Tomodachi Life, known in Japan as Tomodachi Collection: New Life,[a] is a 2013 social simulation game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the sequel to the Japan-exclusive Nintendo DS title Tomodachi Collection (2009). The game follows the day-to-day interactions of Mii characters residing on an island as they build relationships and solve problems, all overseen by the player.
Much of Tomodachi Collection's staff returned to produce the sequel, including directors Ryutaro Takahashi and Eisaku Nakae. The directorial foundation for Tomodachi Life was set to be a more focused and grounded process compared to its predecessor. The team sought to establish a sociable and warm atmosphere, wanting to inspire players to observe their real-world relationships more positively through the Miis. Art director Mai Okamoto wanted to elevate the series' visuals, and worked closely with returning programmers Nakae and Masanori Nakagawa to develop the game's surreal situational comedy.
The game was initially released in Japan on April 18, 2013. Unlike its predecessor, Nintendo released the game overseas, and undertook major localization efforts to appeal to differing regions. It was released on June 6, 2014, in North America and Europe; June 7, in Australia; and July 17, in South Korea. It sold over 400,000 units in Japan in its debut week and sold 6.72 million copies worldwide by March 2025, making it one of the best-selling 3DS games. Tomodachi Life received generally mixed reviews; it was praised for its humor and overall charm, but critiqued for its repetitive gameplay and lack of user control. The inability for Miis to have same-sex relationships was criticized by reviewers and became the subject of online controversy. In the years following its release, some publications have deemed Tomodachi Life a cult classic among audiences.
A sequel for the Nintendo Switch, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, was released on April 16, 2026. Among other customiza
