Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Announcement is Nintendo Japan's Most Liked Tweet
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream continues the series' tradition of life-simulation gameplay centered around Nintendo's Mii avatars on a vibrant island. The franchise began with Tomodachi Collection on the Nintendo DS in 2009, which sold over 100,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, released on the 3DS in 2013, became a massive hit with over 6.7 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform. This success led to its Western release as Tomodachi Life in 2014.
According to Nintendo, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream allows players to "Create your own Mii characters based on yourself, friends, family – anyone! – and watch them live their lives on an island out at sea. Get involved with their relationships and experience all the weird and wonderful ways these Mii characters interact. You may even drop in on their dreams!"
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Adds Ears To Mii Characters
The reveal trailer for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has sparked intense interest and analysis among fans, highlighting several exciting features such as Mii character creation, familiar island settings, and unique Mii interactions. One standout change that has captured the community's attention is the addition of ears to Mii characters.
This modification has led to a flurry of discussions across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be integrated into the Mii character creation for the Switch 2. Over on Reddit, the conversation revolved around how this update makes the Miis appear more human-like, opening up possibilities for additional cosmetic options like earrings. However, some fans voiced a preference for the option to revert to the original earless design.
Despite these varied opinions, the enthusiasm for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is undeniable, with the game generating significant buzz following its reveal. Set for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, this title promises to bring fresh and engaging experiences to fans of the series.
