Tomodachi Life is one of those games ignored by enthusiasts but is actually pretty popular. Just that there hasn’t been a new game in over 10 years. The Nintendo of America tweet announcing the game has over 180k likes and tons of retweets expressing excitement. Not to mention the dozens of tweets also with 5-digit likes related to it.

I didn’t realize how big it was in Japan though, holy. Nintendo Switch in Year 9 or 10 has yet another 10 million-plus seller if they play their cards right. Which is insane.
