13 Trivia
In the Japanese version of Tomodachi Life, the Age-o-matic item worked differently, as it only temporarily turned a child Mii into an adult Mii. It is only permanent when used on child couples or mixed adult and child couples who want to marry, and the effect gets immediately cancelled when they divorce.
In the International versions of the game, this was changed so that the effect becomes permanent when used. Because of this, the Kid-o-matic item was created exclusively for the international versions as a way to reverse the effects of the Age-o-matic. (and allowing adult Miis to become children)

When a Mii gets a letter from someone asking them to go to the roof, one of the things that the Mii in disguise says is 'Our Princess is in another castle.', a clear reference to Super Mario Bros.
As Miis are able to play a Wii U, sounds from the Wii U games Nintendo Land and Game & Wario can be heard.
After the controversy involving the inability to have same gender relationships in 'Tomodachi Life', Nintendo later responded by saying that if the game were to get a sequel, same-sex relationships will most likely be included.
In the Japanese version of 'Tomodachi Life', between 8:00 pm and 12:00 pm, a married couple can sometimes be seen taking a bath together in their bathroom, sometimes with their child. This scene was removed from all localized versions of the game.
In the original Japanese release, the daily donations are collected in a wooden box, whereas in the western versions they're collected in a silver piggy bank.
##Nintendo## made a commercial using Tomodachi Life's Concert Hall feature to celebrate the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask coming to 3DS.
In the Japanese release there is an event that can be seen at the Fountain called 'Shiritori', in which a category will be chosen at the beginning of the game, such as general word association or food association. Two Miis will then come up with words which begins with the final kana of the previous word, and if either Mii repeats a word that has already been said, they will automatically lose.
The North American version of the game replaces this event with one called 'Rap Battle', in which two Miis try to insult each other in rhymes until one of them cannot come up with a rhyme.
The European versions not only contain the 'Rap Battle' event, but also an English version of the 'Shiritori' event called ' Word Chain', where instead of coming up with words that begins with the final kana of the previous word, two Miis have to come up with words that begin with the letter that the previous word ended with.
The Plane (Nintendo 3DS Image Share) and the Observation Tower were created exclusively for the International release of the game, with the Observation Tower serving the role originally used by the Mii Apartments rooftop in the Japanese release.

The Japanese version of the game features shop keepers with Kabuki stage hand (Kuroko) masks, in the American version they have wooden block heads, in the European versions they have robot heads, and in the Korean version they are wearing a yellow racing helmet.
The music that plays in the Café area are the songs that Miis can learn in the Japan-only Nintendo DS installment 'Tomodachi Collection'. In the Japanese version of the game, lyrics (taken directly from 'Tomodachi Collection') can be heard during each song. In the international versions of the game, the instrumentals for each song were kept, but lyrics were removed.
Before the game was released internationally, many international players thought that a patch in the Japanese version fixed a glitch that had unintentionally made gay marriages possible for Miis, causing fans to complain about this feature being removed, while in actuality, Nintendo was simply fixing a data transfer issue that corrupted save data and prevented people from progressing after they transferred Mii characters from the Japan-only Nintendo DS installment 'Tomodachi Collection'.
Gay marriages are able to be performed in Tomodachi Life due to the ability to create Miis that have the appearance of Miis of the opposite gender. While many have complained of the inability to have same gender relationships in Tomodachi Life, Nintendo has refrained from including the feature, explaining that the game is not to be looked at as though it is a 'simulation' of real life.
In the Japanese version of the game, there are only 6 genres of music that Miis can sing: Rock & Roll, Pop, Enka (Japanese traditional song), Opera, Heavy Metal and Rap. The International versions of the game removed the Enka genre while and adding 3 more: Ballad, Techno and Musical.

Tomodachi Collection[a] is a life simulation video game for the Nintendo DS, released exclusively in Japan on June 18, 2009. A sequel, Tomodachi Life, was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on April 18, 2013, and in North America and Europe on June 6, 2014.

Gameplay[edit]

The cast consists entirely of Miis. Players can transfer Miis directly from their Wii console to their Nintendo DS or create new ones using the in-game Mii Maker. The player can choose the personalities of the Miis with up to 16 combinations of personalities. The player then helps their Miis with their problems, such as making friends and performing everyday tasks, as well as giving them clothes, food, and special items to help them gain experience. The Miis can interact with each-other in relationships such as friendships. When a Mii gains enough experience, they level up and collect rewards. New areas and shops are unlocked on the island by playing the game and meeting various conditions, such as the Question Hall, where you can ask your Miis anything as well as making them vote on a certain choice.

Development[edit]

Tomodachi Life Enka Lyrics

Because the Nintendo DS didn't have Miis in the first Nintendo DS Games (Miis were released on November 19, 2006 on the Wii), the Miis were be shown in various Wii games like Wii Play, Wii Sports, Wii Music and most other games. Miis first appeared on the DS two years later in 2008, in Personal Trainer: Walking, and this game was released in 2009, one year later, only in Japan on June 18, 2009. This game were released only in Japan, but the first was translated on November 9, 2013, in American English by jjjewel, a US English fan.[citation needed]

The game was developed by a small, young team at Nintendo SPD Group No.1 with Yoshio Sakamoto as a producer. According to an interview, it was originally titled Otona no Onna no Uranai Techou (大人のオンナの占い手帳, lit.'Fortune-telling Notebook for Adult Women') and only featured female characters. A western release was considered, according to an interview with Gamekult.fr, however, issues with localizing the vocal synthesizer software to handle English words (which were resolved in Tomodachi Life) caused the release to be cancelled. However, a ROM created in 2013 by jjjewel exists, which translates the game's text into English but retains the original Japanese voices. Other unfinished changes include the fact that some of Mii News is still in Japanese (like the logo in the top screen while there is news) and other small parts in-game. The Songs' default lyrics are partly in Japanese and partly in English.

There is a function only found in the Japanese version of Tomodachi Life that allows you to call the Mii from the Tomodachi Collection, and you can copy and transfer the Miis onto the 3DS, but the newly created Miis are added in the Mii Studio. It is not possible to send the Mii to the Tomodachi Collection from Mii Maker.
