Nintendo created a tool to help you show off your Animal Crossing island

Nintendo has a new tool that allows you to display your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island with a sign or even a trailer. While you’ve always been able to take screenshots and video clips of the game using Switch’s built-in tools and share them with your friends and on social media, the new Island Tour Creator lets you add a few Animal crossingthemed style of what you’ve captured.

Nintendo made an example video of a tour of the island in this tweet. Includes a voiceover and even New Horizons‘iconic theme, and the trailers you make will have that too, which I thought was a nice touch.

And here is a poster I made for my island, Hoopla:

To use Island Tour Creator, which only works on mobile devices, visit this link on your smartphone. From there, you will be prompted to log into your Nintendo Account, and after a short chat with Tom Nook, you will be able to choose between making a poster or a trailer.

You can use in-game media that you’ve saved to your phone or posted to Twitter, and both the poster-making and preview tools have plenty of customization options. I really wish you could use Island Tour Creator in-game in some way though, as getting screenshots and videos from my Switch to my iPhone is a bit tricky. But once I had everything I wanted stored on my phone, using the tool was straightforward.

Now that the people have got their hands on New Horizons For more than a year, I have been looking forward to seeing the virtual tours and posters that people create to showcase their islands.
