Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Announcement is Nintendo Japan's Most Liked Tweet
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream’s announcement on Twitter (X) became Nintendo Japan’s most liked tweet, surpassing even the excitement for the Switch 2. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet for Tomodachi Life garnered over 400,000 likes, outpacing the Switch 2's January reveal which received around 385,000 likes.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a continuation of the beloved life-simulation series where players manage Nintendo's digital avatars on an island. The original game, Tomodachi Collection, launched in Japan in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, selling over 100,000 copies in its debut week. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, released on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, became a massive hit with over 6.7 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling games on the 3DS. This title was later released in the West in 2014 under the name Tomodachi Life.
Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where you 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 several exciting features. These include the creation of Mii characters, classic island settings, and intricate Mii interactions. One significant change that caught everyone's attention was the addition of ears to Mii characters.
This change sparked a flurry of comments across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), users expressed hopes that this feature would be incorporated into the Mii character creation for the Switch 2. On Reddit, discussions focused on how this makes the Miis appear more human-like, and the potential to add accessories like earrings. Some fans, however, expressed a desire for an option to revert to the original earless design.
The buzz surrounding Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream's reveal indicates a strong start for the game. It is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2026.
