The announcement came alongside today’s special Tomodachi Life: living the dream Direct, where fans were treated to 20 minutes of all-new gameplay featuring classics Tomodachi comedy.
The preview dove into all the finer details of the life simulation game, including Mii creation, a relationship system, island renovation, customization, romance, and much more.

Look on it
A bit like Animal Crossing: New HorizonsPlayers can customize their island to their liking by rearranging buildings, flora, and other landscape decorations, expanding areas to make their island larger, and even listening to suggestions from other Miis.
The island will also feature several stores, including the Fresh Kingdom food market, Where a Wear, a clothing store, T&C Reno, where players can purchase customization features for their home, and a marketplace where items sold will change based on the current time.
There is also the MNM Information Station, a source of information on everything happening on the island, as well as a fashion photo studio called Foto-Tomo.
For even more customization options, players can use Little Quirks, which can be assigned to Miis in the form of personality traits, including specific phrases, movements, and favorite foods.
Players can also access Palette House, a place to manually create pets, clothing, decorations for their island, and more.
In addition to a ton of relational interactions, if a Mii wishes to move in with another, they will be able, thanks to the game’s conversation system, to have households allowing up to eight characters.
It doesn’t appear as of yet that the game is getting a separate, enhanced version for Switch 2 or any particular improvements, but Nintendo has said that it will be “compatible” with the latest console.
