Nintendo of Europe has announced a fresh campaign to promote 3DS life sim Tomodachi Life this month.
The Tomodachi Life Friendship Fiesta takes place between July 30th and August 9th, and includes special downloads, a new puzzle piece board, fresh social sites and a discount on the game itself for those who have yet to take the plunge.
Here's the full list:
- Go to a Nintendo Zone to receive a free download code for the Tomodachi Speech Bubble HOME Menu theme for your Nintendo 3DS family system.
- A dedicated Puzzle Swap panel will be distributed via SpotPass to all owners of a Nintendo 3DS family system.
- Enjoy international StreetPass relay and meet Mii characters from all over Europe at any Nintendo Zone offering StreetPass relay.
- Nintendo UK will also be launching a brand new Tomodachi Life Facebook page so be sure to stayed tuned for updates and visit the Tomodachi Life Community on Miiverse for more details and activities.
- Don't have Tomodachi Life yet? You can get a 30% discount on the regular price of the game if you buy it on Nintendo eShop.- As always Nintendo fan communities around the UK will be hosting events during the Tomodachi Life Friendship Fiesta. These events are the perfect place to trade with fellow players to find those elusive items, or trade Miis to fill your Tomodachi Life island with all new friends and stories! Visit our unofficial page http://streetpassuk.co.uk/upcoming-events/ to find a community event near you.
The free download of the game is still available on the 3DS eShop, and on the official Tomodachi Life site you can take a personality test to decide what kind of character you'll be in the game.
Tomodachi Life has already sold 1.5 million units in Europe, and this fresh promotional activity should ensure that it shifts a few more. Will you be getting involved, or perhaps this event will encourage you to buy the game for the first time?

That's great! I was actually planning to download it! Usually I would get a retail game physical but for some games it's better to download it.
Yes I may download this with the discount. I still play ACNL daily so I hope I have time to start this too 😊
Hope I can get the free theme and the puzzle via homepass
"The free download of the game is still available on the 3DS eShop,"
Wha?
I have it, it's not much of a game but it's still fun. It's great at filling in when you don't have time to jump into long gaming sessions.
I hope NA gets this stuff too. I would love a Tomodachi Life puzzle & Speech Bubble. Plus, I'm ready for another international streetpass weekend!
Hopefully this fiesta will happen in the U.S. I like Tomodachi enough to have Five islands.
@Captain_Gonru thanks friend. I Darent leave my favourite residents in acnl in case they move out. Isn't tomadachi like that?
I have a pet Hermann tortoise by the way..like your pic 😀
It's been so long since we had a new puzzle panel...felt for sure splatoon and MK8 would get them....
must get it
(p.s; i haven't got the game yet but i did have the welcome version that was given by a friend of my)
@shaneoh You don't need home pass for the puzzle. If you get home pass to work for the theme, please let me know. I never got it to work for Nintendo zone stuff, I always have to go to a McDonald's.
Be cool if NA did something similar, this is one of my favorite 3DS games.
I need to get back to playing this. Squidward and Shrekina WILL be together!
I would love this to happen in Canada, as well. Didn't the UK do something similar for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, as well? Over here, it came out to practically silence... Anyways, I didn't buy Tomodachi Life the first time it went on sale (it was either 32.99 or 27.99) but I'm definitely onboard for a second sale.
Having played this for around a year now, I can't urge you to get the download copy enough, as this is the kind of game that will annoy you with switching it out with a physical copy of another game all the time.
This is one of my favourite 3DS games period. I would be excited, if it wasn't for the fact Nintendo Zones in the Netherlands simply don't work
@Toadsfriend I also wanted a mk8 and Splatoon puzzle board
My son and daughter both have this game and they're both still playing it, that's my recommendation right there!
This game has SO, SO many flaws
Yet, it is SO, SO addicting
Hope this comes to America soon!
I haven't been able to get any nintendo zones around me to work here in the US. So if it comes here I couldn't get it anyways.
@Mario_maniac They forgot the word "demo" in that sentence I believe.
Tomodachi Life felt more like an experience than a game,Throw Nintendogs, The Sims & LSD into a blender and Tomodachi Life would come out.
This game got stale for me a long, long time ago. After a while the dialogue and scenarios start repeating themselves and it just gets boring. It was fun for the short while when everything was new to me, though.
I always feel a bit embarrassed opening my 3DS near my closest GAME store to go on to Nintendo Zone to get the code needed to download the theme, but I'll still get the Tomodachi Life theme. At least I go to work early in the morning, so I can do it before many people are about. It was much better when my local Costa had a hotspot, then I could sit down with a coffee, and nobody there cares what anyone else is doing.
Also, that personality test is completely broken for me. It thinks I'm a Confident Busy Bee.
Nice. Was planning on eventually getting this game, so if I can pick it up now then it'll be a lot cheaper.
Also, finally a new puzzle panel. My 300 play coins aren't doing crap at the moment, having finished all of them.
Is this happening in AU/NZ?
Mr Iwata lives on in my Tomodachi Life.
