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 hype for the Switch 2, becoming Nintendo Japan’s most liked tweet. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet for Tomodachi Life garnered over 400,000 likes, surpassing the Switch 2’s January reveal, which received about 385,000 likes.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream continues the beloved life-simulation series centered around Nintendo’s digital avatars on an island. The franchise began with Tomodachi Collection, launched exclusively in Japan for the Nintendo DS in 2009, selling over 100,000 copies in its first week. Its sequel, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, released on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, sold over 6.7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform. This was later adapted for Western markets as Tomodachi Life in 2014.

Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where you 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 has sparked detailed analysis from fans eager to explore the game's new features. From the Mii characters and island settings to the interactions among them, the trailer offers a lot to unpack. A standout feature that caught everyone's attention is the addition of ears to the Mii characters.

This change has generated significant discussion across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), users expressed hopes that this customization option might extend to the Switch 2’s Mii creation. On Reddit, discussions centered on the more human-like appearance of the Miis and the potential for adding accessories like earrings. Some fans, however, expressed a preference for the option to revert to the original, earless design.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has clearly struck a chord, with its announcement creating a substantial buzz. The game is slated for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.
