Tomodachi Life Living the Dream

It’s time to head back to island life as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream officially releases on April 16th on Nintendo Switch. In a new focused Direct, Nintendo outlined everything you need to know about the new social sim, including the new Mii customization tools (several unique to the sequel). Check it out below.

Creating one Mii isn’t enough, however. Once you’ve fashioned a whole community with unique personalities, the island will grow and develop. You can also directly pick up and drop Miis, triggering different reactions, such as approaching and becoming friends with others.

Miis can have their own ideas, such as who should be friends and what they should discuss. In-game time follows the real world, and even if you’re not playing, the Miis will be busy, leading their lives. Among other new features, there are shops like Fresh Kingdom for food, Foto-Tomo for taking pictures with Miis, New Station for all the island’s happenings, and more.

You can even purchase several different room types for your Mii with T and C Reno. It includes everything from a mini-library to a witch’s coven. That only scratches the surface of what Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has to offer – stay tuned for more details shortly.
