    Not sure about anyone else but I love taking screenshots of this game, at first it was just so I could look back on my early days on the island or to get a picture of someone entering the airport or inside their house to get ideas from them. Now I'll take screenshots of anything from turnip prices to plotting out building dimensions. :)

    So I thought it might be fun if folks posted up some pictures of anything they have come across on their Animal Crossing journey? It can be anything at all, the game is gorgeous looking imo and has an incredible level of detail in it so even the most mundane looking screenshot can be interesting. :)

    Here are a few select ones I've taken along the way.

    First night on Castaway island:

    The one and only time I got a good turnip price on my island:

    Treasure Hunt evening that was so much fun:

    Bunny Week - thank god the eggs are gone now!

    Early Hibernia - before the rain:

    Hibernia now - umbrella a necessity:

    Love this! And that treasure hunt was a lot of fun! :D Think it's what inspired Princess Peach to start playing online, other than trying to get better turnip prices!
    And still delighted I managed to find that ticket, even if it was the longest of the hunts! :D

    Don't know if it's possible to embed the video directly, so shared via a tweet

    https://twitter.com/damoeldiablo/status/1260639940016082946?s=19

    Her only regret is that she didn't have the laughing reaction at the time...

    I was genuinely surprised and impressed you found that ticket!

    Hah that clip is cool. How did you record it? Not via the normal capture button?

    Yup, if you hold the button for a sec instead of just pressing it, it records the last 30 seconds or so of gameplay

    Ah ok cool. Was thinking of getting one of those elgato things to record some footage, thought maybe you were using one of those.

    This thread is brilliant! I didn't know it was here until now. How are you getting the photos off your switch to post them here?

    The procedure I use is long winded:

    - Take screenshot using the Capture button.
    - Go into Album and upload to somewhere (I upload to private Facebook message so only I can see it).
    - Download image on PC
    - Upload image to imgur.
    - Link BBCode in boards post.

    Maybe you can upload to Twitter and link that directly? Like Star Lord did above with the video.

    Yeah, I post them to Twitter, and for pics just hotlink the image to the Twitter image, for the video, just posted the link to the tweet to embed it.

    It's a MicroSD card so you'll need one of the adaptors if you've only got an SD card slot.

    And just make sure you don't accidentally format it! :eek:
