Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Launches April 16 on Switch With Inclusive Relationships

The sequel balances broader player expression with curtailed image sharing to prevent out-of-context posts.

Overview

  • A dedicated Nintendo Direct set the April 16 release and confirmed play on Switch 2 without a separate edition.
  • Mii creation now supports a non-binary option and lets players set dating preferences across male, female, and non-binary identities.
  • Expanded tools include face paint and the Palette House workshop to design pets, clothing, house exteriors, ground tiles, and more across a fully customizable island with named shops and facilities.
  • Miis act in real time with their own agency; players can nudge interactions, fuel romances, and house up to eight roommates in a single home.
  • Nintendo will disable image transfers to smartphones, direct social posting, and automatic Switch 2 uploads, and the game offers no online sharing beyond limited local exchange.
