Over 10 years later, Tomodachi Life fans find relief for their long suffering with a sequel, Living the Dream, which might feature long-requested queer romance

At long last, silly life sim Tomodachi Life is finally getting a sequel on Nintendo Switch with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, ending what’s been, for some, a 12-year drought without a new entry in the series.

Tomodachi Life is not only one of the strangest games on the 3DS, but also one of the best. While it first hit Japan in 2013 as a sequel to the Japan-only DS game, Tomodachi Collection, it arrived overseas a year later, allowing fans to fill an island with their own Miis – complete with customizable personalities and voices – and watch their relationships flourish (or go up in flames), figure out their likes and dislikes, and take parts in things like events. You can make Miis perform custom songs in the concert hall, peer into their weird dreams, or give them food so tasty they blast into space.
