The Island

The Island is an exclusive location that appears in Animal Crossing. The only way to get to the island is to have a Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance Cable, and a Game Boy Advance. Once you talk to Kapp'n who appears on the dock, he will take you to the island. On the island, you can find island-exclusive villagers. You will receive one villager at random upon first arriving on the island. The villager will never move away from the island, and no other villagers will ever arrive.

Season
While on the island, it will always be the summer. Even when it is winter in your regular town, it will still be summer on the island. You can go there to catch fish and bugs only available in the summer no matter which season it is back at your town.
