We’re living the dream this week on Nintendo Voice Chat, as the next Tomodachi Life entry is finally here. Join Logan Plant, Brian Altano, Seth Macy, and Miranda Sanchez as Logan and Miranda talk about their 35+ hours in Nintendo’s quirky, hilarious life sim. From the huge fight between Samus Aran and Reggie Fils-Aimé, to the best things we created just to see what would unfold, we talk about our favorite parts of Living the Dream. The game is a blast, but its lack of sharing Miis, creations, and screenshots puts a dark cloud over the whole thing. Later, the crew answers your Question Block submissions, including their favorite games that caused them to take notes, and a discussion on if Nintendo is doing enough to appeal to younger audiences in the age of Fortnite and Roblox.
