I'm working on a new Tomodachi video, but for those of you who want more Tomodachi stuff, feel free to check out Webtomo, a blog that I'm currently working on! I have regular updates planned, so be sure to keep an eye out! webtomo.tumblr.com/
I remember hearing that the devs were apologetic about not adding homosexuality as a feature and it had slipped their mind, that they might implement it in the future. Though this was the Japanese devs, not the American translators that got rid of the drag queen subtext of Gracie
I have seen that the bread with red haricots are exclusive to japan but i'm european and i have it ! In Special Food... So make a category Special Food if you can
@Red Diamond yea, and I also think that there will be a new shop or item that you use to give your miis make-up, rather than it litterally be imbedded into there face
I'm using EU French so the text might be some what different but I can agree that the text is a lot more formal, which I honestly found really funny because it can be like that in the weirdest moments.
At least we have word chains. The rap battles kinda suck and I have no idea why they changed the words in it. Also the foods are more british and less european
I wish Nintendo would stop abandoning things involving Miis such as Miitomo and Miiverse. You did a lovely job on this video, too. I hope you garner way more views soon.
I think they will, since this game was way more popular than Miitopia, and they probably did that so Miitopia would gain more popularity by porting it first
I actually was never aware that Tomodachi Life was popular when I was younger. Nobody I knew who played video games never talked about it at all. They would just talk about GTA, Halo, Sonic, Kirby, Pokémon, etc. and I really liked the game, so it's pretty satisfying to see plenty of gameplays and videos of it now and still being talked about today.
i actually got to know the game trough youtube.. i believe it was someone from the Yogscast that played it on their channel and that made me fall in love with the game.. i got it not too long after and had a banging time with it
One thing I have noticed is that even though same sex couples are not an option, in the American version with the girls talk sessions at the cafe, female miis can be observed admitting to having crushes on other females, although this never actually leads to a confession or affects gameplay.
@@SampelMSM Actually the age of consent in japan is not 13!! Each area can set their own age of consent but the minimum is 13. If im remembering correctly its most commonly 18. . Only two small areas in japan have the age of consent as 13, and nobody lives in them. I literally mean nobody population 0 for both of them.
@@Sku77k1d This isn't true at all. Many prefectures allow it with parental consent. This is so that it can be judged as a "sincere romantic relationship" and not some sudden whim or act of delinquency. There are many Japanese supreme court documents that place that into legal precedence.

Hi, I play the Korean version of Tomodachi Life, and though I'm pretty late, I thought people might appreciate a couple fun facts! :) Exclusive to the Korean version, Miis can request to go on blind dates, similar to a set-up performed by another Mii. If the blind date is successful, the two Miis will begin dating. There are several traditional Japanese and Korean dresses and outfits present that are not in localised versions. Also, there's a pretty scanty bunny dress in the Korean version, so... The ninja dream is changed slightly, with the Mii usually wearing the ninja costume being slightly different, as well as the interior. I'm not sure if you can see this news report in localised versions, since I haven't before, but there's a report in which giant cats come and visit your island late at night, passing out bags of 'catnip'. Also, all of the Miis in the report are wearing cat suits. That's all I remember! I haven't played the game since 2016, when Miitopia came out, though.
It’s a shame that Miitomo is gone. I really enjoyed it because my mii looked awesome and I could decorate my room with a poster of what I wanted. Not only that it was also a nice way to talk with friends.
8:29 Just to clarify from the slightly unclear wording, Word Chain and Rap Battle do both appear in the European version, at least for the UK release although I'm 99% sure it is for the rest of Europe too. Great video!
@@HBKnowItAll the day I found out about it I happened to find it in the store opening my copy of the game looking for regional clothing. It happened to be perfect coincidence in that moment
A lot of the changes to avoid cross dressing seemed a bit pointless to me since you can just make them cross dress yourself. 😭 Also very interesting about Kuroku being stage hands, makes you consider the wider implications that might have for the story of the game...
Only bad thing is that they usually always dislike the item if it's for the opposite gender. I've had this problem with me putting a female Mii, who I was trying to make appear male so I could have a gay couple in my game, in male clothing. They always hated it.
@@b3nt079 i have this problem too, but surprisingly i've got an odd one out who loves opposite-gender clothing. unfortunately, this is not one of my gay miis, lol she's a female mii who hates feminine clothes, but loves masculine clothes ("she loves it!" "she really likes it!" when given men's jackets and shirts. good for her tbh)
Took me a year but that’s entirely bc I wrote the script last year and gave up right up until the past week where I basically redid everything and then put this out. It definitely helped most of it was on the wiki tho!
absolutely absurd that they let you date KIDS (and married people in the japanese version) but not adults of the same gender. also with other details, tomodachi life really said no homo at literally every opportunity
It’s honestly such a bizarre decision but I guess maybe they somehow thought the homophobia would be more severe than the response to pedophilia existing
Even now, in games like the Story of Seasons series, same sex relationships are called "best friends" in the Japanese version Thankfully the English localization skips over the no homo bullshit and acknowledges that the relationships are romantic.
I hope that if we have a rerelease on the Switch like Miitopia, that the game will have all food and clothing options in all versions, along with the makeup & wigs from Miitopia, add in some new features and having an option for chosing what gender of miis a selected mii wants to date (which I think would be a good way to implement gay marriage), and we'd have the best port of the game in our hands, at least that's what I think
I’m assuming that if they make another, it’ll have no region locking meaning all versions have to be the same, so that hopefully will mean way more cultural diversity between versions while retaining some regional holidays and stuff (like animal crossing has)
@@PlasticKnight Yeah that makes sence! Thinking about it more I hope we get a sequel rather than a port but either way I really hope Miitopia Switch sells well so we can get more games like these
Another thing I thought about is having the option to turn off divource, since that was something that kinda stressed me out playing as a kid, all these miis I'd seen happily married with kids for actual years suddenly hated eachother for no discernable reason, idk I just think the option would be nice
11:12 A little fun fact the reason that dream is called familiar is because it’s the old island and music from tomodachi collection (DS) a little something for players of the original from 2009. ☺️☺️ it’s very nostalgic I just wish it doesn’t slow down because it gets creepy huehue
Fun fact: The bungee jump dream was in OG Collection. Speaking of Collection, main reason why it was never released outside of Japan was due to the localization teams being unable to get text-to-speech to work well when the language is not Japanese.
Yeah, I initially had a section of this video dedicated to Tomodachi collection but I felt as though it was unnecessary and might just make it a separate video in the future
12:30 That isn’t really a ‘normal eraser’, as it’s supposed to directly reference ‘keshi’, a specific type of special rubber based figure that COULD BE used as a eraser, but are more intended to be collected and played with! The color shown here is also the incredibly famous ‘flesh’ colorway, which is the staple color used across numerous keshi toylines (such as Kinnikuman/M.U.S.C.L.E., old various Nintendo keshi sets made across the NES-SNES-N64 eras to promote different games, the pokemon series, Neclos Fortress, etc!)
So I decided to play the Korean version and I took a few notes, so if you’re interested, feel free to read! 1, the bunny suit isn’t a Japanese exclusive, it’s also in the Korean version, except it’s in the Costumes section, not the Work section. 2, if you type something in English, it’ll pronounce it entirely, unlike the Japanese ver which spells it out 3, the Korean version has a few exclusive clothing 4, when you stare at a Mii, the blushing might look different than other versions 5, in the hail dream, the mii’s are fan dancing around 1 mii (there are 2 vers of this dream) 6, there’s a grape shooting thing in the news tower? (I’m not sure if it’s exclusive tho) That’s all I can take note of right now, I might take more notes and edit this comment
I've been playing a little bit too, though also there has been other stuff I have yet to have found as well! Carossmo discovered a feature exclusive to the Korean Version where Miis are set up on blind dates to various locations. It has unique music and everything, the link to it is here: ruclips.net/video/FzRW-DoV-Ao/видео.html
Was anything related to Japanese culture remove in the Korean version of it I feel like it it send a lot of Japanese games anyting to the culture remove or change since Korea and Japan did not have a good history
So I had two miis in a relationship and they were both adults but I had to change the girl's age ( I had changed her bday to be accurate to her reference sheet as she is an oc who's 16) and the relationship status didn't change as I thought it would. So he proposed a while later, I went through the whole shabang but before the wedding cutscenes would play he said that he can't marry her yet because she's not 18, will you use an age o magic to help them out? I of course said yes and they got married now have a kid. So there is unique dialog for an adult-child relationship with trying to be married.
Hi! I found a regional difference which you haven't said. In tomodachi quest on the panel on the touch screen the sign below the coin slot's text varies by region. On the american and european version it simply says "Insert Coin" whilst in the Japanese and Korean version it specifies the price for one play.
The bungee jump dream in the Korean version was also in the original Tomodachi Collection. Also, the Korean title translates to "Friend-Gathering Apartment", which makes a lot of sense.
this is so cool, i love how each version is the same game but reflects on each culture to make it more unique to the player based on where they're from. great job covering it all, thats all i gotta say. poggers.
Yess- I have the galaxy version of the 3DS and I have Tomodachi Life, and honestly I get so upset when I can't have gay miis and when I run out of things to do.
workaround for same sex date: make a mii a girl, but make a boy avatar, and viceversa, the game will get the pronouns wrong (?) but its fine, and the males or females can have babies too
If they do make a Tomodatchi Life sequel I’m begging they don’t have any regional differences. I really like the idea of there being a ton of stuff all packed in the game from different cultures. I think it would be rly cool
5:10 Well, its not thanking the player. いただきます is a phrase Japanese people use before eating a meal. It basically thanking everything that has been done to create the meal.
I hope we get a remake! With more options, maybe pets, make-up too! I always wanted to be able to make miis go to dates :/ like I tell the mii "go and try to be friends with this mii!" it would be so much better like sometimes I just want to make that 2 people date or be friends
And I really wanted a like.. Sexuality thing? Like yes I wanna be able to make gay miis! Even if they aren't able to have kids (or they could add a adoption thing like they say they want a kid and you make one for them) Like you can choose if they are gay, straight or bisexual for a example
@@ritafonseca9895 I feel like a lot of those things would be really cool honesty, I’m just hoping they decide to take advantage of it. For sexuality I’m assuming they’re gonna go with the “Pansexual until proven otherwise” approach like The Sims does, and hopefully they can follow some sort of fantasy logic for babies where gay miis can just decide to have one
I rlly want to restart my save file on tomodachi life, but I’ve got so attached to my mii’s I can’t bring myself to do it so they’re basically here forever. Looking forward to tomodachi life dx on the switch!
I would recommend homebrewing your console, and backing up your save data via Checkpoint. Then you can restart the data and still keep a copy of your data elsewhere. At least, that’s what I did when I restarted my island, haha
14:49 the souvenir being a piece of the Berlin Wall implys that Mii communism is real meaning Mii WW1 HAPPENED meaning Mii WW2 happened as well… this is a lot darker than I think they realised
Wow okay the timing of this is insane. I just watched your Iceberg video yesterday and i knew you were going to eventually make this video and i was anticipating it. RUclips recommendations worked for once, and i loved this video just like your iceberg. I never knew about most of the stuff you covered in this video, i had no clue that this game changed so much in other places. Very good, keep up the good work. Hopefully you get bigger because you definitely deserve way more subs than you have currently!
This video was a very interesting watch, I knew the Japanese version had differences but I didn't know that there were so many of them. Nice work on the video!
I wish that for a possible sequel they add like at least the option to make the babies grow up slowly, as well letting couples have more than one child at a time. I like the cutscenes when the families are together having fun. I also kind of wish we can give the Miis accents, and depending on where they're from they'll ask for something and explain what it is if it goes by a different name in that respective region.
I’m hoping if they make a remake, they add same sex relationships (because literally everyone in the game is straight) and where you can give the miis relatives. My brother’s daughter and my son in the game became a couple because they weren’t allowed to be assigned siblings.
I learned this feature from Carrossmo, but it was way after this video had already come out :,) I'm still planning on someday recording more Korean version differences, but it depends on what I can plausibly do
It's amazing, isn't it? I remember buying the game for Christmas after watching an American RUclipsr play it, and the differences threw me!! The Miis even have accents! Such detail!! 😍
Holy crap, I am shocked you were able to find all of this. I've been playing this game since it launched and I never even thought of how many differences it would have between regions.
The problematic aspect to that is that they're doing it for comedy purposes and not because men should be able to wear dresses if they want, it's deceptively not progressive :/
The game is just downright adoring and charming. The only thing I’m a bit sad about is the lack of lgbtq additions to it, though, I don’t necessarily blame them since the lgbtq wasn’t prominent in Japan at the time. I’m glad they accepted their mistake though!
This game came out before gay marriage was legal in all US states as well, even disregarding the fact that gay marriage is still illegal in Japan, so I’m assuming they also were struggling as a result of that as well. They did have a sort of compromise for it in Miitopia, so hopefully they can do the same thing with Tomodachi Life in a potential future sequel
They apologized for not including same sex couples back when the game came out and promised it for a sequel. STILL WAITING FOR A DAMN SEQUEL, THIS GAME WAS STILL AMAZING. Still had a loophole since you can make the miis look however you wanted lol.
In the next game i was thinking like a X Y orientation chart, Like X would go (gay▪︎bi▪︎hent) And Y would go (ace▪︎aromantic ▪︎allo) Aslo a inters3x option would be nice.
@@radiokunio3738 I feel as though the most likely route they will go is by having all miis be bisexual, and removing gendered terminology when referring to miis (similar to miitomo and animal crossing)
this game is honestly more amazing the more I think about it, really deep gameplay and you can see the effort they put into localised versions to make it accessible for everyone… those small changes can mean a lot. it’s clear the people who worked on it really cared and it shows in the end result (unlike some game developers nowadays…thinking specifically of EA and the sims 4, if only the ammount of effort and care about the small things was put into that game) ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK?? Iconic. this has also made me remember loads of features I forgot, like tomodachi quest, daily news reports, the songs… good times ahahaha
As a British tomodachi life player who plays the japanese Version i noticed a few differences. When a mii has already had something food clothes etc the tick is pink instead of green. In the park the photoshot the time is at 4 instead of 5pm. When you call a mii they won't always bow they pant, wave (but different) sprint and wave there arms. The "Real" interior room is the most expensive room instead of the golden room being the second expensive. When you visit a place like fountain etc the title "There seems to be nobody here now.." Doesnt show up
Just for clarification, the European version has both Word Chain *and* Rap Battle every day. Word Chain is from 17:30-18:30 while Rap Battle is from 19:00-20:00.
So I saw that my image was used at 7:03 I want to thank you for that privilege Anyways great video all around. I don't think of this many differences in the regional versions
Fun Fact: In the 3DS home menu, on the Tomodachi Life logo (the one on the top screen), the island is missing the observation tower. This is because nintendo used the same model from the Japanese version for all regions.
@@scoutjasperwillow It’s the island of the game Tomodachi Collection, as you can tell by the more nostalgic looking graphics, and the DS sounding music. It’s probably done to give older fans some nostalgia. I only know this because I was able to find a translated version of Tomodachi Collection and had the blessing of being able to play it.
Subtitles 2:05: -If you choose to do this you’re look alike will be pre-assigned to the game and you can then transfer the Knees of your choice into new life Ha ha, *KNEES*
Oh damn when you mentioned miitomo, I got memories of when this game came first out. I miss this app so much. Also, this is the most informative tomodachi life video I've ever seen. You did a very great job! I can't believe there are so many differences than I thought. (I used to play the European version) not gonna lie, I would love to play the other versions as well. If miitopia has a switch version, I hope tomodachi life gets a switch version as well!
I just wish the next tomodachi life will have same sex relationship Edit: damn never thought this comment would get a lot of likes and replies but still you guys have really good ideas
Damn I really do hope we get tomodachi life on the switch We have miitopia and it's gonna be successful from seeing how everyone is excited So I hope they're more than likely gonna make a switch version
I deleted my years old island a couple years ago to start a new one and i regret it sooooooo hard now. Biggest mistake of my life. I did save all my islanders to mii maker and take pictures of their info, tho. Im slowly putting them back onto my new island but it’ll never be the same

Hello fellow bean
This is a man who has never heard of Vinesauce.
This is PROBLEY the worst typo ever also.
I will firmly grasp the tomodachi life korean version pig in the pig chase dream
A lot of the changes to avoid cross dressing seemed a bit pointless to me since you can just make them cross dress yourself. 😭 Also very interesting about Kuroku being stage hands, makes you consider the wider implications that might have for the story of the game...
I agree
@loficold and even then, it’s still allowed.
@loficold not always, actually, just usually
Only bad thing is that they usually always dislike the item if it's for the opposite gender. I've had this problem with me putting a female Mii, who I was trying to make appear male so I could have a gay couple in my game, in male clothing. They always hated it.
@@b3nt079 i have this problem too, but surprisingly i've got an odd one out who loves opposite-gender clothing. unfortunately, this is not one of my gay miis, lol
she's a female mii who hates feminine clothes, but loves masculine clothes ("she loves it!" "she really likes it!" when given men's jackets and shirts. good for her tbh)
"In New Life, Child Miis can date Adult Miis" left me like 👁👄👁
It’s going to be one of those times like: you enjoying something when you were a kid and then you understand it and regret it when you are older....
Edp445 moment
rad pfp 💪🏻
Sorry WHAT
When i heard that fact i was like What The Allah!
This is so in depth. I don't even want to know how long this must have taken to make. Good stuff!
Took me a year but that’s entirely bc I wrote the script last year and gave up right up until the past week where I basically redid everything and then put this out. It definitely helped most of it was on the wiki tho!
absolutely absurd that they let you date KIDS (and married people in the japanese version) but not adults of the same gender. also with other details, tomodachi life really said no homo at literally every opportunity
It’s honestly such a bizarre decision but I guess maybe they somehow thought the homophobia would be more severe than the response to pedophilia existing
ikr, it honestly makes me pretty mad
They used incest to cover up a gay relationship in a certain infamous dub, soooo....
Even now, in games like the Story of Seasons series, same sex relationships are called "best friends" in the Japanese version
Thankfully the English localization skips over the no homo bullshit and acknowledges that the relationships are romantic.
According to the wiki, they apologized and said that they’ll add it in the next game, but it’s absolutely revolting either way. Makes me feel ashamed.
I hope that if we have a rerelease on the Switch like Miitopia, that the game will have all food and clothing options in all versions, along with the makeup & wigs from Miitopia, add in some new features and having an option for chosing what gender of miis a selected mii wants to date (which I think would be a good way to implement gay marriage), and we'd have the best port of the game in our hands, at least that's what I think
I’m assuming that if they make another, it’ll have no region locking meaning all versions have to be the same, so that hopefully will mean way more cultural diversity between versions while retaining some regional holidays and stuff (like animal crossing has)
@@PlasticKnight Yeah that makes sence! Thinking about it more I hope we get a sequel rather than a port but either way I really hope Miitopia Switch sells well so we can get more games like these
I just hope you can transfer miis from Miitopia since make up isn't system wide
I think if we get a switch version Nintendo will include lgtbq relationships since Nintendo said they will include that
Another thing I thought about is having the option to turn off divource, since that was something that kinda stressed me out playing as a kid, all these miis I'd seen happily married with kids for actual years suddenly hated eachother for no discernable reason, idk I just think the option would be nice
11:12 A little fun fact the reason that dream is called familiar is because it’s the old island and music from tomodachi collection (DS) a little something for players of the original from 2009. ☺️☺️ it’s very nostalgic I just wish it doesn’t slow down because it gets creepy huehue
This music reminds me of an fighting game looking familiar... was this used in Smash bros tomodachi life stage?
@@TheCreationOfDread yes
This was the first game I ever got for my 3DS, I still remember how the first relationship ever formed on my island was myself and FUCKING NYAN CAT
Don’t worry I got with jigglypuff on mine
@@Itz_Twistyy mine got with Ariana Grande
my mom and my cousin..
@@badubap_ In the game?…
@@fatyoshi1456 YEAH BUT STILL 😭😭
Fun fact: The bungee jump dream was in OG Collection.
Speaking of Collection, main reason why it was never released outside of Japan was due to the localization teams being unable to get text-to-speech to work well when the language is not Japanese.
Yeah, I initially had a section of this video dedicated to Tomodachi collection but I felt as though it was unnecessary and might just make it a separate video in the future
12:30 That isn’t really a ‘normal eraser’, as it’s supposed to directly reference ‘keshi’, a specific type of special rubber based figure that COULD BE used as a eraser, but are more intended to be collected and played with! The color shown here is also the incredibly famous ‘flesh’ colorway, which is the staple color used across numerous keshi toylines (such as Kinnikuman/M.U.S.C.L.E., old various Nintendo keshi sets made across the NES-SNES-N64 eras to promote different games, the pokemon series, Neclos Fortress, etc!)
Ah yes, the only game where Nagito’s kid for some reason keeps trying to steal Vriska’s boyfriend who is Twogami
That sentence is basically the chaotic interactions that you can get with Tomadachi life... and I love it’s craziness
lmao
Veiska's boyfriend twogami
Yessssssss
or where your mother marries Tonto from the lone ranger and then has a child with him
Ah yes, danganronpa and homestuck
So I decided to play the Korean version and I took a few notes, so if you’re interested, feel free to read!
1, the bunny suit isn’t a Japanese exclusive, it’s also in the Korean version, except it’s in the Costumes section, not the Work section.
2, if you type something in English, it’ll pronounce it entirely, unlike the Japanese ver which spells it out
3, the Korean version has a few exclusive clothing
4, when you stare at a Mii, the blushing might look different than other versions
5, in the hail dream, the mii’s are fan dancing around 1 mii (there are 2 vers of this dream)
6, there’s a grape shooting thing in the news tower? (I’m not sure if it’s exclusive tho)
That’s all I can take note of right now, I might take more notes and edit this comment
I've been playing a little bit too, though also there has been other stuff I have yet to have found as well! Carossmo discovered a feature exclusive to the Korean Version where Miis are set up on blind dates to various locations. It has unique music and everything, the link to it is here: ruclips.net/video/FzRW-DoV-Ao/видео.html
@@PlasticKnight This is really cool! Sucks that it was only in Korea.
Was anything related to Japanese culture remove in the Korean version of it I feel like it it send a lot of Japanese games anyting to the culture remove or change since Korea and Japan did not have a good history
“ In New Life, a dream exclusive to that version of the game is present. This is what the dream looks like:”

blood types were like zodiac signs? strangeeeeee. cultural differences are fascinating
It’s the same reason why a lot of anime characters have blood types listed in this descriptions!
Yeah! It’s often pointed out in anime/manga/Japanese media in general. Also, nice pfp dude
@@arlann- lmao thanks! i've had it for like 4 years, only reason i haven't changed it is for comments like yours lol

So I had two miis in a relationship and they were both adults but I had to change the girl's age ( I had changed her bday to be accurate to her reference sheet as she is an oc who's 16) and the relationship status didn't change as I thought it would. So he proposed a while later, I went through the whole shabang but before the wedding cutscenes would play he said that he can't marry her yet because she's not 18, will you use an age o magic to help them out? I of course said yes and they got married now have a kid. So there is unique dialog for an adult-child relationship with trying to be married.
Hi! I found a regional difference which you haven't said. In tomodachi quest on the panel on the touch screen the sign below the coin slot's text varies by region. On the american and european version it simply says "Insert Coin" whilst in the Japanese and Korean version it specifies the price for one play.
Yeah I initially was going to mention it but for some reason I didn’t. Good to point out tho!
Little correction, in the european version rap battles only happens at the evening, word chains are in the end-noon
The bungee jump dream in the Korean version was also in the original Tomodachi Collection. Also, the Korean title translates to "Friend-Gathering Apartment", which makes a lot of sense.
Yep! I forgot to mention the fact that it was carried over but it indeed was
I got hold of a tomadaki collection rom and I got that dream
I remember first learning about the regional differences from DanTDM's old Playthrough and I was so curious about it all.
mii to
For me when I learned about the regional differences it was from some of ohhmykawaii’s videos since I live in the UK
same
I used to watch Dan's playthrough
same i was so confused by it when i was little lmao
this is so cool, i love how each version is the same game but reflects on each culture to make it more unique to the player based on where they're from. great job covering it all, thats all i gotta say. poggers.
All I want is this game on Switch. Just expand the island with new locations and events, add same-sex relationships and I'll pay 60$ for it.
Yess- I have the galaxy version of the 3DS and I have Tomodachi Life, and honestly I get so upset when I can't have gay miis and when I run out of things to do.
Honestly same, I'd pay.
I have no money ever since it was used to buy my phone but I'd give a donut for it.
I want to have different nationalities like a british islander so I can hear diff accents
workaround for same sex date: make a mii a girl, but make a boy avatar, and viceversa, the game will get the pronouns wrong (?) but its fine, and the males or females can have babies too
Translators: Translating is a very though job, making a global release date impossible
Also translators:
I have no idea how many specific translations for this game exist but it’s WAYYYY too much work than a typical localization that’s for certain
If they do make a Tomodatchi Life sequel I’m begging they don’t have any regional differences. I really like the idea of there being a ton of stuff all packed in the game from different cultures. I think it would be rly cool
oh yeah that would be awesome
the "familiar" dream genuinely unnerved me seeing it, so i guess itd make sense to not include it in other regions LOL
Yeah also cus Tomodachi Collection never came out outside Japan
5:10 Well, its not thanking the player. いただきます is a phrase Japanese people use before eating a meal. It basically thanking everything that has been done to create the meal.
Yeah that’s essentially what I mean
thats exactly what she said tho
I hope we get a remake! With more options, maybe pets, make-up too!
I always wanted to be able to make miis go to dates :/ like I tell the mii "go and try to be friends with this mii!" it would be so much better like sometimes I just want to make that 2 people date or be friends
And I really wanted a like.. Sexuality thing? Like yes I wanna be able to make gay miis! Even if they aren't able to have kids (or they could add a adoption thing like they say they want a kid and you make one for them)
Like you can choose if they are gay, straight or bisexual for a example
@@ritafonseca9895 I feel like a lot of those things would be really cool honesty, I’m just hoping they decide to take advantage of it. For sexuality I’m assuming they’re gonna go with the “Pansexual until proven otherwise” approach like The Sims does, and hopefully they can follow some sort of fantasy logic for babies where gay miis can just decide to have one
This video makes me want to play tomodachi life when I get home lol
please do
11:09 "this is what the dream looks like" **clorox ad plays**
I got a miitopia ad!
@@theiceman4494 lol very fitting

i got a car ad hhahshdjf
I’ve always found the differences between regions super interesting, awesome to see a video on it! One of the most charming games in my collection.
I rlly want to restart my save file on tomodachi life, but I’ve got so attached to my mii’s I can’t bring myself to do it so they’re basically here forever. Looking forward to tomodachi life dx on the switch!
I hope there's a way to transfer data between 3ds and switch
I would recommend homebrewing your console, and backing up your save data via Checkpoint. Then you can restart the data and still keep a copy of your data elsewhere.
At least, that’s what I did when I restarted my island, haha
14:49 the souvenir being a piece of the Berlin Wall implys that Mii communism is real meaning Mii WW1 HAPPENED
meaning Mii WW2 happened as well… this is a lot darker than I think they realised
11:47 I had no idea that was what the red string signified! Now it makes sense!
Wow okay the timing of this is insane. I just watched your Iceberg video yesterday and i knew you were going to eventually make this video and i was anticipating it. RUclips recommendations worked for once, and i loved this video just like your iceberg. I never knew about most of the stuff you covered in this video, i had no clue that this game changed so much in other places. Very good, keep up the good work. Hopefully you get bigger because you definitely deserve way more subs than you have currently!
I'm realising just how much of the stuff I take for granted in my version of the game isn't available in other versions...
I would sacrifice a newborn for Tomodachi Life 2 on Switch.
So would I!
Babies are ugly
@@CookieCrumbAJ no, they are a miracle.
@@CookieCrumbAJ get out of life
We need gay releationships
I did have to take a moment when I saw Beef Boss and Abby
This video was a very interesting watch, I knew the Japanese version had differences but I didn't know that there were so many of them. Nice work on the video!
Omg I didn't even know you had a channel- thank you for fueling my Tomodachi Life addiction
Tomodachi Life is the one thing uniting my non-RUclips followers
I wish that for a possible sequel they add like at least the option to make the babies grow up slowly, as well letting couples have more than one child at a time. I like the cutscenes when the families are together having fun. I also kind of wish we can give the Miis accents, and depending on where they're from they'll ask for something and explain what it is if it goes by a different name in that respective region.
It’s sad making Joseph Joestar and Caesar Zeppeli without their signature British and Italian accents respectively
10:31 guess it’s time to spin my child I didn’t get a warning over here
3:55 I don’t know why seeing Poofesure gameplay got me so excited
I love what all these changes say about the perceived cultural and societal norms of each community this game was designed for at the time.
I’m hoping if they make a remake, they add same sex relationships (because literally everyone in the game is straight) and where you can give the miis relatives.
My brother’s daughter and my son in the game became a couple because they weren’t allowed to be assigned siblings.
My friend's mom married Obama
they are siblings? what are you and your brother doing? and why do you have an objection to them dating if you got this far?
im pretty sure if you just make the relationships “your sibling” they wont fall inlove
@@richmkwoh no, they still do. My fathers mii fell in love with my mii
My mums mii fell in love with my brother and they have 3 children now
I'm glad I found a fellow TDL lover
in the korean version, you can actually set miis up on a blind date with anyone on the entire island even if they dont know them!
I learned this feature from Carrossmo, but it was way after this video had already come out :,) I'm still planning on someday recording more Korean version differences, but it depends on what I can plausibly do
3:55 didn't expect to see poofesure footage😭
lol i know i didn’t either 😂
Lmaooo
As an Aussie, I’m shocked that my game’s logo is almost completely different than the US one.
These games are so silly and enjoyable, I honestly hope that we're able to manifest these little guys to get a new game they deserve it.
It's amazing, isn't it? I remember buying the game for Christmas after watching an American RUclipsr play it, and the differences threw me!! The Miis even have accents! Such detail!! 😍
Thank you so much for this vid!! Recently I've been into my Tomodachi hyperfixation so I'm really happy to see this. 😄
Same, the reason why I made this!
This got recommended to me despite your channel size, so congratulations on the algorithm choosing you!
I’ve been blessed twice so far so I’m trying to feed into it the best I can :,)
Holy crap, I am shocked you were able to find all of this. I've been playing this game since it launched and I never even thought of how many differences it would have between regions.
It just said this is what the dream looks like, and an ad pops up right after.
a summary of this video: the japanese version is insanely more problematic than other versions, except for the fact that it lets dudes crossdress :D
How is it problematic?
@@hjsgdhdhk Do you really have no idea or do you not see the problem.
You can crossdress just by giving them the clothes (at least in the Australian version I haven't played others)
@@goodlad85 i know, but i mean in stuff outside of that lol
The problematic aspect to that is that they're doing it for comedy purposes and not because men should be able to wear dresses if they want, it's deceptively not progressive :/
Personality types are different in in some versions too. Like the ones used in Europe and Australia are different to the ones in America.
Only the names are different. Some of them were swapped around
I absolutely love how one of the examples was Poofesure's Beef Boss and Beef Bitch
The game is just downright adoring and charming.
The only thing I’m a bit sad about is the lack of lgbtq additions to it, though, I don’t necessarily blame them since the lgbtq wasn’t prominent in Japan at the time.
I’m glad they accepted their mistake though!
This game came out before gay marriage was legal in all US states as well, even disregarding the fact that gay marriage is still illegal in Japan, so I’m assuming they also were struggling as a result of that as well. They did have a sort of compromise for it in Miitopia, so hopefully they can do the same thing with Tomodachi Life in a potential future sequel
They apologized for not including same sex couples back when the game came out and promised it for a sequel.
STILL WAITING FOR A DAMN SEQUEL, THIS GAME WAS STILL AMAZING. Still had a loophole since you can make the miis look however you wanted lol.
In the next game i was thinking like a X Y orientation chart,
Like X would go (gay▪︎bi▪︎hent)
And Y would go (ace▪︎aromantic ▪︎allo)
Aslo a inters3x option would be nice.
@@radiokunio3738 I feel as though the most likely route they will go is by having all miis be bisexual, and removing gendered terminology when referring to miis (similar to miitomo and animal crossing)
@@PlasticKnight i mean more what i would personally do.
"Here is what the dream looks like":
*Gremlins ad plays right after you said that*
this game is honestly more amazing the more I think about it, really deep gameplay and you can see the effort they put into localised versions to make it accessible for everyone… those small changes can mean a lot. it’s clear the people who worked on it really cared and it shows in the end result (unlike some game developers nowadays…thinking specifically of EA and the sims 4, if only the ammount of effort and care about the small things was put into that game)
ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK?? Iconic. this has also made me remember loads of features I forgot, like tomodachi quest, daily news reports, the songs… good times ahahaha
As a British tomodachi life player who plays the japanese Version i noticed a few differences.
When a mii has already had something food clothes etc the tick is pink instead of green.
In the park the photoshot the time is at 4 instead of 5pm.
When you call a mii they won't always bow they pant, wave (but different) sprint and wave there arms.
The "Real" interior room is the most expensive room instead of the golden room being the second expensive.
When you visit a place like fountain etc the title "There seems to be nobody here now.." Doesnt show up
Ngl, this video is surprisingly entertaining! Thank you for making it!
Just for clarification, the European version has both Word Chain *and* Rap Battle every day. Word Chain is from 17:30-18:30 while Rap Battle is from 19:00-20:00.
So I saw that my image was used at 7:03
I want to thank you for that privilege
Anyways great video all around. I don't think of this many differences in the regional versions
Nice
I always find Tomodachi Life content super interesting, the regional variants is something I was particularly keen to see! 👌
Been waiting for a video like this for nearly 2 years now. Thank you so much!
“This is what the dream looks like.”

Fun Fact: In the 3DS home menu, on the Tomodachi Life logo (the one on the top screen), the island is missing the observation tower. This is because nintendo used the same model from the Japanese version for all regions.
that “familiar” dream is weird af
im confused as to what it means its just the island and that's it
Its the island of the previous game, not tomodachi life
It's the the 2009 tomodachi life game on the ds in japan
@@scoutjasperwillow It’s the island of the game Tomodachi Collection, as you can tell by the more nostalgic looking graphics, and the DS sounding music. It’s probably done to give older fans some nostalgia. I only know this because I was able to find a translated version of Tomodachi Collection and had the blessing of being able to play it.
Subtitles 2:05: -If you choose to do this you’re look alike will be pre-assigned to the game and you can then transfer the Knees of your choice into new life
Ha ha, *KNEES*
Oh damn when you mentioned miitomo, I got memories of when this game came first out. I miss this app so much. Also, this is the most informative tomodachi life video I've ever seen. You did a very great job! I can't believe there are so many differences than I thought. (I used to play the European version) not gonna lie, I would love to play the other versions as well. If miitopia has a switch version, I hope tomodachi life gets a switch version as well!
I just wish the next tomodachi life will have same sex relationship
Edit: damn never thought this comment would get a lot of likes and replies but still you guys have really good ideas
That would be 18+ in russia for some reason
Nintendo actually did promise that they would! Miitopia has shown they are getting on it, but Russia wasn't happy about that.
Give us gay Miis, Nintendo!
@@NtdoMac It's a lose-lose situation, I guess
yeah, it's annoying that i either can't have gay miis or if i do then the game aggressively misgenders them the whole time :(
who else noticed that shane and sam from the friendship pairing at 9:05 are from stardew valley?! :P
As long as I see Tomodachi Life content, I'm fully in!!
Damn I really do hope we get tomodachi life on the switch
We have miitopia and it's gonna be successful from seeing how everyone is excited
So I hope they're more than likely gonna make a switch version
This is the weirdest recommendation I have ever gotten and I’m thankful for it, great video
I deleted my years old island a couple years ago to start a new one and i regret it sooooooo hard now. Biggest mistake of my life. I did save all my islanders to mii maker and take pictures of their info, tho. Im slowly putting them back onto my new island but it’ll never be the same
