Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me to delete this off of my phone.
Nintendo’s mobile practices are shameful. Feels uncharacteristically dirty for Nintendo. It’s like mobile Nintendo and Switch Nintendo are two completely separate companies.
Keep this trash millions of miles away from my mainline Animal Crossing. Nothing that even resembles it. Nothing that can be carried over or transferred.
