Nintendo launched a tool with which it will be much easier for you to show what your Animal Crossing New Horizons island is like to your friends, acquaintances or other players who may be interested. This new utility is called Island Promotion Tool, but it sounds better in English: Island Tour Creator .
What is Island Tour Creator
So far, all you have seen of Animal Crossing New Horizons are captures that the users themselves have made through the tools integrated into the Nintendo Switch. What’s more, if you’ve done it, you know exactly what they are and how they work.
They are options that are present in the console by default and with which not only in this game but in all of them they are used for the same purpose of sharing screenshots, etc. But now the company offers a new tool that has been designed solely and exclusively for use with Animal Crossing New Horizons.
And the truth is that it is very striking and interesting, because not only can you share your creations on the island through captures or video clips, you can also give it a thematic touch that you will surely like because it looks with that same style so characteristic of the game . What’s more, it will even allow you to listen to songs from the game.
[Announcement] The #AnimalCrossing : New Horizons Island Tour Creator website is now available! Show off your island by creating fun posters and videos with content captured on your #NintendoSwitch . Here’s just one example, featuring Ninten Island! https://t.co/mYxkogv0xu pic.twitter.com/ehxaS7UmQJ

In this tweet published on the Animal Crossing official profile on Twitter you can see the announcement and also a small video ( Spanish version here ) where you show and quickly explain what the new tool consists of. But if you want to be a little clearer about how it works and what it allows, keep reading.
This is how the Animal Crossing island promotion tool works
The new Animal Crossing island promotion tool will not only allow you to share a video with details of your island , but also create a poster to which you can apply different styles until you find the one that best suits your preferences or tastes.
But how this poster creation and summary video works, we will watch step by step. Although first it should be noted that to do so you will need a mobile device and access this web address. Once you have done it, if it is through the computer you will have to scan the QR code that you will see.
Once you have it, you can start your creation, but first you have to send the content of these captures and video clips from your Switch to your phone. This is done as follows:
- Access the HOme menu
- Now go to Album and then Screenshots
- Select the capture or video you want to use and share it with your smartphone. If there are several items you want to share, you should know that the maximum for each transfer is ten
- It will look like a QR code that you will have to scan with the camera app of your iOS or Android phone
- Once you see the material ready you just have to go back to the web of this link
In a matter of a few seconds you will have material to promote your work within your island in a way that is much more in line with the game itself.
