Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?

With this kind of Mii nightmare graphics, I'm not even remotely curious to see what the game is actually about.

I’ll wait for a sale before I bite. I like to collect first-party releases, but I doubt I’ll like this one that much.

I was thinking about it, would like to play something like this together with my daughter, but after seeing the trailer I think the humor is perhaps a bit difficult to understand for her? Anyone here has experience with playing the 3DS game with their 4 year old sibling?

I won’t play it single player, I think this is an experience you should share together. (Or talk about after), and my counterpart doesn’t play games at all.

a fantastic game thats been gone for 13 years, finally coming back larger than ever. i cant wait to get my hands on it

Definitely not for me.

Direct was far more than any fan expected. Cozy, but chaotic. Just the type of game for me.

Nope. I didn't like the game on 3DS, and I doubt I will like it on Switch. Nintendo should've left the Miis on the Wii and Wii U.

The direct was amazing ngl. I was so invested in the drama going on with the miis so now I'm planning on getting the game 😂

I have no interest in this. If I ever did in the future it'll be on a very steep discount. But we know how Nintendo is with discounts so I guess I may never play this.😆

Not for me personally but I have two teenagers in my house looking forward to it with both being fans of the 3DS version.

This is blowing up on X/Twitter, as it was the main thing I saw on there on my timeline. But I grew out of the Mii’s a long time ago, and I never got into the game on 3DS. I’ll pass on it, but I hope others enjoy it.

Will I be getting the game? Nope!

I might try a demo and if i enjoy that, which I doubt, I’d still wait for a heavy discount.

I'm getting it when it comes out- but will probably pre-order a month away from launch like I normally do. The game seems like a massive expansion from what Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life did on the Nintendo DS and 3DS. Tomodachi Life was pretty much akin to an expanded remake of Tomodachi Collection, while Tomodachi Life Living the Dream seems to actually be a proper sequel with ideas of it's own.

At first I was a bit apprehensive about the customization aspect- and worried that the game was going to give us way too much control over everything, but the more I watch the direct and read through the info that we have.. the more excited I am for it. I think it's weirdly fitting to have a bit more control over the island and design elements- given that Tomodachi Life and Collection basically already put us in the position of a God. Adding things into a sandbox and watching people interact with it feels like a natural extension of the zany people-watching simulator that the original games were.

I'm also just excited to get the Miis back, and excited for the expanded customization options they're introducing for this game. Same with finally getting same-sex marriage. Now I don't have to make one of my OCs a man just because she's attracted to other women.

Eh, maybe, it's at least on my radar though I'm not 100%. Probably just depends what else comes out around it.

Probably not. The original has a bizarre place in my heart. I brought it on an inter-railing trip with me and my friends got really engrossed in the oddness of it, passing the 3DS around during long train rides and creating abominable Mii families. A case of right place, right time. I think I’ve just moved on since.

Probably have to pick up two copies for my kids so they aren't fighting over the cartridge!

I enjoyed the first tomodachi life but after the direct I don't know why I shouldn't just play the old one on my 3ds.

I was curious having never played the 3ds version but this direct showed me this isn't my type of game.

Nope, I don't like life sim games. Too dull and boring to just do something I could go outside and do, I play video games for more surreal scenarios that DON'T exist IRL.

@Bolt_Strike I mean, to be fair- most of the stuff in Tomodachi Life isn't stuff you can actually do in reality. It gets extremely bizarre pretty fast.

Don't get the appeal of these games at all.
Want to a play Animal Crossing but without any of the charm?

Looked up the sales of the series and was surprised by its success however.

@VoidofLight Yeah but you're doing mundane everyday life stuff in the process, that's the boring part. Having one of the Miis be giant or whatever other weird stuff going on doesn't really make up for that.

I don't like the genre. I'm not on board with this cozy social sim trend. It bores me to tears, I play video games to get away from the kinds of activities these games focus on. Maybe if they did a sim game that was focused on something a little more exotic and exciting I'd be willing to play that, but not this.

100%, my son’s birthday is in April and he’s already told me he wants this digitally 😆

Nah, not interested in the slightest. I just still can’t believe this game got a direct and Metroid didn’t.

The first one I played on 3DS was such a delight. It's so Japanese. I'll definitely get it!

It's not a game for me but the Direct was fun. I hope it's good for everyone that wants it.

DAY ONE, considering game like this will be very hard to find and get inflated price in the future.
This can be my GOTY 2026 candidate. 😊

Absolutely loved the 3DS instalment, but this is sadly a hard pass from me. I was initially considering grabbing a few extra copies to gift to family members, but I will no longer be doing so either.

Like Miitopia and the previous Tomodachi game, I had an absolute blast! The humor is so silly, very Japan, and my household absolutely adores the other Mii-themed games. Especially since my partner, myself, and our friends put ourselves (and our cat) in them, so chaotically hilarious!

I look forward to this, we're getting this day 1!

I'm considering it but might wait to see more footage of it
