About This Item

Populate your island with Mii characters—and find out what happens when they all live there together! Create Mii characters based on family, friends, or your own original ideas—there are plenty of personality traits, little quirks, and physical traits to choose from—including some face customization options you haven’t seen before! Go deep into getting every detail just right, or create Miis quickly and easily by answering some simple questions, and then help them explore their likes and dislikes, find relationships, and get up to all sorts of fun. Your Miis are bound to surprise you as they take on a life of their own! Become the caretaker of an island full of silliness, drama, love, and other surprises. Populate your island with Miis and then pick them up and place them near each other to chat and hang out. Watch your Miis forge unlikely friendships, get into fights, fall in (and out of) love unexpectedly, and so much more as they live their lives! Get to know what your Mii characters like as you take care of them. Give them clothes, food, items, and—most importantly—life advice as they deal with all kinds of problems and situations. You’ll also naturally help shape the community as Miis may pick up and start using the words and phrases you teach them. Build, decorate, and give gifts to make your Miis happy. Shape your landscape! Design your island and place homes, stores, restaurants, and more to supply events and entertainment for your community. Decorate your Mii characters' homes by gifting them furniture, wallpaper, floors, custom-designed interior and exterior decorations, and more—and create pets, food, clothing, and items like books and video games to suit each Mii!

      Extremely fun and authentic game!

      The game is extremely funny and creative!! First of all, the item was preordered and delivered on the day of release, the package came perfectly intact. As for the game it is full of possibilities, every little mechanic in it is fun to explore, character customization is fun to do there are so many option and you can even add face paint and make custom faces for the miis! The houses they live in also have many options for decorations and items within the game that is fun to play with! Not to mention the furniture and objects in the game are eye-catching, there are plenty of interesting interactions between the characters and I had fun discovering the game while playing. Overall great and excellent choice!! Can’t get bored while playing!! Worth the price!

      Fun cozy game

      Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is really fun. It’s meant to be a cozy game, so enjoying it at a slow pace is highly recommended, and makes the experience better in my opinion. This game has gotten me to draw more since it came out than I have in years, just to make my Miis into characters I like. The artistic aspect is a fun addition to the game. You can draw on Miis to personalize them more, create your own objects, treasures, roads, buildings, clothing, and more. It’s got a lot to do if you enjoy being creative. You have more freedom in this game to design your island the way you want, whereas in past entries, you weren’t able to design much of anything. It’s sort of like having an island full of people you have to take care of, and you can watch their relationships grow or diminish on their own with little involvement. It’s really up to you how you want to play. The dialogue can be pretty funny, although it’ll get repetitive when you get into the later hours of the game. I don’t personally feel that it ruins the experience, but others might feel differently. Much of the game experience is repetition. Check on your Miis, feed them, give them things, create things, design the island, rinse and repeat. It’s an extremely relaxed game and it’s got some pretty silly scenarios and dialogue between your Miis. Overall, I really enjoy this game after playing it for almost a month at my own pace. There are a few things I wish they kept from the previous game, like the concert hall, but the creative aspect keeps me engaged, personally.

      It’s a great game no bad things about it

      I bought this game for my girlfriend actually but man oh man this game is amazing it’s so much better than the original tomadachi life and it’s just so fun to create and play with your miis. I use it on my Nintendo switch lite which runs beautifully I love the interactions and the way it just allows you to make any one and everyone

      The Chillest God Game

      Tomodachi Life is a very particular kind of experience that certainly won't be for everyone, but for some the idea of essentially playing with dolls that have a mild amount of their own input into the proceedings will hit in a way that nothing else quite does. You absolutely will get out of this what you put in. If you aren't able or interested in engaging with the creation tools, you probably won't find much here to hold your attention. But when you do and you reach a critical mass of your strange creations all talking to and about and with each other, using the unhinged language you've taught them directly and indirectly, the payoff is entertaining in an extremely unique way. It's a shame about sharing tools being unavailable, but the tradeoff of being totally untethered and unrestricted when it comes to what you can say and make is absolutely worth it. This isn't so much a "game" like other life sims or even other God games as it is a uniquely interactive dollhouse for toys you're making yourself. If that sounds intriguing, you're in the right place.

      A Game of Thrones

      [Employee of bestbuy] This game is simple and hilarious. You create up to 70(!!) Miis, each with their own personalities. It is your job to sculpt their island, decorate their homes, design their clothes and bring them closer together. You’re acting as their God. They come to you with problems and you solve them, or you let it play out and see where it goes without your intervention. I, for instance, have an island of characters solely from HBO shows. So my island has people Tony Soprano, Rue Bennett and Dr. Manhattan. There’s no limitations or filters on who you can make or their interests. Your Miis can be as cute or as twisted as you want, please give it a shot! It’s so fun.
