Even though this is an ACNH blog, I still want to share this here as ACPC means quite a lot to me because it was my very first AC game and I used to play it quite a lot back in the day.
So we all probably know now that ACPC ended its online support, and therefore, the game is no longer available to play. They will be releasing an offline version sometime soon, but I am not planning to play that version, as personally I don't want to spend 10$ (later it will be 20$) on a phone game I rarely play these days. But who knows, maybe I'm gonna change my mind in the future.
I started playing ACPC two days after its release in the region I am from, the EU. I played the game for months and then came back to it in 2019 again. After getting ACNH, I stopped playing it, and now I revisited the game for like a month before it ended. It's sad to see it go, even if not fully. I will still miss this version of the game.
I decided to record my last minute spend in this game, and it's shutdown. And I would like to share it here.
The game was free for 7 years. It feels just like yesterday when I started my camp. The time truly flies fast. Thank you free version of ACPC for getting me into the Animal Crossing franchise. You will be missed.
Nintendo recently announced that they will be ending the colab between ACNH and Pocket Camp pretty soon, and I see that a lot of people do not know how to redeem them or get back if they restart their island.
So, I decided to post a tutorial:
Here is how you can redeem those items in the first place (remember that this will be possible only until November 28th, 2024 - 3:00 PM UTC)
1) Download Pocket Camp on your mobile device
2) Play through the tutorial (cca 30 min of playing?)
3) Link your account: Menu > My Nintendo
4) Claim the "Special order ticket" - you will receive a code
5) Redeem the code on your Switch in the eShop
6) Done! Items should be in your game in the "Nook Shopping" under "Promotion"
Now, for people who have already redeemed these items before. You might be scared that you will lose them once you restart your island. But that is not the case! Not even after the colab ends because you redeemed these items on your Nintendo account and not into your game.
Here, I have a tutorial on how to get them back in case you want to restart your island. (If you already restarted your island, and you do not have these items, I am sorry, but I do not know if this method will work as you will have to skip the first step)
1) Before you start a new island, delete your game from the Switch and download it again (I cannot guarantee it will work if you do not do this step as I haven't tried it my self. Please share in the comments if it works or not.)
2) Play the game - Personally I would recommend waiting till you have upgraded the Plaza (just to check if u have the items already or not)
3) Save, turn off the game and go to the eShop and click on your little profile in the top right corner
4) Go to the "Redownload" section
5) Here you should see all your previously downloaded games that are not on your Switch right now - one of them should be something that looks exactly like the ACNH main game
6) Download it - it should take only few seconds to finish
7) Done! Your game was updated and redeemed items were redownloaded back to your new island
I hope that this will worl for all of you. If you have any questions, ask me in the comments as I do not answer to re-uploads. Of course if you have more info or a different method, feel free to share and add.
(This method was tested by me with a physical copy of the ACNH game and with redeemed Pocket Camp items from over 2 years ago)
Woah! Raymond is my first camp visitor?! No way! People would be so jealous of me back in the days when the game was new, haha! Ah, I miss those times.
And omg, I finally managed to catch a scorpion! They kept knocking me out all the time. I was staring to think I won't ever catch one.
My plaza finally got an update, and Isabelle came to my island! She's the best! ♡ After that, I went to my job for the first time! I love decorating those little houses so much :3
The next day, I got to build the campsite. Dream villagers come to my island, please!
Another day on the island. This time only for a short while as I haven't had time to play as much. Only managed to do some of the daily stuff and hold a ceremony for the museum and a first bridge.
Another day on the island. Mabel visited the newly open Nook's Cranny. I can't wait for her to get her own shop on my island as well! I love buying new clothes in this game.
Still waiting for Blathers to finish working on the museum... There's a big pile of stuff right in front of it now.
Another thing that happened was me choosing a place for the very first bridge and also 3 new house areas!
Second day on the island, and I have already done so much! I helped Gulliver fix his phone, donated enough bugs and fishes to Blathers so he can work on opening the museum, helped Timmy and Tommy with their shop, and even made my first trip to a Mistery Island!
Oh, and I almost forgot! My house! It is no longer a tent! ♡♡♡
So here it is. Finally started a new island in 2024. I played this game back in 2020, but then my Switch broke, and I haven't found a time to buy a new one until now. I missed this game so much.
I decided to make this blog so I can connect more with people who still play this game. So I hope you are not all dead by now, haha.
