For which platforms does the new Tomodachi Life appear?
Comes for Nintendo Switch:So far, Nintendo has only confirmed the upcoming new branch of life simulation for the (first) Nintendo Switch.
Also for Switch 2?However, since the title will only come onto the market in the coming year, we assume that it will also be available for Switch 2. In any case, the new Tomodachi Life will also be playable on the new Nintendo console thanks to the downward compatibility.
Whether the game is also aRemoring the Switch 2 remains to be seen.
Gameplay - How does the new Tomodachi Life play?
Tomodachi Life is a life simulation in the style of Animal Crossing, although we have much more freedom here when it comes to creating our characters. We populate an island with our self -made Miis, whose look, personality and even voice can be adapted.
So chaos is inevitable, because if we want, we can even let our friends, colleagues or family members collide and watch them enjoy it.
Setting:The second part of the life simulation sends our Miis this time to an idyllic island in the ocean, from which we can already get a first impression in the revelation trailer.
The special:Our Miis act completely independently in the current game. You decide completely yourself which other Miis you interact. And that doesn't always have to be friendly. So we see in the trailer how two figures argue loudly and throw things together.
Our Mii protégés also pursue a wide variety of activities in the course of the game. The trailer already shows us outdoor workouts and dancing together.
In addition, we may finally look forward to queer relationshipsthat our Miis can enter into with each other. This was not yet possible on the 3DS and accordingly criticized the community. This is not confirmed, but in the trailer we see a female Mii who dreams of another (gigantic) woman, which could be a possible indication of queer relationships.
Are you looking forward to Tomodachi Life 2?
