Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Announcement is Nintendo Japan's Most Liked Tweet
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream’s announcement on Twitter (X) has eclipsed the excitement surrounding the Switch 2, becoming Nintendo Japan’s most liked tweet. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet for Tomodachi Life garnered over 400,000 likes, surpassing the Switch 2’s reveal in January, which received approximately 385,000 likes.
This latest installment in the life-simulation series, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, continues the tradition of focusing on Nintendo’s digital avatars, known as Miis, as they navigate life on an island. The franchise 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 successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, launched on the 3DS in Japan in 2013 and sold over 6.7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform. This game was later released in the West in 2014 as Tomodachi Life.
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
The reveal trailer for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has sparked considerable excitement among fans, who have eagerly dissected the footage. The trailer showcases a variety of features including Mii character creation, familiar island settings, and dynamic Mii interactions. One of the most discussed changes is the addition of ears to Mii characters.
This new feature has generated a flurry of comments across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this customization option would extend to the Mii creation on the Switch 2. Discussions on Reddit focused on how the addition of ears makes Miis appear more human-like, opening up possibilities for further customization such as earrings. However, some fans voiced 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. Scheduled for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, it promises to captivate players with its unique blend of life simulation and character interaction.
