this game is entirely carried by its mii creator in my opinion. the decision to remove text to speech from tomodachi life was an interesting one but i feel like it makes the game less interesting. creating/borrowing different miis is fun and building out the world but the game definitely gets repetitive as it moves on and you start to see a lot of the same events multiple times. the mii creator in this switch port is amazing though and the best mii creator nintendo has ever made.
I'm choosing to review the Switch version even though I've only played the original to completion, as this is the version most people know of and talk about. For the fantastic additions to customization this version adds, it's balanced out by an online service that I refuse to pay for, so the score stays the same.
Playing this game for the first time was one of the fondest memories I have with a video game, I'd waited weeks for it to arrive in the mail and when it finally arrived in the mailbox I screamed. Popped it straight into my 3DS and had a blast from start to finish, this is the goofiest game I've ever played and it does its absolute best with that goofiness.
I'm a big fan of Tomodachi Life as well, but attaching a goal to that same creative freedom elevates it to a whole 'nother level in my opinion. I love how independently the characters act, it feels like you're an onlooker witnessing something rather than a puppeteer, which lends the game a really original and interesting feel.
The sense of community around the game, both through the many recurring random characters in the original, and people sharing their creations online for the Switch version, is also super wholesome. Overall, one of my favorite games of all time.

Miitopia silly miitopia funny miitopia has a pretty fun story with easy to grasp rpg mechanics that make it a great introduction to rpg games. The enemies will make you cringe, but the music is a blast and Steve Harvey can play the role of the Dark Lord. The custom creator is great and really improves on the 3ds version. If only it had streetpass, it'd be perfect.
