Tomodachi Life has been around in the West for two years, yet it's still a focus for 'evergreen' sales. The Mii social-sim is at the centre of the latest marketing campaign by Nintendo UK to promote the #3DSLife hashtag, with videos featuring singer and musician Ella Eyre.
Eyre has had quite a few hits as a featured and solo artist, and she's now appeared in a few videos promoting the 3DS title. In the longest she's shown with a friend at her Mum's house talking about her life and the game, while a couple of shorter videos look destined to be TV adverts.
Nintendo UK doesn't bring in celebrities for marketing as much as it did in the Wii and DS heyday, but in any case these seems to be charming commercials. Let us know what you think, and below is Eyre's biggest hit to date - as featured singer on Rudimental's 'Waiting All Night'.

I never heard of her. I personally get very cringy from videos like this, but it's clearly effective in a way, and I LOVE Tomodachi Life, so I'm fine with this if it helps with promoting the game.
They're still promoting Tomodachi Life? Jeez... shouldn't they be promoting some newer games...
It's okay. We need some craziness sometimes, as long not really annoying.
It would have been nice if Miitomo was a hell of a lot more like Tomodachi Life. I only find myself using it for Platinum points and nothing else.
This doesn't feel like a Nintendo video.
One thing that i like Tomodachi Life is the English pronounce. Because that game designed with English pronounce on USA version, my crazy ideas is make my Mii villagers say some words in Indonesian language by using English pronounce. Let's say. I want my Mii say 'Saya cinta kamu' in English means 'I Love you' , but i can make my Mii say my words exactly sounds like Indonesian pronounce. I will type this ' Sha Ya Chin Tha Kah Moo' and VOILA, my Mii say that words in Indonesian accent PERFECTLY. And sometimes i caught myself ROFL after hearing my experiments. Seriously, you can try it. Make your Mii say different language with English pronounce.
Still don't know who she is.
I remember when Ninty used Beyonce to promote Rhythm Paradise on DS that was a masterstroke that certainly sold loads of copies.
@PlaytendoGuy What's a Beyonce? Sounds familiar....
Oh yeah, I remember! I think I caught a shiny Beyonce in Pokemon Emerald.

I know what you mean. I wanted one of my explorers to say "¡Andale!", but he says An-dale. I'm not sure whether you can encourage them to say it differently with foreign letters (in this case 'é'), but it sounded so funny, I just left it like that.
@edhe
Maybe you can try type this " Un Duh Lay " . Give a space for every single syllabe and your Mii will pronounce perfectly.
@Anti-Matter : I'm Turkish and most my Miis are based on Turkish friends/family, so it's both fun and annoying trying to perfect the pronunciation for all the names (and sometimes it's not always possible to get it right due to the limitations of the English language). I also love that the 3DS/Wii U allow for a greater variety of characters, as there were many letters in Turkish that couldn't be used in previous console generations. I only wish that Japanese characters were available as well.
