Tomodachi Life Living the Dream platforms
Tomodachi Life Living the Dream is only available for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

Tomodachi Life Living the Dream features
Tomodachi Life Living the Dream is a cozy social simulation game where you can design Mii characters to populate and live out their lives on an island.

You get to fully design each character, down to their voice and personality traits.
Once each character arrives on the island, the fun and chaos begin, as you can then help them get to know other residents. Design your island, buy new clothes for characters, learn their likes and dislikes, and help your Miis develop meaningful bonds, whether they be friendship or something more.
You’re given a lot of freedom in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, so what unfolds around your island is entirely up to you. Overall, this game is all about chaos, drama, silliness, and creativity, so get ready to let your imagination run wild when it arrives on April 16.
