Gameplay[]

The game takes place on a rectangular island that you can name, and you look after the life of the Miis you and other players created. You can feed them, give them clothes, find them a love, gifts, songs and even phrases to say. The gameplay is very similar to the likes of Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life. The Miis are given a voice made from vocal synthesizer software, and a personality that affects how they interact with the rest of the Miis.

Differences from Tomodachi Life[]

  • Instead of your look-alike Mii being a regular acquaintance of the Mii Apartment, they are the ruler of the realm (island), although being treated no different than the other Miis treat each other.
  • A Mii may feel more emotions than in the previous games. These new Emotions are Anger, Jealousy and Fear.
  • Depending on how badly you treat your Miis, they can get sad or angry, while kid Miis are most likely to get sad, Adult Miis are most likely to feel angry.
  • The Mii apartments are no confined to a small place, and Miis can now walk around the entire room, using the whole space.
  • All gifts are either physically seen put away, hung up, or folded up when not in use, except for the Pet coupons, which are always active even when the Mii is not in the apartment.
  • You can now edit the pronunciations of phrases and song lyrics.
  • There is no longer an Observation Tower, however the Survey Skyscraper appears in its place.
  • The Train Station is an accessible area, other than appearing in a few scenes.
  • Couples can have twins and triplets, although the chance of them is random.
  • You can set how the Miis are related to other Miis, compared to only setting how they were related to the player.
  • Updated Mii messages to exactly what Miis are doing (IE: Having a fight at <Mii Name>'s apartment) instead of the casual hanging out message.
  • The Frying Pan is no longer a good, but a Level-Up gift.
  • If a Mii still hasn't filled out all of their phrases, you can create one when they level up, compared to only making a catch-phrase.
  • With the addition of adopting pets, they can be named and the style of colour can be customized.
  • The number of characters for phrases has been increased to 35 characters.
  • You can mix outfits with one another, keeping a hat of a costume while keeping the body of another.
  • You can sell goods, clothing and interiors that you don't want, as well as treasures.
