THE TOMODACHI LIFE DIRECT IS TOMORROW, JANUARY 29TH,

so I decided to make some guesses about what might be coming.

My guesses of what is coming (or should be coming) to the new Tomodachi Life game:

Same-sex relationships (Nintendo already said in a “future Tomodachi game” they would add same-sex relationships and the trailer had a possible couple hanging out)

Makeup similar to Miitopia

Freedom to do much more than the original Tomodachi Life

Use amiibos (in a similar way to Animal Crossing)

Comes out in April-May 2026 possibly

A BETTER WAY OF SHARING MIIS/ISLANDERS! I would love for it to be like Check Mii Out

Making custom songs for the stage (if there is one) instead of using premade ones

More freedom to customize voice settings without islanders sounding like either Darth Vader or Usagi all the time

Non-binary representation

And more cool stuff!

I still can’t wait for the game to come out, even with the direct being tomorrow! Anyways, that’s it for now.

Mother 3 post

It's one of my favorite RPGs for the story, combat system, and one of my favorites for sprite aesthetics-- but I understand why Mother 3 wasn't released for western audiences.  It could be because the story is based on a small island culture like Japan, and the setting could possibly not make sense to  people who don't (like mainland Americans).  If that assumption is correct, it could also be SINCE the setting is so similar to Japan and is 'invaded' by a corrupt society of 'pig-like' people who are so farther advanced in technology might reflect  a culture similar to the US.  It doesn’t stop me from enjoying it, in fact it deepens it for me.  However, it isn’t always about the consumer, as this game is a labor of love.  So if western culture was the parallel to the antagonists of the game and if Japan is a parallel to Tazmily, it would be no surprise why there was no western release.

I could gush about this game about so much.  Game design, themes, inclusion, pacing, attention to detail, it really has it all.  I’ll make an entry about all of these things in the near future (with pictures).

I beat 100% of Shante and the Pirate’s Curse, and after reading about how the creators said the world needs characters like Shante I absolutely agree.  There is something about making a good-hearted, plucky, tomboyish (yet visually feminine) character that made for a memorable platform experience.

Playing the other games in this series would be a wish I hope to fulfill without rubbing a lamp :b

Mad props to Nintendo EAD for not making all the levels in the last world of Super Mario 3D World all be brown and orange and boring and a fucking drag because of it.
