In this 21st volume of Ask the Developer, an interview series in which developers convey in their own words Nintendo’s thoughts about creating products and the unusual details they hone in on, we’re talking to the developers behind Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a Nintendo Switch game that launches on Thursday, April 16th, 2026.
I don’t think it was a good idea to release Pokopia and Tomodachi Life so close to each other. I guess they are different enough for people who care deeply about these, but for me they scratch the same itch, and with still tons of stuff left to do in Pokopia, I doubt I’ll be getting it anytime soon.
Hope it’s good though, will get to it after Pokopia.
Pokopia is a Switch 2 exclusive while Tomodachi Life isn’t. I would’ve been down to play both but Nintendo still hasn’t given me much reason to buy a 2 yet
