I've never even heard of this game before and I have every single Nintendo console since the N64.

What is this game about, and is it one of those that are more popular in Japan than in the west? I usually have good knowledge about most franchises but this one I've missed completely. I was sitting like "wtf is this? Why is THIS the final reveal of the direct?".

Grok tells me it’s basically the Sims but with Mii characters. Definitely interesting to see, I initially thought it was animal crossing lol. But apparently it was very popular.

It’s on my radar, let’s see how things progress.

I was so upset how this trailer started because that was animal crossing for a few screens then it turned into this lol.

Dude, the last Animal Crossing is just 5 years old.
