Nintendo Everything

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– When Tomodachi Life is on, all bets are off. You, your friends and family – alongside some of the coolest people you can imagine – can star as Mii characters in this madcap hand-held adventure launching June 6 for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The only difference will be that now you will watch their lives unfold in sillier, entirely spontaneous and hilariously dramatic ways.

“Tomodachi” is the Japanese word for “friend.” Because your friends become the life force of Tomodachi Life, the game will become your BFF, just as it has for millions of video game fans in Japan. If you’re dreaming of hanging out with celebrities, Nintendo is providing the Mii characters of Christina Aguilera, Debby Ryan, Zendaya, Shaun White and Shaquille O’Neal in Tomodachi Life at launch on the Tomodachi Life website at http://tomodachi.nintendo.com/sharing-miis.

For those worried about the state of Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms, it seems Sledgehammer is looking to bring the latest iteration to Wii U, at least according to their E3 listing. The series’ has never done well on Nintendo hardware traditionally but this move shows that it appears to still be a viable move for whatever reason. We will know if this rumor holds true when E3 rolls around.
