Nintendo has published a Japanese FAQ for the upcoming Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, providing official answers to several key questions that have circulated among fans. The game is scheduled for release on April 16, 2026, with a free demo currently available on the eShop. This official information clarifies details about the 70 Mii limit, Nintendo Switch 2 compatibility, and several other gameplay features.
The FAQ officially confirms a detail discovered by data miners in the demo: each island is limited to a maximum of 70 Miis. Regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, the game will be playable on the new hardware but will not support its specific Handheld Mode Boost function. Instead, when played in handheld mode on the Switch 2, the title will run at a fixed 1080p resolution, regardless of whether the boost setting is enabled. Nintendo has also stated the game does not support the Joy-Con 2 mouse function. While the FAQ notes gameplay benefits like reduced loading times on the Switch 2, it does not specify any performance enhancements for docked mode.
Several other interesting details were clarified. The game offers inclusive options for character relationships; players can set a Mii’s gender as male, female, or other, and can choose romantic partners from any of these categories. Furthermore, married couples can have babies regardless of their gender. On the topic of sharing content, Nintendo explicitly condones posting images and videos from the game on social media, provided users follow the company’s copyright guidelines. This is notable given the game’s own internal restrictions on directly sharing screenshots and clips through console functions.
The FAQ also addresses save data and Mii transfer. Save data and islands are unique to each user profile on a console, with each profile limited to one save file. While players can create new island residents based on Mii faces stored on their Switch or Switch 2 system, direct Mii import from other software like Miitopia is not supported. Conversely, Miis created within Tomodachi Life cannot be exported to the system or other games.
