Tomodachi Life, known in Japan as Tomodachi Collection: New Life (Japanese: トモダチコレクション 新生活 Hepburn: Tomodachi Korekushon: Shin Seikatsu?), is a life simulation handheld video game developed by Nintendo SPD and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. The game, which is a direct sequel to the Japan-exclusive Nintendo DS title, Tomodachi Collection, was released in Japan in April 2013, and worldwide in June 2014. Along with good sales records, the game received positive reviews. Many reviewers praised the gameplay but criticized the minigames.
The game takes place on an island inhabited by various Miis, which the player can import from their 3DS, 2DS, 3DS XL and other devices, or QR codes, or create from scratch using the 3DS's camera or the in-game creation tools. These Miis can be given their own voice, which is spoken in vocal synthesizer software, and a unique personality based on slider inputs. Miis can then perform various actions, such as eating, trying on different outfits, falling in love with someone, and many leisure activities. As more Miis are introduced, many strange and curious interactions can occur between Miis, such as friendship, rivalry, relationships, and families. As the game goes by, the player unlocks more and more stores, clothes, and food.
In May 2014, a playable demo of the game was distributed to Platinum members of Club Nintendo in North America, the data of which could be transferred to the final version and unlock a bonus in-game item. The game will be bundled with two Nintendo eShop download codes for a 'Welcome version' demo, which can be given to friends. A slightly different demo version was later publicly released for download via the Nintendo eShop. This version does not unlock any features in the full game.
