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. Revealed during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet announcing Tomodachi Life garnered over 400,000 likes, surpassing the 385,000 likes for the Switch 2's reveal in January.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the latest installment in a beloved series of life-simulation games centered around Nintendo's digital avatars on an island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, released exclusively in Japan for the Nintendo DS in 2009, which sold over 100,000 copies in its first week. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, launched on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, selling over 6.7 million copies and becoming one of the best-selling games on the platform. This game was later released in the West as Tomodachi Life in 2014.

According to Nintendo, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream allows players to "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

Following the reveal trailer, fans have eagerly dissected the video, highlighting various exciting features such as Mii character creation, classic island locations, and Mii interactions. One significant change that caught everyone's attention is the addition of ears to Mii characters.

This alteration sparked a flurry of comments across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be included in the Switch 2's Mii character creation. On Reddit, discussions focused on how the addition of ears makes Miis appear more human-like, opening up possibilities for new cosmetic options like earrings. Some fans, however, expressed a desire for the option to revert to the original earless design.

The buzz surrounding Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream indicates a promising start for the game. Set to launch in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch, it has already captured the hearts of many.
