Nintendo Selects: Tomodachi Life, Nintendo 3DS

Doesn’t work!

Mi hijo tiene 7 años. Por lo regular con otros juegos se enoja y se frustra mucho cuando pierde, pero TOMODACHI LIFE me gusto porque es un concepto diferente.

It's hard to describe this game, but it's kind of like The Sims + Tamagotchi, except there's no house building, you have humans to take care of, and the graphics are far more cartoony. Although there aren't any real goals here. It's even more casual than The Sims. You don't get punished for anything. Nobody gets hurt. You're just focused on your characters, and you have to help them out when they need help. It's just a fun, little, relaxing game.Here's a list of some of the things you can do:- Make numerous characters, and have them live in an apartment on an island. As you add more residents, the building gets bigger, and expands. Eventually, your characters will get into relationships, with one another, and they will have babies, and move out into their own houses.- You can feed your characters food.- You can play mini games with your characters.- You can buy clothes, and accessories for your characters.- You can watch the news, which have funny stories about your characters.- Your characters talk to you, and you can (non-verbally) answer back to them.- Your characters have little problems, and you have to help them. Sometimes they will get sick, or get into fights with other characters. You have to give a helping hand.- Some of your characters will visit th park, beach, of amusement park, and you can watch them play.- You can give your characters different themese for their apartments, and they can collect items. Some items you can play with but most of them don't do anything, and are just sold off to make money.- The characters you create have different personalties, but overall they're all alike.- One really fun aspect of this game is you can write songs, and your characters will perform them. The voices are robotic-sounding, but they still sing.And that's most of it. But this game is not really meant to be played alone. You're supposed to leave street pass on, and exchange items with people, and meet strangers. It's good fun!

This is a simulation game. You suddenly become the landlord of Mii apartments. Miis (your creations and one that represents you) will inhabit your (insert name) island. The Miis will live their lives, become friends, argue with each other, fall in love, have families, and play mini-games with you. You buy food, clothes, and interiors for your renters and give it to them to make them happy. Their happiness is measured by a gauge. There is no real end goal, so it’s up to you by how much you invest in the characters. That is the basis of the game and it is freaking fun!The game runs seamlessly without any lag. The graphics are decent. Not top-notch but to be expected. They are Miis after all. The Miis speak only in English and they tend to sound a little robotic. (No matter how much you customized their voices.) However, no complaints from me since it is nice that everything is vocalized. This is a clean game. There is no kissing. So it’s perfect for young children to play. There is 3D functionality but pretty useless.There is only one con. What I regret is that I came to this game too late. Not a lot of people play anymore and I can’t get as many travelers or move my travelers along. Plus, I missed out on a lot of special items. So, this is the true negative to the game. A minor complaint would be the limited amount of a 100 Miis. As a result, having children becomes limited and having them travel is impossible since there aren’t places for them to go nowadays. If there was a function like Pokemon where you can transfer Miis on-line, it would make things a lot easier.I’m addicted. I have played this game non-stop the moment I got it and it is always my go-to game when I’m on the go. I enjoy making relationships and breaking the ones I don’t want. I have fun trying to find their favorite foods and making them happy. I feel omnipotent. The Miis can get divorce and break-up, so save often. I have been lucky that all my couples are happily marry despite arguments. Get this game. I’m a puzzle/platform/RPG gamer and I love this game. I’m going to be sad to put this game when I finally married everyone off. But I have spent over 80+ hours on this game and I have no regrets. Definitely a 5 star game.

A game doesn't have to be action packed or grand to deliver a satisfying experience. Surprisingly, this game express joy through silly day to day tasks while you watch over your residents as though you are their divine entity that they answer to. The more Miis you have, the more features unlocks. This could be something as simple as items and completing activities, to helping them make friends, resolve conflict, and raise families.The best part about the Miis is they could be anyone you want, be it loved ones, enemies, famous people, favorite characters, or original characters (OC) and you can sit back and watch as these random people from different backgrounds interact with each other and get into all sorts of wacky shenanigans. They could form friendships or get into fights or stir drama over their crushes and in some cases may even get divorced.It may get repetitive for some after some time; this is a game that can be satisfied in small doses.Personally though, I would sometime spend hours taking care of my islanders and observing the bizarre nonsense they get themselves into. The Miis are surprisingly enduring, and there are tons of collectables that you can buy each day.It surprised me how much I actually liked Tomodachi Life, considering I usually prefer more exciting adventures like The Legend of Zelda. Sometimes its just plesent to have a casual game where you can relax and laugh once in a while!

A fun, slice of life type of game with a funny, wacky sense of humor in a community and characters that you create yourself. Very customizable characters, you can marry and have children in this game as well. They have different likes and dislikes and can have different interactions with other characters. It's really fun to watch over them and decide their fates. I spent many hours playing this game and really enjoyed it.
