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, becoming Nintendo Japan's most liked tweet. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on March 27, the tweet garnered over 400,000 likes, surpassing 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 manage Nintendo's digital avatars on an island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, released exclusively in Japan in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, selling over 100,000 copies in its first week. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, launched 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 released in the West as Tomodachi Life in 2014.

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 has sparked a frenzy among fans, who have eagerly dissected the video to uncover the game's new features. From the creation of Mii characters to classic island settings and Mii interactions, the trailer offers plenty to get excited about. However, the addition of ears to Mii characters has particularly caught the community's attention.

This change has sparked a variety of reactions across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be integrated into 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.

Despite these varied opinions, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has clearly struck a chord with fans, generating significant buzz following its reveal. The game is slated for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.
