Nintendo has revealed its next free trial for Switch Online service subscribers located in Japan. This time around, it's the Japanese exclusive Neko Tomo: Smile Mashimashi by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Neko Tomo originally launched on the Switch (and 3DS) in 2018 and follows on from Teddy Together. 'Smile Mashimashi' is an updated version that was delivered for free (digitally) in November 2020. The trial will be made available from 22nd - 28th February.
In this Japan-only release, you teach words to cats to deepen your bonds with them. The update adds a "photo studio" - to take shots of the cats, and also a "tailor" where you can design clothes for them. There are various activities to enjoy, too - such as cooking, fishing and gardening.
What would you like to see Nintendo make available locally as its next free trial? Comment below.

Dammit, you got my hopes up for a (long overdue) localisation.
The two games Nintendo fans beg a localization for:
Nintendogs and cats Switch edition when? There’s obviously a market for it.
Also I feel like a real cat would maul an owner that tried to put them in all of those clothes.

Also, Yokai Watch 4++, Yokai Watch Jam, Model Debut Nicola 2.
Yeah, I saw this tonight, but no english support.
Ew....no thanks, I'll stick to a real and normal kitty.
This game has an extremely catchy song. I played it in Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n Fun and it just grabs your brain.
This would be a hit in the US and UK

R U afraid with talking kittens? 😆
It is just plain idiotic that Nintendo does not release games like this for the English speaking world. It would sell like crazy.
@Kiyata doubt it, they are many games like this in mobile for free.
@dimi
I prefer casual games on modern consoles with physical release than the mobile games.
I never like free-2-play mobile games.
