Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Announcement is Nintendo Japan's Most Liked Tweet

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream’s announcement on Twitter (X) has become a sensation, surpassing even the hype for the Nintendo Switch 2. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream garnered over 400,000 likes, outshining the Switch 2’s reveal in January, which received around 385,000 likes.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the latest installment in the beloved life-simulation series, where players immerse themselves in the lives of Nintendo’s digital Mii avatars on a whimsical island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, launched 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, released on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, achieved remarkable success with over 6.7 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling games on the 3DS. This game was later brought to Western audiences as Tomodachi Life in 2014.

In Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, 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 excitement among fans, who have eagerly dissected the video to uncover its new features. The trailer showcases Mii characters, classic island settings, and dynamic interactions. One of the most discussed changes is the addition of ears to the Mii characters.

This modification has led to a flurry of reactions across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), a user expressed hope that this feature would extend to the Mii character creation on the upcoming Switch 2. On Reddit, discussions centered around how the addition of ears makes Miis appear more human-like, opening possibilities for accessories like earrings. Some fans, however, voiced a preference for an option to revert to the original earless design.

The buzz surrounding Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream signals a promising start for the game. Set for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, it continues to generate excitement and anticipation.
