I started playing Tomodachi Life, the Mii sim from the 3DS, again. I love the game’s wacky humor and neat things you can do. And I started to think: what if Nintendo did a sequel for the Nintendo Switch? What would Tomodachi Life be like on Switch? Here are some ideas from me! Tomodachi Land is another installment to Tomodachi Life. There are new features on this game and it's on a new system. It will be released on November 2034. A new mode is called Jealous Mode A Psychic Fortunate Teller is added An adoption or stepfamiliy Miis is added There will be more jobs.

I love Tomodachi Life. I love the Nintendo Switch.

Tomodachi Life is a game I play on a daily basis, and when it was announced last decade, my sister and I fell in love with it. The concept, that is.

The game was designed with long playability in mind, but there isn’t enough to keep a player’s attention. That’s why I’m writing this.

I want a new Tomodachi Life – one with so much more. One that lives up to its hype long after the release date. It comes down, not only to features, but to the basic structure.

This article is about the Create Mii section alone. There’s a lot that can be improved from the older model.

Physical Attributes

We’re all familiar with the basic Mii Maker, but even that’s been expanded on in MiiTopia. This I loved! It’s the addition of more hair and eye colours. Players put anime characters in their game, and it sure beats using the hair colour spray every time your mii takes a bath.

New selections in hair and face would be nice, too. I don’t know how many more facial features we could add, but it sounds cool.

The height sliders could use work, comparing to other miis as you adjust.

Interests + Careers?

The personality grid is fine on its own, but I’d like more. The favourite food list is a nice touch, but some control would make it more interesting. This should be optional, of course, to keep the randomness.

There’s also the case of hobbies. To have unique interests can shake things up, not only with diversity, but how the miis interact with each other. One hobby might clash with another in social aspects, so to speak. It makes things easier down the line. (Please let there be fortune telling)

So far, miis can have part time jobs. This should stay the default job, but a goal would be excellent. If you don’t give your mii a goal, they might come up with their own, or you can generate a suggestion.

Tomodachi Life 2 Switch

I’ll talk more of island life in another post. In the meantime, I’d like to hear what other people think and their own suggestions.
