Editorial overview
What it is
Create Mii characters based on family and friends, someone you admire, or something completely original—there are plenty of personality traits, little quirks, and physical traits to choose from—including some face customization options you haven’t seen before! Go deep into getting every detail just right, or create Miis quickly and easily by answering some simple questions, and then help them explore their likes and dislikes, find relationships, and get up to all sorts of fun. Your Miis are bound to surprise you as they take on a life of their own!
The premise
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a social simulation game with no scripted narrative. Players oversee the daily lives of Mii characters on a tropical island as they autonomously form relationships, solve problems, and develop personalities.
