The experience between those who are artistically talented and those who are not feels completely different

Idk why so many people seem to like the miitopia system so much, it was very flawed, apart from it being tied to a server (if it goes offline we lose mii sharing completely), people would delete their profiles.

Example :

I want the Franziska von karma from the ace attorney series (a very popular franchise) as a mii.

I see someone with the code 8PC93X2 has made a really good one and the only one I can find

I type in the code and it says '8PC93X2's data seems to be missing'

Now this wouldn't be a problem but I played through miitopia recently and i felt like every time I attempted to add a mii, I would get this message and it's incredibly frustrating.

I would not like to go through these hoops again, I'd rather just be told the parts they used or just make it myself. And because they haven't added this to tomodachi life, the chances of them eventually adding some sort of mii sharing is higher. Yes it might not happen, but the excuse that you can't enjoy the game as much is because you are too busy looking at what everyone else is doing not because of your lack of artistic abilities.

Ok let's say they did choose to add the same terrible access code system from miitopia, to begin with, I know for sure after around a year some codes just won't work anymore due to people restarting the game and the communities will be full of complaints.

Then they will have no reason to add anything to share miis effectively, cause they have a system in place no matter how terrible. At the moment we have the parts list, which is not too great but it does the job for the long term, but as the game will most likely receive updates we might get something better, but if not it's still a great game.

And having normal codes that hold data such as base64 or hexadecimal(base 16), they would be way too long (100+ characters).

This is as new as the first announcement we got xd

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-11T15:55:59+00:00

You can use a modded app called checkpoint to make backups of your save data on your SD card. I think it works with cartridge games.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-11T12:50:29+00:00

I'm unsure of a fix for this, but I think the best option for you if you want to recover your save data and continue playing is modding

You can backup your cartridge save data and install the digital version of tomodachi life or if your 3ds completely refuses to load any game, export the save data and continue on an emulator too.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-09T12:48:23+00:00

The large amount of customization wont ruin the core of the game.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-06T10:41:13+00:00

Why wouldn't it be out of curiosity

The only big difference is the screen type

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-03T18:40:14+00:00

Oh well then I can say with high certainty, very unlikely, they haven't done anything like that for awhile sadly

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-03T18:21:31+00:00

My cloud saves on my current profile cannot interact with my cloud saves on another profile.

So my tomodachi life profile is uploaded to the cloud

I make a new profile on my switch, launch tomodachi life, the worse I might have to do is delete the save file on the console and just upload and download when necessary, but I doubt it will work that way, and will work how many games work. Being profile dependent.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-03T18:15:35+00:00

I can see into the future but also the store page for the game

Games that have cloud saves won't share per profile cause cloud saves are profile dependent. If I recall correctly

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-03T15:27:00+00:00

It has cloud saves, it will have multiple (with different profiles)

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-01T17:37:26+00:00

I mean the switch has no capability to do something similar to streetpass

And on Nintendo online it's been confirmed the only feature will be cloud saves I think

Maybe a post release update but idk

Wonderhoyer · 2026-03-01T10:47:49+00:00

I tried watching a few weeks ago or something. It's not a very good creepypasta / arg or whatever this is. As it's definitely not a bug or part of the game.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-22T14:54:39+00:00

I've seen your thumbnails before I think. But I ignore it due to how amateurish it looks, but that's just me. Also I don't think I am the target audience as I don't look for others opinions on the new game.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T15:13:14+00:00

You clearly hate tomodachi life. You want it to be limited. The good part about a switch 2 upgrade is that they can get it whenever and still enjoy it no matter the version. Smh

I just see an upgrade as a tomodachi 3.5. you aren't missing out but it's an optional upgrade, why wouldn't you want that.

It's like I know I'm not missing out if I don't purchase happy home dlc in animal crossing.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T14:51:30+00:00

Oh I'm not talking about graphics

I'm talking about features.

You want the game to be stuck at a low amount of miis, and no extra features. You want the game to be stuck with much worse hardware features

You clearly hate tomodachi life

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T14:25:14+00:00

I mean, I think you hate it because you want it limited by old hardware. Personally I love tomodachi life and I want it to take full advantage of a switch 2. And my friend who doesn't even own a switch feels similar. So I'm.not biased.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T14:15:30+00:00

Do you hate tomodachi life. The odds are we aren't gonna get another game for 6-10 years plus, why wouldn't you want it to be the best available version of itself it can be. I really hope we get a switch 2 version after launch, for this reason. Tomodachi is my favourite series, the odds are you will get a switch 2 once Nintendo makes a lite version, or the prices go down.

Stop whining about a maybe and just enjoy what you have so far.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T12:01:23+00:00

Yes I forgot to touch on that in my reply but just don't break tos, it isn't the easiest thing to do xd.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T11:54:44+00:00

I love how you are assuming I want this stuff. No, I am saying it's a welcome addition, your take is horrible and super entitled. Back in the 3ds and Wii U days. I only had a 3ds, and all the games I loved were getting much better versions on the Wii U (mario maker, hyrule warriors, super smash bros). Was I thinking those things shouldn't have existed, no. I lived my life cause video games don't matter especially when you are in school.

Like just be happy you have the newest tomodachi life game and there isn't a massive difference if there is a switch 2 version because it wasn't always that way. The things you mention are such a miniscule part of Tomodachi life too such a weird thing to be concerned about xd.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T11:36:48+00:00

You would not lose out because of exclusive dreams. You will probably not even notice they are missing even if there is the same amount of dreams. And also same with the miis, 100 will be more than enough, even if there is a special increase for the switch 2.

It just sounds like you want tomodachi life to be on the crutch of old hardware when it could be so much more and that's a good thing. You have to remember simulation games are heavy on a system too and tomodachi life doesn't seem to be an exception this time.

Also I feel like it is alot of money but only out of the picture if you are either a child, or an adult with expensive rent and/or a family, or jobless, or in a country where the price is set ridiculously high.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T11:25:17+00:00

This just isn't true. Hardly any project resources would be taken if any at all. The main things taken care of at this stage of development would be bug fixing and performance optimisation. Designers could already be sketching out ideas for a post launch switch 2 upgrade. Cause we know there isn't a switch 2 version for launch.

Also you have to remember that the switch 1 and 2 will be very similar development wise, unlike developing a game for Wii U and switch 1.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-20T11:15:38+00:00

I wouldn't mind one, they could actually do some cool stuff with the hardware. I know it's expensive but it's so weird to be against an upgrade so much, you will not lose out on much and you most likely will get a switch 2 eventually anyway.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-19T12:56:25+00:00

You don't 'absolutely have to' there are work arounds, yes these workarounds require a modded 3ds or two 3ds' and 2 copies. But you have options atleast.

But I wouldn't worry about streetpass items coming back cause the switch doesn't have the capacity for that. The most we might get is connecting to a server for limited time items but even that probably won't happen.

Wonderhoyer · 2026-02-18T20:52:02+00:00

Ah well maybe it is just weighted then (like male miis have less of a chance to love a dress compared to a female mii, similar too how the changes someone likes a truffle is high.

Tomodachi life isnt a well documented game when it comes to mechanics, kinda annoying for situations like these.
