Thirteen years after the original Tomodachi Life debuted on Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo has revived the franchise on Nintendo Switch with Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream and support content arriving via the Nintendo Music service.
Alongside the new game release, Nintendo Music has added ten tracks sourced from the Switch entry, making a portion of the title's soundtrack available to listeners on the platform.
Background and franchise context
Tomodachi Life began as a Nintendo 3DS title, first released in Japan in 2013 and followed by international releases in 2014.
The series is developed and published by Nintendo and centers on Mii characters living and interacting on a shared island.
The new Switch release continues that premise while bringing updated customization and system features suited to current Nintendo Switch hardware.

Mii News: News Flash
These additions expand Nintendo Music’s catalog of in-game music from Nintendo franchises and allow fans to experience portions of the game’s audio library outside the title itself.
Rewritten notable statements in journalistic form
Fans have waited 13 years for a return to the Tomodachi Life series; Nintendo’s new Switch entry brings that long-awaited follow-up in both game form and accompanying digital soundtrack content.
Nintendo has made ten tracks from the new title available on Nintendo Music to coincide with the franchise’s reappearance on Nintendo Switch.
Confirmed game features and community response
According to publisher notes and platform documentation, Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream introduces expanded Mii customization options and island-shape layout controls.
The Switch entry also allows players to form same-sex relationships between Miis for the first time in series history.
Community feedback has noted dissatisfaction with certain omissions compared to the 3DS original — in particular, the inability to share Miis online and the absence of the previous game’s concert hall.
Those points have been raised by players and reported in coverage, and Nintendo has not announced permanent changes or a timeline for returning any prior features.
Where to find it
Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream and its soundtrack additions are referenced on Nintendo’s digital storefront and public update notes.
Players seeking the new music can access the added tracks through the Nintendo Music service; those interested in the game should consult the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch for purchase and download details.
