Walmart Mexico lists Tomodachi Collection as “Tomodachi Life”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, it’s safe to say that Tomodachi Collection is heading west. There have been plenty of signs (and straight up evidence, like this survey) pointing to an overseas release.
When Tomodachi Collection does launch in the west, it may carry the name “Tomodachi Life” based on a listing from Walmart Mexico. Nintendo did recently trademark that very name, so that would certainly make sense!

Photos of Nintendo’s 2013 company handbook

We’ve already seen Nintendo’s company handbook for 2014. Today, photos have surfaced from the 2013 edition.
It’s quite interesting to look at. The latter pages are particularly impressive, as one of the final sections can be folded to look like Nintendo’s HQ in Kyoto.
