I have to admit that when I first heard that Nintendo’s latest game Tomodachi Life was launching, it sounded a little familiar. Only it turns out to be quite the humorous adventure that my 9 year old son has been playing in past three weeks.
Launched on June 6 for Nintendo 3DS, this game sets out to bring a fun "hanging out" with friends style experience into the gaming system. Players create their own playable Mii characters in the game – my son has created his brother and a few friends along side his own character. He’s customized what they wear and their living spaces and they all have their own unique personalities – likes and dislikes. But each time he plays, the characters are brought to life with scenarios that are often funny… apparently his brother now has a girlfriend, and yes, they can even get married, maybe later.
