Tomodachi Life Announcement Breaks Nintendo Japan's Twitter Records

The reveal of Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream during Nintendo's March 27 Direct presentation outperformed Switch 2's announcement engagement. Nintendo Japan's tweet about the game surpassed 400,000 likes, eclipsing the Switch 2 reveal tweet's 385,000 likes from January.

This charming life simulation game series features Nintendo's iconic Mii characters living on a virtual island. The franchise began with 2009's Japanese-exclusive Tomodachi Collection for DS, selling over 100,000 copies in its debut week. Its sequel, Tomodachi Collection: New Life (2013 for 3DS), became a global hit as Tomodachi Life (2014), moving over 6.7 million units to rank among 3DS's top sellers.

Nintendo describes Living The Dream as letting players: "Design Mii avatars representing yourself, friends, or family and observe their island adventures. Mediate their relationships and enjoy hilarious character interactions - you might even peek into their dreams!"

Mii Characters Gain Ears in Living The Dream

Eagle-eyed fans analyzing the trailer noticed numerous enhancements including revamped Mii customization - particularly the surprising addition of ears. Social media erupted with reactions to this aesthetic change.

Twitter users speculated whether ear customization might carry over to Switch 2's Mii creator. Reddit discussions debated whether the new human-like Miis would support ear accessories or include classic earless options. Despite divided opinions, the overwhelming response demonstrates strong anticipation for the game.

Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch in 2026. For more highlights from Nintendo's March 27 Direct presentation, explore our comprehensive coverage below!
