The meaning of life
During the many hours you can potentially spend lost within Tomodachi Life, you'll find yourself wondering if this new 3DS outing can actually be called a game in the traditional sense. It's certainly addictive and almost universally appealing thanks to its savvy combination of humour, social sharing and Mii-related activities,...

Feature From Famicom Disk System To Switch - The Evolution Of Nintendo's Miis
Love Mii do
Ah, the Mii. We remember when we first made our own Miis back in 2006. Back then the most character customisation we had experienced was probably with The Sims, so making Miis of our friends, family and favourite video game characters was a fun pastime. It's a real shame, then, that Nintendo stepped away from their Miis, presumably in an...

Since the surprise announcement that Tomodachi Life is coming to the West on 6th June, gamers have been trying to figure out exactly the game is all about.

About The Game
Tomodachi Life puts a personal community in your pocket, starring people you know, such as your friends, parents, your teacher and anyone else you’ve ever dreamt of befriending.
All these familiar faces appear in-game as Mii characters, the avatar system first introduced on Nintendo’s Wii console in 2006 and later adopted on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Since its launch, players around the world have enjoyed creating Mii characters of themselves, their friends and families, fictional characters and even celebrities; as such the current worldwide Mii population stands at a staggering 200 million. For the first time in Nintendo’s history, Mii characters can now exist in Tomodachi Life as living, relatable characters with a voice and a personality all their own… And it’s little wonder that surprising things will happen when those Mii characters get a mind of their own! Players will become the director to their Mii characters’ lives by helping them find love and happiness, and as the drama unfolds, each hilarious scene can be easily shared on a range of social networks. Almost anything is possible in Tomodachi Life - Your friends. Your stories. Your life.

is this like Animal crossing?
No
Is this like the Sims?
This will be better than the Sims.
Hmm, I need to see some gameplay first.
For now, I prefer Animal crossing over Tomodashi life...
But we'll see.
@Sylvester what does one game have to do with the other?,
really looking forward to reading the review!!
I just realized I never really knew the price of this game. At $35 I think I'll be skipping out on this one.
Graphics are somewhat bizzare!
jjmesa16, thats a pretty good price. A lot of 3ds games like this are $40. What did you expect, $20?

I took the plunge and bought this game! It's very fun
@adrian123 no
@Dutch_Cheesecake I love both
I play this game for fun
I love this game! BEST Mii game in the world! It's like Mii in Animal Crossings! I can't wait to get Miitopia.
I have MiiTopia and this one and these are my go to games in terms of favorites.
I would say it's closer to Nintendogs in that you're able to pet, feed, dress, and play with them.
Now if only they could integrate animal crossing levels of interior decoration..
It's enjoyable but gets repetitive FAST!
I can think of several dozens of simple improvements they could have made..
A major gripe is wanting to have a bit more control/influence over their relationships,
rather than leaving everything to chance.
And after losing Miitomo (which had some wonderful features along with vastly superior wearables)
It's difficult going back to this outdated thing..
I'm keeping my fingers crossed in hopes we're treated to a meatier sequel one day.
Likewise for Miitopia...
Still absolutely adore them both to bits though!
If they release this for the switch I will cry. Please make it happen, Nintendo.
This is a cute game, and I really enjoyed playing it. It's not the kind of thing to invest a whole lot of time into though, unless you want the gameplay to get stale. If you have squirrel-like tendencies and like collecting stuff, then you'd really enjoy this game. There are tons of random, weird things to buy or find. A neat game to "kill" dying time (like when your waiting for another game to load haha).
I still play this game and question why Nintendo gave me the power to have Rosalina ditch Tingle for Mario....
@ventoauero1985 never thought that I find a jojo fan here
@Mina_sparklexo aye! You know what they say. Jojo fans attract each other 😎👉🏼👉🏼
my first game on the 3ds and one of my favorites. it has no logic or reason to it but it's still a very fun game overall. I'm really hoping it would get a port with new features to the switch like Miitopia did at some point, it would be a blast
Fun game to ***** around in, should be ported to switch so i can make Lenin.
OMG I remember playing this on my 3ds i wish they would make an port for the switch
It's fun for when you want scenarios, but can get a bit repetitive. Also, same sex marriages aren't allowed and suchlike. Overall, though, it it is good for its day and I hope they port it to the switch!
