Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the latest entry in the beloved life-simulation series, where Nintendo's digital avatars, known as Miis, live and interact on a vibrant island. The franchise began with Tomodachi Collection, released exclusively in Japan in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, which sold over 100,000 copies in its debut week. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, launched on the 3DS in Japan in 2013 and achieved sales of over 6.7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games on the platform. This game was later brought to Western markets in 2014 under the name Tomodachi Life.

Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where players can "Create your own Mii characters based on yourself, friends, family – anyone! – and watch them live their lives on an island out at sea. Get involved with their relationships and experience all the weird and wonderful ways these Mii characters interact. You may even drop in on their dreams!"
