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

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream's announcement on Twitter (X) has taken the internet by storm, becoming Nintendo Japan's most liked tweet. The game's announcement during the Nintendo Direct on March 27 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 Nintendo's beloved life-simulation series, where digital avatars, known as Mii characters, live and interact 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. The sequel, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, released on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, was a massive hit with sales exceeding 6.7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling titles on the 3DS. This game was later brought to the West in 2014 as Tomodachi Life.

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

Following the reveal trailer, fans have eagerly analyzed the footage, pinpointing exciting elements such as Mii character creation, iconic island settings, and dynamic Mii interactions. A significant highlight that caught everyone's attention is the addition of ears to Mii characters.

This change has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be adopted in the Mii character creation for the Switch 2. On Reddit, discussions revolved around the more human-like appearance of Miis and the potential for new cosmetic options like earrings. Some fans, however, expressed a preference for the option to revert to the original earless design.

Despite the varied opinions, the buzz surrounding Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream indicates a promising start. The game is slated for release in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.
