Aguilera is signed on to help promote the game, including a guest star appearance in a TV commercial and in online videos. Additionally, her Mii will be available at launch.

“Even your far-fetched celebrity dreams can come true in Tomodachi Life.

The multi award-winning singer has signed on to be a part of Nintendo’s promotional campaign for the game, and her Mii character will be available at launch. Aguilera’s Mii character also will guest star in a TV commercial and in online videos that show all the exciting things that happen when celebrities mingle with Miis players know personally.”
