Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream continues the legacy of the life-simulation series that revolves around Nintendo's digital avatars residing on an island. The series began with Tomodachi Collection, launched exclusively in Japan in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, selling over 100,000 copies in its debut week. Its successor, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, released on the 3DS in Japan in 2013, achieved sales of over 6.7 million copies, becoming one of the 3DS's top-selling titles. This game was later adapted for the Western market as Tomodachi Life in 2014.
According to Nintendo, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream allows players to "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!"

The reveal trailer for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has sparked significant interest among fans, who eagerly dissected the video to uncover new features. The trailer teases a rich array of content, including customizable Mii characters, familiar island settings, and dynamic Mii interactions. However, the addition of ears to Mii characters has become a focal point of discussion.
This change has generated a flurry of comments across social media platforms. On Twitter (X), one user expressed hope that this feature would be incorporated into the Mii character creation for the Switch 2.
