Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream is nearly upon us, but Nintendo has already given its ravenous fans a demo with robust character-creation tools that allows them to make and carry their creations over into the full release. That being the case, players have already made tremendous use of the demo’s character creator, making both gorgeous and grotesque Miis as they recreate celebrities, fictional characters, and maybe even a secret third thing.
Sharing these creations hasn’t been as easy as you’d expect, thanks to Nintendo’s anti-image-sharing policy that stands to hamper Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream’s reach online. Though players can typically use the share button on their Nintendo Switch system to post images or video to social media with relative ease, the company is cracking down on this function over worries that Tomodachi Life’s lax filters–allowing characters to be called some decidedly NSFW terms, which the Miis then say aloud–will enable players to share material that could erode the “fun and safe” online environment it is trying to cultivate.
Despite this, folks have been sharing their creations to the best of their ability. In perhaps the most obvious move, many players have immediately taken to making characters from other Nintendo games. We’ve got our Marios, Bowsers, and other favorites present. Astonishingly, one person even recreated their own Animal Crossing villager as opposed to the generic one. Like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate promises, everyone is here.
It’s exciting to see how enthusiastic fans are about the character creator in Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream! The creativity and fun that come from customizing characters really add to the game’s charm. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
