Hi all! I've been playing New Horizons since this summer with the cartridge, but now I'm thinking it might be better to switch to the digital version so I can easily check in with the game while playing other games at the same time.
However, I'm not sure how this works and I dread losing my island or any save data. I've noticed that Animal Crossing has about 6 GB of data on my SD card, which I assume is all of the update data since I started the game. Can I safely delete all of this data before downloading the digital version, or will this affect my island?
I've heard that downloading the digital version will download the latest, fully-updated version of the game, so I'm thinking that the digital download will not use this extra data on my SD card anyway, and I'd rather not leave it there taking up space.
Anyway, I'm just wondering about the process for moving from cartridge to digital without affecting or losing my current island. Any advice on this situation would be very appreciated!
Thank you!
