==Franchise Description==
==Franchise description==
The franchise was initially made as a response to the lack of [[Mii]] representation on the {{uv|Nintendo DS}}, as it was released two years before their official debut. A relatively young team led by Yoshio Sakamoto was brought together in 2006 to brainstorm how to implement Miis into a game. They eventually settled on a life simulation game, taking particular inspiration from the 2000 Game Boy Color game ''{{s|wikipedia|Tottoko Hamtaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu}}''. Sakamoto has said that he wanted his game to be "A version of that game that adult woman can play." The working title for the game was even {{ja|大人のオンナの占い手帳|The Adult Woman's Fortune-Telling Notebook}}. They came up with the idea of a character creation tool based on {{s|wikipedia|Fukuwarai}}, which inspired to [[Wii]] developers to create ''Mii Maker''<ref> [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/ccuj/vol1/index.html Iwata Asks with developers of Tomodachi Collection]</ref>. These efforts culminated in 2009 with the release of ''Tomodachi Collection''. In this game, players needed to feed, clothe, and watch over the more-than-often ridiculous lives of their [[Mii]] characters, as they go about and perform daily activities, make friendships, and start romantic relationships (to the point of marriage and starting a family). While the game was a success, it never officially released outside of Japan.

A sequel was released in 2013 for [[Nintendo 3DS]], titled ''Tomodachi Life'' (titled ''Tomodachi Collection: New Life'' in Japan). This game would receive an international release in 2014. The game is similar to its predecessor in terms of gameplay and presentation, just with more options and possible events. The game was a great success and helped propell the Mii brand out of a decline in popularity at the time.

Next came a spiritual successor for IOS and Androind titled ''Miitomo''. While not carrying the official ''Tomodachi'' branding, it has all the basic gameplay mechanics of the series while retooling them into an online focused social network setting. It was the first ever first-party Nintendo game to officially release on mobile devices. While initially very popular at launch, engagement quickly fell due to lack of interest and the service was discontinued in 2018.

The Tomodachi universe (トモダチコレクション, Tomodachi Collection) refers to the Super Smash Bros. series' collection of properties that carry the Tomodachi branding.

Franchise descriptionEdit

The franchise was initially made as a response to the lack of Mii representation on the Nintendo DS, as it was released two years before their official debut. A relatively young team led by Yoshio Sakamoto was brought together in 2006 to brainstorm how to implement Miis into a game. They eventually settled on a life simulation game, taking particular inspiration from the 2000 Game Boy Color game Tottoko Hamtaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu. Sakamoto has said that he wanted his game to be "A version of that game that adult woman can play." The working title for the game was even 大人のオンナの占い手帳. They came up with the idea of a character creation tool based on Fukuwarai, which inspired to Wii developers to create Mii Maker.[1] These efforts culminated in 2009 with the release of Tomodachi Collection. In this game, players needed to feed, clothe, and watch over the more-than-often ridiculous lives of their Mii characters, as they go about and perform daily activities, make friendships, and start romantic relationships (to the point of marriage and starting a family). While the game was a success, it never officially released outside of Japan.

A sequel was released in 2013 for Nintendo 3DS, titled Tomodachi Life (titled Tomodachi Collection: New Life in Japan). This game would receive an international release in 2014. The game is similar to its predecessor in terms of gameplay and presentation, just with more options and possible events. The game was a great success and helped propell the Mii brand out of a decline in popularity at the time.

Next came a spiritual successor for iOS and Android titled Miitomo. While not carrying the official Tomodachi branding, it has all the basic gameplay mechanics of the series while retooling them into an online focused social network setting. It was the first ever first-party Nintendo game to officially release on mobile devices. While initially very popular at launch, engagement quickly fell due to lack of interest and the service was discontinued in 2018.

    Tomodachi Life (Starter): A stage set in the Mii Apartments. The front walls of the apartments disappear so the area within is visible when a fighter overlaps with the room. The rooms are randomly placed and selected from among several types. Occasionally, the player will encounter a Mii character in the apartment pulled straight from their 3DS's Mii Plaza.

MusicEdit

Original trackEdit

  • Tomodachi Life: An arrangement of the daytime theme from Tomodachi Life and the daytime theme from Tomodachi Collection, which plays on the Tomodachi Life stage.

TrophiesEdit

Mii Apartments
  This apartment complex is located in the middle of the island—so convenient! But wait. Why even leave when there's so much fun stuff to do inside? More importantly, what's up with the girl in 301 and the guy in 105? I'm sure someone around here wants to gossip...

Golden
  One of the luxury interiors available in Tomodachi Life, yours to own for the low, low cost of $20,000! What could make you feel more like a celebrity than a room coated in gold? All the gold coins on display absolutely scream "I'm rich and famous!" Your friends will be so jealous.
  From Tomodachi Life, this is a room for the elite of the elite, where everything is plated with purest gold. Displayed on the monitor is more money than you could possibly hold, further accentuating the feeling of wealth and luxury. Better hope you don't attract any burglars, though! Definitely a room to try out if you have money to burn.
