Tomodachi Life for Nintendo 3DS

About Tomodachi Life for Nintendo 3DS

Tomodachi Life is Nintendo strangest and sweetest life simulation. You fill an island with Mii versions of your friends, family and anyone else you can imagine, assign them voices and quirks, and then watch their lives spiral into comedy. They will form friendships, fall head over heels, start families, form terrible bands and dream about you as a giant. Almost nothing is scripted, which is exactly why it became such a beloved cult favorite.

You guide the island as a helpful presence, solving problems, giving gifts, suggesting outfits and nudging romances along. In return the game serves up rap battles, news bulletins, market stalls and dream sequences of pure nonsense. Checking in for ten minutes can produce a wedding, a breakup and a song about soup. The synthesized voices sell every joke. It is a gentle, funny and oddly touching little world that players kept visiting for years after release.

If you want to play Tomodachi Life today, plan on a cartridge. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, and with it went new digital purchases for every title on the system. Physical copies from retailers and trusted shops are the way forward now. Did you buy it digitally before the closure? Good news, owners can still access their purchased games on their system today.

No two islands alike, and every single one is wonderfully weird.
