It holds an average of 72% and 71/100 on review aggregate sites GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively. Tomodachi Life has received positive reviews.
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.' Reception
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', and because it would require significant development alterations which would not be able to be released as a post-game patch.
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.
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.' 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.
This version does not unlock any features in the full game.įollowing the announcement of a worldwide release, controversy arose concerning the impossibility of same-sex relationships. A slightly different demo version was later publicly released for download via the Nintendo eShop. The game is bundled with two Nintendo eShop download codes for a 'Welcome version' demo, which can be given to friends. 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. They can even unlock a port, where they can give and 'trade' goods with other islands. As the game goes by, the player unlocks more stores, clothes, food, and places for the Miis to play. 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. 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.
The Miis are voiced by a text-to-speech software and have unique personalities. 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 player visits a married couple's house, where they can be seen playing with their baby.
