For Tomodachi Life on the 3DS, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'A Question about using Hypnotizers on Miis'. Tomodachi is a series of simulation games by Nintendo. The series first started in 2009 when Tomodachi Collection was released for the Nintendo DS in Japan. The second game, titled Tomodachi Collection: New Life in Japan, and the first one to receive an international release, as Tomodachi Life, was released for the Nintendo 3DS.

Tomodachi Life is compatible with Citra. The game will boot and run, with minor stuttering in some segments. So far the Mii’s dialogue cuts short and skips to the next line.

Tomodachi Life^[a] is a life simulationvideo 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, June 2014 worldwide and July 2014 in South Korea. The game received positive reviews and good sales records. Many reviewers praised the gameplay but criticised the minigames. Its name means Friend Life.

Gameplay[edit]

The game begins with the player naming their island and creating or importing their personal Mii, who is referred to as the player's 'look-alike' and lives in an apartment building. The building holds up to 100 Miis. (or more depending on the date of the release of your copy)

The player can import Miis from the system's Mii Maker, other devices or QR codes or create them from scratch using the 3DS's camera or the in-game Mii Maker. The Miis are voiced by a text-to-speech software and have unique personalities. Miis can then perform various actions, such as eating, trying on different outfits, falling in love with each other, and engaging in many leisure activities. As more Miis are added to the island, many strange and curious interactions can occur between them, such as friendship, romance, rivalry, romantic relationships and families. As the game goes by, the player unlocks more stores, clothes, food, and places for the Miis to play. They can even unlock a port, where they can give and 'trade' goods with other islands.

Development[edit]

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 to unlock a bonus in-game item.^[1] The game is bundled with two Nintendo eShop download codes for a 'Welcome version' demo, which can be given to friends.^[2] 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.

Following the announcement of a worldwide release, controversy arose concerning the impossibility of same-sex relationships. Nintendo stated, 'The ability for same-sex relationships to occur in the game was not part of the original game that launched in Japan, and that game is made up of the same code that was used to localise it for other regions outside Japan.' ^[3] In May 2013, it was widely reported that a bug in the original Japanese version of the game, which enabled same-sex relationships, was patched by Nintendo.^[4] This was refuted by Nintendo in a statement made April 2014, explaining that same-sex relationships were never possible, and that the patch in fact fixed a different issue.^[5] Despite various campaigns from users, Nintendo stated that it would not be possible to add same-sex relationships to the game, as they 'never intended to make any form of social commentary with the launch of the game',^[6] and because it would require significant development alterations which would not be able to be released as a post-game patch. The company later apologised and stated that if they were to create a third game in the series they would 'strive to design a gameplay experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.'^[7]

Reception[edit]

Tomodachi Life has received positive reviews. It holds an average of 72% and 71/100 on review aggregate sites GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively.^[8][9][10]IGN gave the game a score of 8.4, calling it 'a surprisingly funny and rewarding experience.'^[11]Polygon gave Tomodachi Life a 7.5 out of 10, praising its likeability despite certain aspects being repetitive.^[12]GamesRadar gave the game 4 out of 5 stars, praising its weird humor and relaxing gameplay, whilst criticising the minigames for being too simple.^[13]GameTrailers gave the game a score of 6.0, stating 'the pervasive sense of quirkiness in Tomodachi Life works, but can’t sustain the entire game.'^[14] The game has received criticism for not enabling relationships between Mii characters of the same sex; Nintendo of America later apologized for failing to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life, stating that it wasn't possible for NoA to change the game's design, or for Nintendo to change this aspect in a post-ship patch. It also noted that 'if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.'^[15][16]

Tomodachi Life was the best seller in the Japanese video game market during the week of its release, selling about 404,858 units.^[17] By September 2014, its global sales reached 3.12 million units.^[18] As of December 31, 2019, Nintendo has sold 6.55 million units of the game worldwide,^[19] making it one of the top 10 best selling games on the 3DS.

Legacy[edit]

A stage based on Tomodachi Life appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.^[20]Miitomo, a social networkingmobile app for iOS and Android devices, was released in March 2016. The app was created by the same core team who developed Tomodachi Life, and features very similar ideas. In 2016, a similar game involving Miis, Miitopia, was released in Japan.^[21] It was released worldwide the following year.

Often, a pocket watch (or another object of that sort) is swung back and forth in front of a victim repeatedly to hypnotize them. This is almost always accompanied by the hypnotist saying 'You are getting very sleepy...' or some variation.

Tomodachi Life Pc

Truth in Television: Since these kind of motions are rather hypnotic in Real Life, this trope somewhat makes sense.

See also More Hypnotizable Than He Thinks, Hypno Fool, Hypnotic Eyes, and Trigger Phrase. Not to be confused with Hypno Trinket, which is something the subject/victim wears, or Mind-Control Device, which is a device that has the sole purpose of hypnotizing someone/controlling someone's mind. Could be used to Hypnotize the Princess, or (very rarely) for Mass Hypnosis.

Examples

• A commercial for Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 has Wario attempting to hypnotize the viewers into becoming him. It's a variation on the famous 'Obey Wario, destroy Mario!' ad for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
• In this commercial for Trix, the Rabbit thinks being hypnotized will help him get over his obsession with Trix. The hypnotist uses a watch to put him under.

• A brief bit in Nichijou features Mio trying this on Yuuko with a yen coin. Yuuko ends up trying to eat it.
• A scene in Strawberry Marshmallow also features the girls trying hypnosis with a yen coin.
• How Jango the hypnotist from One Piece hypnotizes his victims to make them sleep, or his allies to make them stronger. Problem is, he often hypnotizes himself as well as his targets.
• Meg is hypnotized in this manner in one episode of Majokko Meg-chan. To elaborate, the pervert Chou fantasizes about using a pendulum to hypnotize Meg, and later uses a cuckoo clock.
• An episode of the Nodame Cantabile anime involves Nodame hypnotizing Chiaki in order to cure his fear of flying. She uses a watch because that's how she had seen it done in movies.
• Nanapon from Seven of Seven can use her crystal in this way. In one episode, she tries to teach Nana, but ends up hypnotizing herself instead.
• In an episode of MegaMan NT Warrior Axess, Ms. Yuri hypnotizes Ms. Mari using a pair of Clackers.
• In a chapter of Squid Girl, Sanae uses one to try hypnotizing the titular protagonist into loving her. It doesn't work, but since almost everyone around her is so annoyed that they decide to play along and fake being hypnotized (Even her pet dog was faking it), she buys it anyway. Only Squid Girl herself doesn't bother playing along.
• Doraemon: One of Doraemon's gadgets, as shown in 'Doraemon's Time Capsule', is a wand that acts as a hypnotic pendulum that can hypnotize even artificial intelligence such as robots.

• In the Lamput episode 'Hypnosis', Fat Doc sees a hypnotist use a swinging pocket watch to hypnotize someone in a TV show, and he and Slim Doc use this idea to hypnotize Lamput into doing their bidding.

• Calvin is hypnotized in this manner by the school psychiatrist in Calvin and Hobbes: The Series.

• In Carry On Matron, hypnotherapist Dr Goode is seen hypnotizing himself before being walked in on.
• Our Man Flint. Flint hypnotizes Lloyd Cramden by using his watch, but not by swinging it: it generates a small light moving around on its face, and Cramden becomes hypnotized watching it.
• Variation in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: In an early scene, E.T. lulls Elliott to sleep in this manner. In this case, E.T. sways his own body back and forth, causing Elliott to sway with him and fall into a trance.
• Frankenstein 1970, Victor von Frankenstein does this with reflected light; playing it across the eyes of his victim while he talks in a low, hypnotic tone. He hypnotises Schutter with light reflected off a pair of forceps, and Mike with light reflected off a coin.
• In Theatre of Death, Davras hypnotizes Nicole by reflecting light off his ring and moving it slowly back and forth across her eyes.

• A stage magician holds up a watch and says that it's his grandfather's watch, and is priceless in and of itself outside of its utility in hypnotizing people. He hypnotizes the entire audience, using it as a pendulum and begins his first command. 'Now, I want you to...' He drops the watch and it shatters on the ground. 'Shit!' It took four weeks to clean that theatre's seats...

• Patrick from The Mentalist has used various objects to hypnotize people: a pen, a watch, a necklace...
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Xander gets a Literal Split Personality, his meeker side thinks that his more confident side is an evil shapeshifter using a shiny coin to hypnotize people. Turns out Confident!Xander just found the coin at a construction site he was working at and thought it was cool.
  • Also in 'Helpless', Giles uses a crystal to hypnotise Buffy.
  • Used as a Bilingual Bonus joke in 'Touched'. Willow uses a spell to hypnotize a Harbringer — a mook for the Big Bad whose eyes have been sewn shut. According to the shooting script Willow is saying in Turkish while casting the spell, 'You are getting sleepy. Very, very sleepy. I do not have a pocket watch but then again, you do not have eyes.'
• In Vega$, a lady police hypnotist tries this, but Dan Tanna's assistant is already somewhat mesmerized by her breasts.
• In one episode of The Addams Family, Morticia tries to use her necklace on Uncle Fester, to which he responds, 'The only one who can hypnotize me is ME!'
• Doctor Who:
  • This is how the First Doctor mesmerises Dodo in 'The War Machines', only instead of using a pendulum he swings his hand with the ring on it back and forth in a similar motion.
  • The Sixth Doctor uses a silver medallion on his fob chain to calm a Technically Living Zombie trying to kill Peri in 'Revelation of the Daleks'.
  • Played for Laughs in 'The Ultimate Foe', the last episode of 'The Trial of a Time Lord.' The Master has a criminal named Sabalom Glitz in his grasp and is trying to hypnotize him with a pocketwatch. Glitz appears to be in a trance, but says that he's only wondering how much it cost the Master.

• In Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, Dr. Pickle uses a pickle-shaped pendulum to hypnotize his patients. Incidentally, his real name is Pickell.
• Molly Moon buys one from an antique shop in Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism, but earlier she uses her own: a spoon (while she's stirring soup) and a piece of soap on a string.
• Chester is implied to have been hypnotized by a clock pendulum in Bunnicula.
• In the Spongebob Squarepants book 'The Great Spongebobini', Spongebob tries to hypnotize Patrick into not being sick using a combination of this and Hypnotic Eyes. It doesn't work.

• The Psychic-type Pokémon Hypno wields a pendulum, swinging it back and forth to perform its psychic attacks.
• Kingdom of Loathing has the ultra-rare monster Hypnotist of Hey Deze, who specifically averts this trope in a Shout-Out to the They Might Be Giants example above:

• It's very common to use this in stage hypnosis. It is often referred to as 'eye-fixation' or 'fixed-gaze', which can also refer to a completely different and unrelated induction technique in hypnotherapy.
• It was once widely used in therapy too, but not anymore. Since one element of a successful induction is the expectation of entering trance, the familiarity of the trope can actually work to a hypnotist's advantage, but it's not really done since it's considered rather naff these days.
