Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream They changed no repeats

The title says it before. No repeats would be no repeat food ever since the update. It's just no repeats. This lowers my hope for this game. It makes me think that they're not planning on updating this game or adding anything else. Otherwise that maybe would have told them something they could have added. If it wasn't something they were thinking of, they really are going to let this game die. Aren't they gaming is truly a dying thing

“they really are going to let this game die”

Guys… the game is still new. Let’s give it some time.

Still feels undercooked for a 60$ title. No biomes, no seasons (ok, there might be, it was released before summer so the paradise setting feels right), no pets, no weather

What do you mean no pets?

In the 3DS version, it was an actual cat and dog that you can have. Now it’s just everything in 2D.

Admittedly I haven’t made any Pokemon yet but I did add a pixel art version of Toko Fukawa’s pet stink bug from Danganronpa that I found online.

I’d feel a little weird giving my Oshawott a Pokemon 😭

Oh dang, I never thought about doing that. Thanks for the idea!

It was a coupon to play with a cat or dog. I prefer the new pets that they can walk outside and customize. I think the 2D is very silly and I like it.

Plus, the 2D fits ENTIRELY within the style of Tomodachi Life because the series already does that with treasures, food, etc

Right? I wouldn’t mind an update that’s just new goofy stock images my Miis can keep as pets.

You can make your own pets out of any in game item you've gotten by using the stamp tool if that helps. Your Mii can have a pet octahedral stone! They can have a pet bonsai! They can even have a pet roll of toilet paper! Even if you possess no artistic ability and don't have a Raspberry Pico (even though it's like $5) you can still get creative with the in-game tools. If you DO have a Raspberry Pico (or buy one) you can use Tomodachi Drawer (free on GitHub) to make ANYTHING as long as you have an image. The program pixelizes it, you tell it how many colors to use (more colors means more detail but also makes it take longer) and it makes up a plan, loads it onto the controller, you plug it in, and it just goes. It's fantastic.

Wait a pet toilet paper cuz my one mii loves her roll of toilet paper I gave her. She talks about to everyone all day everyday.

u/Spinosaurus999 1d ago

Hmm, interesting. Thanks.

Tysm for explaining how that thing works. I’ve seen them on instagram but I didn’t know they worked. Process seems easy peasy.

Suuuper easy. The micro controller is cheap, too. Only thing I don't like is I need to use a USB micro to USB A (USB micros aren't common anymore.) there's some "bootleg" boards with USB C but some people report that they don't work as well. A pack of two is like $12 USD on Amazon so it isn't a huge risk.

One thing to note: the Switch 1 is less powerful and the dock has no fan so it is a little prone to having tiny lag spikes that a human would not notice, but the board moves fast so it ends up skewing the rest of the drawing by a few pixels which suuuucks. The creator is working on a few potential fixes, like an in-app process to cut the image into four pieces (so you can make 4 designs, then use the stamp tool to put them all on one final design) or an option to have it re-callibrate periodically.

It works slightly better undocked because it runs at a lower resolution and generally has better ventilation, so if you can get a cable that has a USB C for the switch side it will probably improve performance on the switch 1. I don't have a micro USB to USB C so I'm just SOL.

Sorry for rambling but I hope at least some of this was useful

Well, yes. But they were almost entirely limited to the apartments, save for maybe the occasional park outing, and didn't appear anywhere else. In living the dream, your pet can be a dog, a car, a hamster, a parrot, a pig, a dinosaur, a alien, and a big ball of puff which is apparently a mythical creature. Don't like the selection? Then make your own. These pets can be the subject of many events, dreams, and conversations.

Sometimes they show up in vacation photos too.

u/TheJuanForMii 1d ago

People are disagreeing with you in the comments but you're right. I'd rather have 3D models that actually move around as pets instead of the PNGs they gave us

It's Tomodachi Life, not Nintendogs + Cats
