Tomodachi Life

Yeah, I want to talk first about a game that I have been playing that I figured at some point this year I would be playing just because of the way that my daughter was talking and it finally happened.

I have been playing not a ton, but when my daughter will allow me, I've been playing some Tomodachi Life.

Tomodachi Life? Are you living the dream, Chris?

I am living the dream, Corey.

So my daughter has been wanting it forever.

Yeah, I did too.

I mean, she pulled one straight out of the Chris playbook, so I can't fault her for that.

But Tomodachi Life, if you remember, is the follow-up, not a sequel, but the next edition of Tomodachi Life, which originally came out on the 3DS.

But yeah,

I think prop playing, you're definitely covering more ground, but I do think there's something to being on the ground and up close and personal with a lot of the storefronts and the stuff in the city when you're on the skateboard, right? They really did put a lot of effort into making this a fleshed-out city, so much so to where it does kind of feel like maybe this is laying the groundwork for WooHoo showing up in more games, right? It'd be cool if Tomodachi Life, for instance, was set online.

on woohoo island right like how incredible would that be just to be able to kind of like have more than just your little patch of land you know make a whole sim style game with your me's or something like that or sim city style right like i could just see a lot of cool things coming out of this

i i'm glad you mentioned that because i was like flying around and i was like why did they do this? For Mario Kart World, it makes sense because they built this whole world that's interconnected and then all the races are based off of that world.

You can do everything you could in that game and more.

I think something that really is nice is that when you're playing against just generic CPUs, sometimes the Miis that you have in your console will show up, which is always, always a good time when you're suddenly boxing against your grandpa.

I wish that you could fucking export me's from Tomodachi life, man.

Because like, I only have three me's on my console and one of them is my ex and they keep popping up all the time and thumb wrestling.

Anyways, Splatoon Raiders comes in number seven with 5,400 weekly and 676,000 as far as total.

We have Tomodachi Life coming in at number eight with a weekly count of 5,300 copies and a total count of 1.6 million.

Goodness gracious, boy, that's insane.

And then you have Mario Kart World coming at number nine on the Nintendo platform with 4,600 as far as the weekly count and a total of 3 million copies.

But as far as the top 10 most played games on the Nintendo platform, you have Sully Land, Nursery Rhyme coming in at number 10.

You have Mario Kart World coming in at number 9.

Tomodachi Life coming in at number 8.

Splatoon Raiders coming in at number 7.

What do you got? What do you got for number nine?

Number nine, Tomodachi Life, Living the Dream.

And this is more so, I like it, but my son, my old youngest son, who's 18, loves it.

And so he, I would come down and he would just be playing.

He's made, you know, he's also really big into Warhammer.

So he'd have, you know, like the emperor of the universe hanging out with like Kanye West.

But yeah, Tomodachi Life games, that was actually the first, first job i did for ign was i did the guide for the 3ds game wow okay wait what was that like 2013 20 yeah 2014 but uh so i have a lot of uh fondness for the original the second one didn't or excuse me the newer one for switch dude or switch and switch to didn't grabbed me nearly as much as the original one did i think it's sort of uh the same with like the pokemon on switch having those games handheld where you can just have them sitting next to your bed There's a lot to be said for that.

So, yeah.

...

Tomodachi Life, I think has sold better [laughs] than, like, most PlayStation games.

Um-

Tomodachi Life was, I just checked, like, two weeks ago, still the top selling game in Japan.

And, and that will get nothing.

Like, it, it, it will-

Yeah.

They, they...

I really just want the Wi- I want the Miis to be given priority again.

Like look at how, look at how popular and viral Tomodachi Life was.

With all the creation there, with all the fun people were having making Walter White and making...

And having that deep level of customization.
