Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 16, 2026
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Nintendo’s loveable avatar characters are back and wackier than ever in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a sequel to the cult-followed 3DS sim, which in itself was a sequel to the Japan-exclusive DS title Tomodachi Collection. The charm of the Nintendo 3DS release came in adding Miis based on your friends, family, and celebrities into one building and seeing how they got on together, how their interactions went, and meddling with their affairs. This holds true in the new entry; you play God, and on a brand new island, you invite your Miis to come and live in a paradise of your own creation. As cool as it is to create and customize new residents, giving them new toys to fiddle with, finding out what foods they like and what clothes they prefer, and how creative you can get with building relationships between Miis, unfortunately, as is classic Nintendo, for how creative and innovative you can get with the game, the overall product is held back by the company’s antiquated approach to online sharing and interactivity.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream only just came out a few days ago, but it seems that it’s been about a year since Nintendo actually finished work on the game.
That news comes from the game’s USK rating. On the German classification website, we see that the game’s “inspection date” was May 20, 2025. It suggests that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream could have been ready to go much earlier.
