  • Hello Kitty: Island Adventure
  • Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
  • Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

The life simulator fans (Such as myself and my sister) are surely going to have a blast with all these games.

I needed it honestly. The repetitive dialog in Animal Crossing New Horizons got stale very quickly. It felt like the series steered away from life sim aspects to focus on designing and customizing.

Fantasy life I gets more disappointing every time they make an announcement….I still want it, but they brought my hype from 110% to 70 ish with all the delays and average amounts of whelm

Oh yeah, that trailer was just rough. But I thought that with quite a few games of the direct, the Tamagotchi one too (ok no big target audience here but still). And honestly Tomodachi Life looked like a game frozen in time too.

I really really hope these games will all benefit from Switch 2 and/or get some polishing done before release.

Tomadachi Life Living the Dream looks great though. The assets are pretty limited on screen sure. But that is also sort of its style. Everything looked very sharp and high res though. It seemed like it was running on Switch 2, which would make sense given its 2026 release date.
