History of the Tomodachi Life Series
The first Tomodachi Life game was released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2014. The series follows the day-to-day interactions of Mii characters, once a staple of Nintendo branding. It was a sequel to a game that was exclusive to Japan.
The first game sold over 6 million copies worldwide and became the 11th best-selling Nintendo 3DS game of all time. Now, over a decade later, its sequel is one of the final Nintendo games made for the original Nintendo Switch.
Insider Gaming will continue to monitor all things Tomodachi Life as the game nears closer to release.
