Tomodachi Life 3DS Soundtrack Now Streaming on Nintendo Music App for Switch Online Subscribers

Nintendo has marked a new milestone for fans of its quirky life simulation series by launching the complete Tomodachi Life 3DS soundtrack on the official Nintendo Music app.

This move comes hot on the heels of last week’s special Nintendo Direct, which spotlighted the upcoming title 'Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream' for Nintendo Switch.

The original Tomodachi Life first released in the West for Nintendo 3DS in 2014, quickly becoming a cult favorite for its unique blend of humor, social simulation, and the signature Mii characters. The newly released soundtrack brings an impressive collection of 210 tracks, amassing over three hours and 45 minutes of memorable music from the beloved 3DS entry.

Key pieces include well-known tunes such as “Afternoon on the Island” and “Mii Apartments,” alongside many more deep cuts that longtime fans will recognize.

Nintendo promoted the release by inviting players to relive the island nostalgia, stating through its official channels that songs from the beloved 3DS game Tomodachi Life are now available via the Nintendo Music app.

The company emphasized that highlights from the game’s lively and quirky score await listeners, fostering both nostalgia and excitement for the series’ next steps. The score was crafted by two notable composers: Daisuke Matsuoka—recently credited for his music in the upcoming title Donkey Kong Bananza—and Asuka Itō, a former Nintendo composer whose credits span a variety of major 3DS projects.

Their lively, distinct musical style became a hallmark of Tomodachi Life’s playful charm, further rooting the game as a beloved entry within Nintendo’s portable library. Access to the Tomodachi Life soundtrack requires an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

The Nintendo Music app, available for mobile platforms, continues to expand its curated offerings by adding titles that celebrate the company’s gaming heritage.

This release not only enhances the value of Nintendo Switch Online but also serves as a timely celebration of Tomodachi Life’s enduring popularity, especially as the anticipation builds for the upcoming Switch installment, 'Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream,' set for launch in April 2024.
