will be able to restore the last saved version of your island and all residents on a replacement Nintendo Switch system.
You must have already enabled island backup on the original system to use this feature, but you can restore the island save data using only the new system.
