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

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream’s announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has eclipsed the excitement around the Switch 2, becoming Nintendo Japan’s most liked tweet. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet 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 Nintendo’s beloved life-simulation series, centered around Mii characters living on an island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, released 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, launched on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, selling over 6.7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform. This success led to its Western release in 2014 as Tomodachi Life.

Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where 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 fans buzzing with excitement, dissecting every detail from the Mii characters and classic island settings to the interactions between characters. One standout feature that has caught everyone's attention is the addition of ears to Mii characters.

This change has sparked a flurry of comments across social media. On X, one user expressed hope that this feature would be incorporated into the Mii character creation on the Switch 2. On Reddit, discussions centered on how the addition of ears makes Miis look more human, with some users excited about the potential for adding accessories like earrings. However, not everyone is on board; some fans wish for the option to revert to the original earless design.

Despite these varied reactions, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has undeniably created a significant stir since its announcement. The game is slated for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.
