Tomodachi Paradise

= A SEQUEL TO TOMODACHI LIFE =

Tomodachi Paradise is the third game in Nintendo's Tomodachi series. Developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, Noriyuki Sato, Ryutaro Takahashi and Eisaku Nakae, the game was released on Steam for free and on the Nintendo Switch. A sequel to Tomodachi Life, it was released on February 29, 2025 across the world.

The game was highly acclaimed by critics and fans, with praise directed at its more customizable features, mini-games, the fun nature of the game and the gameplay. The release on Steam was also highly received. It has since been regarded as one of the best games ever made.

Gameplay
The game begins with the player naming their island and creating or importing their personal Mii, who is referred to as the player's "look-alike" and lives in an apartment building. Once giving the player's "look-alike" food to eat, they will ask for a friend. After creating another Mii for them, a short video will play set in the future showing the "look-alike"'s possible future spouse and baby, whose faces are hidden. Afterward, the Town Hall will open, giving access to create more Miis.

The Miis are voiced by a Nuance-based text-to-speech software and can have unique personalities. Miis can perform various actions, such as eating, trying on different outfits, and engaging in many leisure activities. As more Miis are added to the island, many strange and curious interactions can occur between them, such as friendship, romance, conflicts, and even social events. As the game goes by, the player unlocks more locations, clothes, food, and other things for the Miis to interact with. The game credits will play once your Mii and Mii's spouse can successfully raise a child to an adult, where it will play the credits and give you a gift for your island.
