Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Switch Makes A Huge Splash After Its Announcement
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Announcement is Nintendo Japan's Most Liked Tweet
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream's announcement on Twitter (X) has become the most liked tweet from Nintendo Japan, surpassing even the excitement around the Switch 2. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet for Tomodachi Life garnered over 400,000 likes, outshining the Switch 2's reveal in January, which received around 385,000 likes.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the latest installment in the popular life-simulation series where players guide Nintendo's Mii avatars as they live on an island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, released exclusively in Japan in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, which sold over 100,000 copies in its first week. Its sequel, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, launched on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, selling over 6.7 million copies and becoming one of the best-selling games on the platform. This game was later released in the West as Tomodachi Life in 2014.
Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where players can "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
Following the reveal trailer, fans have eagerly dissected the video, highlighting various exciting features. The trailer showcases created Mii characters, familiar island settings, and the interactions between Miis. However, the most talked-about change is the addition of ears to Mii characters.
This alteration has sparked a flurry of comments across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be included in the Mii character creation for the Switch 2. On Reddit, discussions focused on how the addition of ears makes Miis appear more human-like, opening up possibilities for accessories like earrings. Some fans, however, expressed a preference for the option to revert to the original earless design.
The buzz surrounding Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream indicates a strong start for the game. Set to launch in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, it promises to bring new life to the beloved series.
