That's right 3. If Nintendo isn't going to make Tomodachi Life 2, then I'll just make it up myself! After the Adeline and Dreams videos killed, I decided to do the mayor trend in Tomodachi Collection Content: Designing A sequel to Tomodachi Life For The Switch. Featuring a whole Custom Model, internal footage of Tomodachi Life's model's and systems, I think this is the ultimate video imagining tomodachi life 2. Or 3 I guess… These are my Tomodachi Life 2 Ideas, concepts, speculations, and hopes. Enjoy!

Quick Note! I've covered almost EVERY SINGLE mii game in my channel, including ones that are almost undocumented online. Please do pass by my channel and hit those videos up, as it helps me get closer to making this a full time job, before it's too late. Thanks for watching :3 Also~, I completely made a mistake about the photo studio. I forgot it while making the 3D model and never wrote down the message in the video, but it SHOULD still be there, it was originaly next to the interior shop and I misinterpreted my own doodle. I guess I wanted to put it where the gazebo is but the doodle was far too messy. The photo studio should remain in the game, working like the Mii photo studio from Miitomo, and the Photography hobby would go attached to it. I'd go further and make it so that backdrops come from pictures your mii took with the camera gift, or just passively while hobbyist practice. But I'd set aside some backgrounds that don't need unlock, or unlock simply by having Photography miis.
PLEASE Remake this video again
i actually really like the voice approach they took in tomodachi life. if they were too close to their actual voices, it'd feel uncanny when you're creating yourself or people you know, and hearing a completely different person would also feel weird? so the fact that they're a bit squeaky and unnatural is something i greatly appreciate
I mean, some of the voices I suggested, I tested exculssively to find stuff that's unnatural, so I completely agree! It'd be so weird to hear smooth voices, they have to be voices that sound good but struggle to pronounce some things. Hence why I said using more base voices with heavier libraries on the same system. "Take a look inside my head" would sound perfect with some voices, and them completely silly with another. It's funny.
Honestly i don’t mind realistic voices that sound too close
Buddy u have not been playing this game correctly and it shows lol
@@Zombina638 thanks for doing the classic "you're not playing the game right" gamer move. can't believe i'm meeting one in the wild. taking pictures right now cause i'm so amazed by your presence
My only problem with your new island it’s a bit hard to see where everything is, when I first looked at your version of the island i could t find things that I were looking for I’d also probably add more contrast between the buildings and the land maybe add a colored border around each place could make it easier to see where everything is. Also a little less trees
Maybe yeah with the trees. Remember, 360 control, the only thing in the island that is hard ish to find is the talent development kiosk. I agree about the contrast tho, I went a bit too bright to match the Nintendo style, I think I did an alright job for my first attempt.
i wouldnt say remove the foliage, but tone down the contrast a little bit. all the different colors was a little confusing to look at additionally, i think the original tomodachi islands did a great job at that :)
Oh, I think that can be fixed with some clickable floating nametags? So that you know where to look. Just an idea tho! As for the graphical style I always thought that it was just a draft, so nothing great in terms of lighting, contrast etc...
I get where you're coming from and feedback is best, cos I'd actually love him to find a way to release this since well, the alternative is nothing, literally nothing at all. Nintendo just abandoned this, so why not someone with passion for the IP do a spiritual successor in everything but name? In that case I'd also want to see their own artistic style shine through rather than try to purely imitate it. Like I said though, I agree with you that some things could be adjusted for clarity or quality of life, but it's difficult trying to cater to everyone as well as maintain your artistic style and vision. Basically let him cook lol
ENA SHINONOME SPOTTED
LOVE the addition of the school. One idea I had for a school in Tomodachi is for different school events to be happening every single weekday, such as gym, art, poetry, etc, but on Fridays, if you pop into class, you'll have to take a test. These questions can be based on random things for Islanders have said to you, or just kind of nonsense questions in general. If you pass the quiz, you get a special prize
Ooo, I do like the idea of weekly games that depend on the player recurrently playing.
I always wanted Tomodachi games to just, expand possibilities and stuff to do. It wouldn't be that hard and add more incentive to play new entries in the franchise.
Also, interesting quote at 20:30 in the sleeping part... It would just be missing an "-o"
Nintendo's sleeping. This shit would sell more than well.
This would be like my DREAM for this to get a sequel lol. Also amazing concept for a sequel!
Ey thanks. It's my dream even harder. A game I love plus the cool content I could make about it? Sign me up!!
I think they'll probably make a sequel, tomodachi life was very popular and when miitopia came to switch, it got more popular; it'd be great for Nintendo to make a sequel/remake. Although, I don't think they'd make it for the switch, they should come out with a new handheld or for a new system if they make another soon
i def think when making miis, you should be able to map out family trees to both your look alike and miis unrelated to you and their relations (i.e. siblings, parents, grandparents, maternal, paternal, half, step). as well as age limitations on love interests. a big criticism i had of life was the unintentional incest that would happen, especially since a lot of my residents were of my family members
Hard agree. Big time.
I think there should be a free roam mode, you would play as your first mii's lookalike, and just roam the island
Would be kinda pointless, particularly because they would need to use a way more detailed model. Either way the model isn't supposed to be 1:1 with the teorical actual island, as it is in life.
I LOVE THE NAME! Since the original is called "Friend Collection" and the 2nd was called "Friend Life" it would make sense for it to be "Friend Companions"
Friend Friends for the win.
Amigos! Amiigos! A- 0_0 Amiibos!!! Aaaa!!! I figured it out!!! (Actualy I knew since day one lmao)
@@ajbanimatedstudios5014 WHAT!??!?!?!
If tomodachi life dosen't get a sequel/threequel in the next four years i will eat my shoe.
And I'll join you, proudly.
I hope Nintendo makes a Tomodachi Life sequel and use your ideas. All of your ideas were very creative and fun.
Even without my ideas, I'd take it. Can't go wrong with more tomodach.
Going back here again because I noticed you're pretty responsive, but I feel as if the family and baby system could be reworked so it feels a lot more fleshed out. I felt a problem with this whole system is that there weren't enough unique interactions across family members, and I also felt the only Miis who ever acknowledged a baby's existence were their parents and whoever visited them (not even their siblings, a totally missed opportunity). For general family mechanics: - We should get the ability to manually set familial relationships between Miis (excluding romantic partners) and I'm surprised why this was never the case from the start. It could be streamlined to siblings, parents, and other relatives (grandparents, cousins etc.) but this change would be SUPER helpful as an anti-incest mechanic and for immersion (both for real-life family and fictional characters). - Admittedly I don't know how to fully differentiate familial relationships that much from standard ones (especially sibling relationships)., but I think siblings could be able to introduce friends to each other automatically or rub off on each other a lot more if their relationship level is high. Now onto babies and children specifically: - I feel like there could be more individual behavioural quirks among babies depending on their personality group/type such as: ** Easygoing babies could be more timid and emotional. They would cry more easily, but also be the most appreciative of affection. ** Outgoing/Energetic and Confident babies could demand more of your attention and generally be a bit more vocal and lively. ** Independent/Reserved babies would generally have the flattest expressions overall, and would hardly emote or vocalize (this also means they'd cry the least often of all babies). - Older siblings would actually be more proactive in raising their younger siblings alongside their parents (instead of going out to buy milk and never returning), generally having similar interactions with the babies as their parents but also some more unique interactions. They'd even call you like the parents do if they need help calming the baby down. - Other Miis who are friends with a baby's parents or siblings would actually acknowledge the baby's existence in both their dialogue and interactions. - Parents and siblings would be able to introduce babies to their friends. They could be able to befriend grown child Miis early on, as well as other babies (I'd also imagine babies/toddlers would have unique interactions with each other, too). - Babies/toddlers who are on the last stages before being fully grown will be able to speak to you and have actual dialogue, though a bit more limited compared to fully grown Miis. They should also be able to inherit some of their family members' given phrases, maybe mimicking them every so often. - Tying into your other ideas, older siblings might introduce younger siblings to hobbies or have other interactions like helping them out with homework or doing nice things for their parents. - From an actual player interaction perspective, I don't know what could be added or reworked. Maybe there could be things like toys or other activities/minigames to do with the baby. - Actual consequences if you go out of your way to intentionally make a baby cry and then leave (the problem would be how the game would know if your actions were on purpose or intentional, like how parents will get mad at you for shaking a baby violently), like the family members chewing you out and making you calm the baby down (like the normal calls). - There'd also need to be some means of implementing Explorers without StreetPass, something I'm drawing blanks on. And some miscellaneous changes to throw in as a bonus: -A third Mii age stage, Teen, would slot in between Kids and Grown-ups and encompass any Mii within the 13-17 age range. To be honest, the main reason why I bring up this idea is so that teens would only enter romantic relationships with each other for the same reasons kids and grown-ups certainly don't get romantically involved with each other. The fact an 9 year old and a 15 year old could date at all is incredibly creepy and both parties being minors does not change this.
Y'know what, I think I could just straight up make one big document in my spare time on how to address the "Tomodachi sequel" concept.
I also feel like your taking away a lot of the randomness and simplicity the game is built on. I don’t think each mini should have some routine or hobbies besides the stuff that’s given after each level. Giving each mii a routine just makes the player think about too many things and strategize for each day and Id just want have a very casual experience above everything. Tomodachi life for me is game I can just go on at any time(well not every time because my 2ds’s battery has to be charged manually to work because I broke my 2ds last year at school) and just vibe Id want the only thing I have to worry about are love problems and the night market. These are just my personal opinions and I’m no game designer so I’m sorry if this is dumb
Nah, you good. I guess I didn't put across well enough that you can just hop in and play. miis having a schedule doesn't stop them from having troubles and loves and stuff, so most of the features I propose here are all about the miis you choose to put in the island. It's all about giving incentive for having tons of miis. More miis, the easier it is to hop on and have a variety of activities. The real strategy is "what miis should I set up together", something which you already do in TL simply because it's fun. I think they are good changes, but some tweaks can totally help.
i agree too tbh, i love the randomness and simplicity, that’s why i love the game
I love the idea of making the miis and the world they live in be a little more vibrant and inserting more stuff to do without making the core game too complex. The thing about Tomodachi Life 2 is that I felt as if the charm of the game wore off once I saw everything the game had to offer. With this approach, I can see me still being entertained even after unlocking everything, and perhaps even extending the speed in which you unlock features throughout the island. And I especially love the idea of toning down the localization/westernization, making the game more unapologetically Japanese will help the "weird" factor of these games be more prominent and may even present an educational opportunity. Of course certain things would still have to be localized for the sake of not alienating an audience but? I dont know, its a balancing act and as long as you're able to get the general idea of something it should be fine. Overall I find the look of the island and a few of the new features interesting and I so wish Nintendo could give us a game that had even a quarter of this. Obviously the pitch isnt perfect and youd realistically would need to touch up some of the UI visuals with a team if this were a genuine production, but id otherwise 100% play this as-is.
I'm mostly a programmer, so yeah, give the art team my concepts and let them do the magic.
Holy shit this video needs more views!! I love the fact that you try to bring new concepts and ideas while still keeping the vibe of TL that made it so endearing, Nintendo LISTEN TO THIS MAN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Nintendo HQ be like: "What the fuck is a 'companion'? Is that an insult? Myamoto we need to make a game with more toads *takes a 21 week long vacation because of old age*"
i vote you can force miis who dislike each other to share a house for the sake of entertainment
Hahahaha, that would work really well if the miis invited their friend over when their housemate doesn't get along with the invited Mii, that would be so good hahaha.
Honestly i agree with everything in this video bar the mii limits - personally i really enjoy how players of miitopia could have *any* character they wanted, especially because a lot of popular characters are non-human, so adding that limitation would just add too much frustration for too many people - nintendo couldnt just take a step down like that imo.
This is a fair point. I think you can already do most of them with 40 pieces, but I sound unsure because people do enjoy the editor with 100 pieces.
@@SmashedTomatoes that is definitely true! Personally I haven't experimented much with the miitopia makeup system besides adding some custom eyes and such. But 100 pieces would be much more realistic :)
I kinda wish you could change the skin color of the rest of the body instead of just the head
@@dljb7463 hm was that an issue? Surprised I didn't notice, in miitopia the majority of my cast were poc or black, so I'm pretty surprised I didn't notice that! That would certainly need to be carried over
@@Vexmus_ its only an issue if you are using a skin tone that isnt one of the default mii ones, you can change the nose and head color but the body wont change aswell, which can look odd at times.
Respect for taking the effort of making that 3D island
Thanks, it was difficult. Particularly getting it to render.
Great concept! I like the idea of daily routines on the island and being able to see what your Miis are up to. Though I don’t think limiting makeup options is a good idea. I love the charm of the old Mii Maker, but the accurate Miis seen in Miitopia made a lot more characters possible. Players still have the option to use less makeup if they prefer simpler Miis and more makeup if they like realistic Miis. Plus, I don’t see Nintendo limiting their makeup options after making such a diverse and well-received system in Miitopia.
I just think it's too much makeup, 100 pieces lets you make miis that are so accurate, you can't leave anything to the imagination. That's why I made makeup options 40 instead of 100, because it allows for miis to be accurate without overblowing the miis. It came to a point where people didn't use the miitopia editor because they couldn't hope to do something cooler than someone else, so you'd end up getting Mii artists and people who just download those miis. I kinda liked seeing a Mii I didn't quite like and figuring out how to make them more accurate. But I see what you mean, and it's not a deal breaker if Nintendo follows either path, both have advantages and disadvantages.
bro really said "I guess i'll do this by myself"
Only the first steps, but yeah
6:49 Nintendo... KIDS don't date adults... IN ANY REGION...
It should be true tho.
Definitely
This video was incredibly well made and was an absolute blast to watch! Love all of your ideas soooo much, especially the hobbies! Nintendo needs to hire u fr fr
Eh, I'd take super giant or devolver hehehe. I would be a terrible fit at nintendo, my extent of japanese knowhow is when the anime character goes "NAANIIIII"
I love all these ideas they definitely would bring life to the island (hobbies especially) imo tho more icons in the apartments would be cool too (hunger having its own icon, miis wanting to break up would have a broken heart icon instead of a friend one, and so on)
I thought about adding that to my mock, but I rendered the first 2 or 3 shots early, so I couldn't. Not like it would add much, it's cool to have the suspense of "what is it?" before you go into the mii's apartment, I think.
I absolutely love Tomodachi Life, I really hope that another game gets made of it! This video is really well done, I love all of your ideas (and to bring the everybody votes channel back is definitely a good choice!) I’d love a more detailed game, more customizable, and adding a school and workplace leads to more wacky surreal things that could happen there. And the houses are Beautiful, I love how you made their layout look nicer! Good job! And great video
Thanks! Making that island tool forever, but it came out really well!
@@SmashedTomatoes took lol. fyi im not trying to be rude
Even if there are things I disagree with, this was great! I think the way I would've handled makeup is to be one of the things you can unlock for a Mii after they level up. When leveling up your Mii again after unlocking makeup, you can unlock more features or expand the limit of items. That way, you can sacrifice simplicity to get more features if you really want to by working for it. Also the option to customize the apartment building and other buildings like that.
Codes would break unlocking too much of it tho, why would you level up a stat if you can use codes to download a Mii which should be available from the very beginning? It's a balance that I didn't fully figure out as it was a minor thing.
This is without a doubt the best Tomodachi Life 3 idea video I've seen, I can clearly see how much effort and time you put into this. Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to kill all the other ones hehehehe.
This is awesome! Would you still be able to call Miis even if they're at work? Or would it be like the sims, where it registers them as missing a day? It'd be kind of funny to have a sequence where a Mii gets fired
Too much realism. You'd just talk to them like normal, but they'll be in the break room at their job instead of at their apartment.
11:51 bro used one of the gazebo models from toontown online. i love that.
I spotted a cool gazebo in Kingdom Hearts BBS and tried finding it. Got the next best thing.
Wow that map concept looks amazing, id love it if we got something like that
Sure would be awesome. I really wonder what they will go for whenever THEY do it...
im a little late but this man is amazing like ive never seen anybody literally make a model like this for a concept like u are amazing and i hope nintendo takes some notes bc my childhood needs to be not forgotten
You should check out my video on the obscure Mii games. Sorta went brrrrr with the 3D animations for that
We NEED you 😭😭😭 I pray everynight for a tomodachi life 3. It’s time!! The DS and 3DS aren’t as accessible for many people anymore due to the stop in making them. I hope your career as a game designer goes 100% because this is beyond amazing! Your so so so talented. Tysm for bringing back some memories in this video and giving me some hope for the future ❤❤
Lmao, I don't think I'm that good! I'm just good at expressing my ideas. But really, they need to make Tomodachi 3 already!! NINTENDO PLEEEEASE!
this video is really well done and well thought out! i cant even explain how much i want another tomodachi game (specifically with the miitopia makeup stuff). nintendo should straight up hire you i think, because i would buy this game in a heartbeat and play it a potentially unhealthy amount.
Nintendo should not hire me, I donno japanese. My knowledge of it extends to anime characters going "DONDAKEEEE"
I know this could have its flaws, but what if you had an option in the settings to walk around the island to get to places instead of clicking it? Again, it would be optional, but walking around the island would make it so cool! And you could see miis doing what they do at the park when they aren’t home
You'd need to model the island entirely different for that to work, and even then, tomodachi life's game flow works better through screens. It would be such a notable feature, you'd have redesign some of the game around it.
Someone HIRE this man. the amount of creativity is impecible. I doubt nintendo would go with this style but this genuinely shocks me at how high quality it is. Just imagine 100%ing this game. It'd take MONTHS due to the amount of things u can do. this deserves MUCH more views then it already has. well done indeed
Thanks! I hope someone does hire me if push comes to shove and KZhead doesn't work out. I'd have so much fun and pain 100% something like this, but it would be so worthwhile! Thanks for watching!!
It be great if a history museum was in the game. Referencing Collection, Life, and dare I say Wuhu island aswell. Not only that, but if a Mii has a pet, on the walks they should totally take their dog with them on a timely basis. Perhaps after work or at some point in the afternoon. Or the mii could ask you to walk the dog for him/her! With gameplay similar to Nintendogs. (An experiment to see if people react well to the gameplay) this will gigw nintend an idea of how people feel about nintendogs Adding to that, the park should have a dog section! Oh that would be amazing! Another idea is changng tomodachi quest to a bite sized miitopia minigame at the fair. Accessed exactly where that smug face machine is. (Nice reference) Just one full level with a battle or two in it and a final more larger battle at the end with 4 miis and the jobs are randomized. That would be helarious! Btw. Any manner the buildings will be unlocked? Like say: the theatre will be unlocked once a mii lies to someone else or something. Or the dog park will unlock when 2 miis have dogs. That and also an idea for the school: it will unlock once a kid is born OR an under aged mii enters the island. That way the school isnt entirely dependant on Mii babies. And a few events that culd be added can be Wii Sports references. A Sword fight mingame could be played OR bowling maybe? All of the sport minigames happen at the fair. I understand if this comment gets overviewed but it be awesome if you culd provide feedback upon this idea.
Some of these would be a little expensive on production, but they are neat ideas. For example, I wouldn't return an RPG based minigame like Quest, but having more minigames that are relatively fleshed out available at different hours and weekdays is an idea I get behind a lot. Actually, I imagined the dogs playing at the ruins, but it could be cool if miis themselves could choose. The museum would have to be relegated to the art gallery in the shardish building. Well, I know some unlock criteria for stuff, such as: Mii Housing: Have best friends / a couple move in together. Second apartment building: Have more than 30 Miis. Theater: 3 miis getting a mutual friendship or a mii developing the music/film hobby to level 3. Fountain / Restaurant: Have a mii ask another out. Campsite: Finish the initial tutorial. that kind of stuff.
@@SmashedTomatoes that's fair. Ngl though the friends moving together idea is pretty cool! Instead of lovey-dovey situations you can see them playing together on a game console multi-player. They have the wii/wii u/switch to choose from in terms of games to play together. And hearing the sounds the consoles make just bring memories to my brain I love it! Wii: wii sports/resort Wii u: nintendo land Ds: collections sfx as a reference 3ds: life as a reference, or they could be playing street pass mii plaza togwther if they both have a 3ds. And sfx would be a cool nostalgia trip to those who grew up with the 3ds Switch: Mario oddesey or maker/Switch Sports/Go Vacation (if they get permission to use the sfx) Just little background situations I think would be charming to see the miis experiance. Plus, if the game is seen to have amazing numbers in sales, I'm sure the budget could increase atleast a little. Just to polish a couple things and add more. Edit: And custom clothing would be amazing! Similar to animal crossing new horizons and its custom shirts!
This is so important to me
Imagine me!, just look at the view count of this compared to my usual videos.
You. Made a whole 3d world of your concept. Wow.
Yes I did... Yes I did...
I think it would be cool if mii news would involve mii's hobbies like say "Peter Griffin's Art Gallery is open!" or something like that
Oh yeah, that's definitely a feature that should be a given.
@@SmashedTomatoes And you could actually visit Peter Griffin's art gallery or see Quandale Dingle's concert
@@forkwithasuit "Quandale Dingles concert" is SENDING me💀
The photo studio is for digital photos you take with your miis you dont take photos with the camera, Also, I think the makeup limitations would just make people angry.
I put a text up later that I messed it up, and the photo studio should probably still be there. Even made a note about the way it would work like miiphotos in Miitomo iirc. People would cope with the make up, they bought the hell out of animal crossing despite being terribly lackluster. 40 already allows you for some craaaazy miis, just ones that have proper eyes, noses and mouths.
OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for making this it’s so awesome and you put a lot of effort into making this I really like all your ideas and concepts especially the one where you can customise your miis like in Miitopia! I really hope they do end up making another game but all we can do for now is hope! I’m also glad more people are talking about how there should be another game.
Now if only nintendo used their ears for once...
20:59 "Cuche avec moi"... im scared now. Also, WOAH YOU PUT SO MUCH EFFORTS INTO THIS AWESOME VIDEO! THAT'S IMPRESSIVE, GOOD JOB! And i love all your ideas, i really hope there will be a new Tomodachi game
Thanks! I hope so as well, since it's just an awesome franchise and a fun af game!
Nice! But I feel like u missed something, that something being the family rework. Relationships need to have a lot more features, and a lot more options for dating. When proposing, things should also be upgraded. In homes, we should definitely be able to see our miis doing dishes, and other things like that. For kids, we should definitely see them doing a lot more activities by themselves and with the parents. We should also be able to see them interacting with other miis at school and stuff. Idk, that’s just me ig
Not you at all, I'd like to see families get a rework like that, with more family events. I focused more on the mechanics than the events, but it totally should happen.
this is genuinely so cool, there are so many opportunities for a sequel and i love this game so i love tomodachi life. I hope they make a new one. it would also be super cool, you were talking about a mii losing an item, what if you had to find it somewhere on the island that would also keep the silliness of the original game when you find someones cell phone on the roof of a skyscraper
Yeah, that'd be funny X3 Until you find something weird like a rope at the office or a shoe on the beach :c
This is very detailed. I would love this! Great job!
Glad you liked it.
I have a really cool, albeit pretty ambitious idea for the music hall: What if, when you max out a mii's music skill, you can just full on make your own songs. Of course theres gonna be limitations, like instrument quality, but what if we got the ability to pick a genre (that would determine what instruments are used) and edit individual notes for each instrument. Example, for rock you can edit the melodies/rhythms for guitar 1, guitar 2, electric bass, and drums. Add lyrics on top of those, and change the rhythms and pitches for each syllable, and badaboom. It might be a bit much but you could have the ability to make really funny songs, or bangers too. It could be like a miniature beepbox
That would be hilarious, but definately too ambitious. There IS the possibility of someone at Nintendo having a tech demo of that that could be implemented into the game tho, We'd have to count ourselves extremely lucky in that case tho.
There are a couple things I would add just to make the island more interesting: 1: Volcano / Other Natural Disasters (no, no mii dies from them dw, but buildings might need to be repaired which should take half an hour at max) 2: Spahouse (basically another place for your miis to relax in, having all the standards for a luxury spahouse) 3: Pet store ( your miis should now have permanent pets that you can customize too, imagine the frisbee dog from wii sports but you can customize it) That’s all I’ve got to say, feel free to comment other ideas
Natural disasters have no place in tomodachi, and the spahouse is better as a fake space like the ones I put in the news tower. The pet store could be, permanent pets would muddle the experience with miis too much, plus it would mean you'd need to focus more on the pets, which means more development time on very minor features. I wouldn't add it, but it could be a good addition for a later game / DLC.
@@SmashedTomatoes I have to disagree with some of what you said, natural disasters are just a fact of life. Maybe it’s stuff that happens in the background like a stormy day where miis are forced to stay inside. As far as the pets go? i would limit it to customization and your miis are the ones taking care of their pets like responsible owners, at most they might ask for cash to buy them a toy or outfit
I would also really like if they added a "costum gender" option for ppl out of the binary where you could write on your prefered pronouns and your gender, then in the statistics they could put "other" or smtg
Yeah, that should probably go, Tomodachi is about the only game that could have voiced pronouns.
the new game should definitely let you when making mii’s decide their gender and sexuality, they could just word it like “I am a -> Guy/Girl/Neither/Whatever. I like -> Guys/Girls/Doesn’t Matter”
hard pass
Amazing video you got there, the visuals were really well accomplished, and the Mii behaviours and schedules is a really good thing imo, as well as the housing diversity and customization. A thing that could be great for me is a return and ampliation of travel boats in the pier, using the Internet and letting all your Miis be able to travel and move to other player's islands. Ofc that would be their own idea, so if a Mii wasn't feeling right on the island (if they had a strong break up for example) they would come to you and ask to move to another island, and you could either accept their petition or decline it. In case you accepted, the Mii would apply for citizenship in other islands. To get migrant Miis you would need go to the Town Hall and accept citizenship requests from other Miis, and in a positive case they would get an apartment like any other resident and start living there. And Miis could also return to their native island with a partner, a full or with friends from the other island they lived in. This allows for more Mii mobility and a more organic and realistic Tomodachi universe in which all player's islands are truly connected.
I'd love that until Nintendo Online Membership goes Brrrr. But you're not kidding, Tomodachi 3 should have multiplayer features, whether it's sending miis to others or simply visiting and taking care of their miis while they are away. That'd go very hard.
This 3D model is REALLY impressive! I would love to have a closer look at it! Also small note from an Game Animation Student: Maybe use stronger Keyframe Interpolation for the camera, and also avoid quick camera rotations specifically, especially if you don't center them around a point of reference, as those tend to cause motion sickness. I know that yes, having a everything in one very long dolly ride is really cool, and helps with making the island feel connected, but sometimes, hard cuts might be a better choice. If you want to somewhat keep the continuity, you can make the different shots include items from the prior shot in a prominent position, to establish the physical proximity that way. (My animation lecturer always scolded my projects for exactly that, so I just thought that maybe, this might be a helpful to you, too.)
Hahaha, you can actually see it how I started using hard cuts later on and the shots become a little nicer. I was really just trying to find interesting ways to show the model, not really trying to create an animation or anything. That said, you are very right! I use a lot more cuts in my animations that have characters and stuff exactly because of that. Good luck with your studies!!
Since 5/2 2023 i installed tomodachi collection on my melon-ds and i love it! This is my first streak of your videos, and this is the third! ya boy needs more subs and likes
Hahaha, do watch my content on other things if you want to help! Have a lot of fun with collection, it is smaller, but also very cute!
For the mii editor part, I understand wanting to make sure it's simple early on so that it isn’t overwhelming, but it would be pretty annoying to have to wait to unlock more face details. I found it really annoying that I had to collect hair dye in Tomodachi Life in order to color my miis' hair beyond natural colors, especially since most of the miis I made were anime characters who would have hair colors that don't match up well to the natural hair colors. I ended up editing my save file just to dye their hair because it would've taken forever to get hair dye for everyone otherwise. I guess locking the more advanced mii editor features behind a single upgrade instead of something that has to be done per mii or per item would minimize annoyance, but yeah
Yeah, it would be like the unlocks to start the game, so by the time you have 10 miis, all the options should be unlocked. Maybe I'd give the makeup kit it's own set of unlocks to make it more interesting as a gift, but yeah! It's more so intended to teach people how to use the mii editor slowly.
You know,these "Lets make a sequel" videos are always fun to watch, but it's VERY EASY for me to start questioning or complaining some of the choices and changes (specifically if those changes are too drastic), but damn dude, you knock it out of the park! Besides the island looking a bit too cluttered for my taste, i have ZERO complains, if this was word for word the game i would buy it in a heartbeat. As a mii fanatic myself, hats off to you.
Also thank you for not dwelling on the whole same sex relationships and gender discussion for too long, i get it, it something that they definitely should add, but it always felt like it's the ONLY thing people talk about, when you need so much more than that to make a TL sequel.
I knew I was gonna focus for 12 hours on the island, so I figured just mentioning the gender stuff quickly was best. There's many other important things I mention quickly because explaining the reasoning behind them was only going to be tedious and boring to watch. I'm glad you liked my ideas, it makes me glad to see people appreciate my game design addiction.
so glad tomodachi life is getting talked about by people maybe we can literally get this into Nintendo's head. HELLLLP I'M SO FLIPPIN IMPATIENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TOMODACHI LIFE 2 FOR AGES NOW NINTENDO GOD HELP ME I'M SO HOPELESS I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. Hello everybody and welcome back to I typed a comment at midnight.
Did I NOT say 3 like 3 times? I need it in my life too, I'm just better at pretending everything is fine when I go outside.
I love tomodachi life, and your ideas for a sequel are pretty good! There is a lot about it that I myself don’t really care for like the map being too cluttered, some hobbies just being jobs, and the whole skill thing. I feel like the miis should progress on their own with little help from the player. Even though i have a couple complaints, overall it’s a good idea and I would totally buy it if it did come out :)
It's just a matter of seeing what Nintendo will do if they do.
the cult of the lamb ost at the beginning 😍 (btw love your little character's design :D) don't mind me commenting 1 year left -_-'
I'm glad you like the lamb and my design hehehe. I like chosing music for my videos carefully
WOAH BRO YOU REALLY PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN THIS!! this is amazing seriously, I love it, this would be the PERFECT sequel to tomodachi life :) if something like this came out, I would buy the switch just to play this tbh
Glad I made such a good concept. Here's hoping Nintendo delivers...
This is a great concept for a sequel! I'm craving Tomodachi life for the switch! Also the island model in the video looks awesome!
I'm craving more tomodachi too. I'm also craving food. I'm hungry.
I really love the ideas and presentation here! I would′ve appreciated some subtitles since your speech is admittedly a bit too fast and hard to understand at times, but I got the gust of what you′re saying. I loved Tomodachi Life, but it′s biggest issue is that you can see all of it very quickly, making it harder and more boring to go back to, in addition to it′s lack of player agency or interactivity, so this sequel seems to be a major fix! I disagree about limiting Mii customization with makeup and the Miitomo parts, but otherwise I 100% support the structure and mechanics, and would love to play this game if it were real! Congrats on such a great video!
Thanks for watching! Sorry about the speech, it's a really uncommon accent.
Amazing video! It really shows that there was a lot of effort put in!
Thanks, glad ya enjoyed it!
I’ve didn’t played any of the two other games but this idea is really cool. I can’t wait for this video to blow up
Get an emulator and play it? Better yet get a 3DS to play it.
You wete able to replicate the style of the island really good!
Thanks! I wanted to go a little harder and I don't love my grass/dirt, but the feeling of it being cozy and actually livable was more of a focus.
0:21 loved that random marshmallow thing lol, the expressions are great
I'm glad you like Nate and his bjillion sprites.
SO COOL! Well done man, can tell you put a lot of work into this :))
Thanks! I did, probably the most demanding thing I've ever reandered for a video, because usually I keep it low-end so my PC doesn't explode.
hell yeah let's celebrate, even the new island looks beautiful in my opinion, the buildings do seem a bit funky though except for the mii apartments, the food shop, the school (i think it's a school?), and the pier area
Don't celebrate too hard now!
really cool ideas! only thing i would add would be a room customizer, it would make every room feel unique and personalized for that... person.
yeah, but it would also be a pain to set up. Having scattered furniture would be worse than carefully made themed rooms, I think.
I really like this video. Instead of giving ideas only, you took your ideas and implemented into it. It may have taken time however it must gave paid off! Please make another vid about this if you can. Also I like the idea of adding more stuff like the school and the tower thingy as in “life” when you see your miis in the train station, the fancy resteraunt, and the school it really made no sense. Yes it will sell. Amazing video!!!
Glad you like it! I actually can't make any other videos about it because I think the idea is super well painted here, but also because I stole a super computer from my university to render the island model, and I have finished that X3 Maybe I could try making a prototype of it, but it would take so long D:
Oh amazing job on the vid tho!
OMG this is incredible 😮🧡, i really apreciated this
Glad you did! It took a lot of work, so glad people are enjoying it :3
amazing concept for a sequel!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Such cool ideas. Really do hope a new tomodachi life game happens. I’ve been replaying this game for the past 3 months lol
Please Nintendo I'm literally crying and suffering rn I need my Tomodachi Companions
thank you for havimg captions!!!
Hehehe, sorry for being hardish to understand
@@SmashedTomatoes its ok i just have audio processing issues so captions are a big help!!!
To me, the miis went from an island to another by train/underground. Because during the cutscene where 2 miis spend a day together to get closer, you see them waiting in the train station to then go to the amusement park and café.
Yeah but that train station is clearly above ground and even has daylight cycle variants, tho I guess that could work on a sequel, I just wanted an excuse to introduce the concept I had in a way that would make people think "woah that's cool"
great video my friend, they released Miitopia so they are kind of obliged to give us our Tomodachi Life for Switch😂
Oh they are. Not because of miitopia tho, but because I hired real hitmen to ensure the job gets done.
This is such a cool idea, I’d love to play this. It’d be interesting to see how the UI and things like that would be handled, considering the game uses the touch screen a lot more than Miitopia, which transferred to the switch quite well because it was less reliant on the touch screen and the fact the 3ds had 2 screens
I did some mock ups, but it's true Nintendo would user test these things to make sure they are comfortable.
This seems great but I would add a couple things. Number one is a second island next to the main one, Just for an airport. The airport would also have the walking cycles inside of it and will show miis rushing to flights or calmly walking to them.. And to get from the airport island to the main island, there would be an animated ferry that goes from the airport to the main island. This would make the travel tickets/ travelers from other islands way more realistic I’d also add random planes landing and taking off from the runway for realism.. I’d also add a hotel for traveler miis.
That wouldn't be bad, it could work. I like the idea of traveler miis camping, so I donno about the hotel.
I am gonna watch this video whenever I miss playing tomadatchi life 🥺! Good job
Glad you enjoyed it! :3
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I would pay 100 dollars for this!!!!
I would too, but very angrily.
I think u have a very good idea here. I tend to not mind the limitations of the mii maker too much cuz it adds to the personality of the game imo tho it would be cool to have more options.
Limits breed creativity! That's what I always say, although this video is entirely a product of removing the limitations of my underpowered computer X3
Just looking at the thumbnail and title gets me hyped for whats gonna be in this video
That means I did hella good job. Have fun watching?
@@SmashedTomatoes Yeah i love your editing! Also I’m down for this to be the next Tomodachi game
if they added the makeup/wig feature from miitopia and gay marriage to the base version then send it out with no additional changes i would be fine with that ngl
Probably same, but I'd love to see new events and environments.
@@SmashedTomatoesi would too. there are a few things you mentioned that i wouldnt be content with like locking mii parts behind a skill wall + limited makeup. I really like customization and love placing over 20 pieces of makeup on the eyes alone in miitopia and would be upset if they limited that, and while it might be overwelming for new players with all of the mii parts i think it would be better to be able to make characters that look like the people they are made after than be easier to start out. It would be annoying to have to go with a vastly inferior mii until you unlock the parts you need to semi accurately recreate yourself. Other than that though, i feel like all of the features you mentioned would be exellent additions.
@@SmashedTomatoes Honestly, a 1 for 1 remaster would be fine by me.
Omg i LOVE LOVE LOVE the housing district, imagine the lil mii children running around the pathways and playing
You could not see them tho! Unless the miis are on the front yard in one of those big mii homes. it would be pretty cute.
@@SmashedTomatoes I had a thought that once u crossed the bridge it was in first person and you could walk around the village as ur lookalike and interact with the wildlife / families 😭
This is by far the best Design ive seen for tomodachi life on switch
Hey, thanks! That was kinda the goal!
one thing I would love to see that was sadly only implemented into a Fire Emblem game of all things is Biorhythm, essentially deciding the success of certain tasks and activities, essentially bringing in a "good days and bad days" to the game.
Not sure that would work for tomodachi, tho I do think miis who do outside activities would be more likely to have troubles and fights if the weather gets in the way of their hobby practice time.
@@SmashedTomatoes fair 'nuff just something I thought of while watching the video.
This is some good content Keep up the good work :D
Thaaaaaank you
Epic Concept! especially the theatre and wow man I just love the island don't know what else to say
That's fine, it is a cool island
I LOVE THIS!!! The BEST TL3 concept video I've ever seen. I try not to keep my expectations too high seeing how the sports series was treated. But I can't help but imagine how much potential the next TL game has. Awesome work man!
I have a theory that switch sports was just another game, but they tacked miis on top for marketing purposes... I'm glad you enjoyed my concept! It took a long time, but I think it's very creative and could be a good evolution of the franchise. I just hope we do get it...
@@SmashedTomatoes Yeah, and its weird that it took them this long to come out with a new Sports game for the Switch. Also same! I just want to see TL on the Switch already. It should be a no brainer for Nintendo. Miitopia was a hit, why wouldn't they revisit one of their most successful mii game? Hoping in 2023 for a new installment for the Tomodachi games 🙏
One small feature that would be so cool, but unlike (if Nintendo even did make another tomodachi game), but also not have a big use it...being able to watch around the island in a 1st person pov. Kinda like how if you had change an apartment you could take a look around in a 1st person pov. But, just being able to walk around and have a real interaction with your Miis would be cool, or hanging around then while they do stuff.
Part of the problem there is that you'd need to increase the model work a lot. Because the island model is more like an abstract model of the space, you'd need to make the entire island in excruciating detail, AND THEN another model of the place for navegation, which would take away time for developing the mii AI. I think the AI is way more important!
totally unrelated to the video topic but your voice is really pleasant to hear and the way you explain stuff adds to that 😳
Really? I mostly hear the opposite. Glad you enjoy it!
So, I'm looking at this, the only idea I could suggest getting added would be to allow players to transfer islanders from their 3ds to their switch. It probably would be best to just make the switch randomly generate a mii that brings a random item to your island if it receives a mii from your dock. The goal is just to allow compatibility between both games without needing to releasing an update for the 3ds game.
although there are a few things i disagree with (ie limiting the makeup system and removing the old voices) i think this is a really good and well thought out interpretation of a sequel!
I still think the "old voices, newer system" approach is pretty neat. Just adding more accents and voice types can have many cool benefits! Also removing makeup? That'd suck! I meant limiting it, not removing it!! >O
This is a very nice idea! I hope you don’t mind, but I would like to use some of these ideas for a future project that includes making a newer, more modern version of Tomodachi Life in the future ( the very far future, idk how to code games for the switch rn )
Lmao, go ahead!
I wanna code a mock game like this for switch, but things: learn, learn, learn-
i've been subbed to you for a while, you're so underrated.
Yes I am, thanks! You can always share my stuff to help, especially the non-tomodachi stuff, that stuff gets ignored but it's really good.
why is this so well made aaaaaa. Jokes aside, incredible job dude
Because I decided to be as I am and overdo it. Thanks for watching, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have an idea I'd love to see somehow in any kind of follow-up Tomodachi game if anyone would hear me out; I was inspired by the way Animal Crossing kind of works in this, but I morphed it a bit. And that is; having your islanders move away from your island, and so other islanders from other creators that moved away be available to visit/stay at your island. Sometimes when creating mii after mii to spice up life for my islanders, the creative juices run a little dry. I imagine it could be the same for others. Maybe the faces are starting to look similar, maybe some folk just aren't really mii maker types, or they're just bored of making them in general. But I feel like allowing characters that others made who've moved away from their island, and could literally just be walking around your island as a visitor, could be fun! If you interact with them enough, or do favors, things one used to do with how street pass visitors worked... then maybe you could invite them to stay as a resident. It gives a little variety and spontaneity to the gameplay when building your population. That being said, there's still a limit to how many characters you can have on your island, especially if you're the type to keep the kids of your miis. But if miis are coming and going, it's likely to keep things fresh and moving forward, and stopping the player from maxing out anyway. Running with your ideas, maybe you could choose whether or not their hobbies and skill levels carry over when you adopt them into the island. But one thing that could clash on the other hand with your pitch is if the mii coming from someone else had more cosmetic and make-up options unlocked than the player currently does. In my opinion, I would prefer to keep the fleshed out mii maker/make-up editor that Miitopia had, but there could be other work arounds. Just a fun thought!
That last point is easy to fix by not allow editing of these miis, or unlocking the feature after you've unlocked all the options, it shouldn't be a hard thing to do by any means. I would like a mechanic like this tho, getting other people's miis would be fun, tho moderating them could incur extra costs.
Bro u did it soooo much better
the concept of this new game has me wishing nintendo would just make smth like this already lol one thing i would say though is that the camera movement at some points felt a little nauseating at times, especially when movement was rapid or fast paced. just smth to keep in mind for future videos/concepts! otherwise wonderful video!
I learned to use the camera tools as I made this video X3 I have it in mind for future 3D animations.
@@SmashedTomatoes hell yeah!! that's good. looking forward to seeing what you make in the future!
It's 2023! Y'know theres gonna be new games! Let's just hope!
I'm exited to see what nintendo has for us this year, and I'm hoping for this game the most!!
One thing I’d also say for an improvement for MII maker. If they go for the more vanilla feel where you can’t use makeup to make crazy miis they should add more diverse skintones / hair. I mean…the skintone selection is very weak and diverse hair? You got an Afro 3 sets of dreads have fun. And for skintones you overall have 13 tones to pick from, I just wish maybe instead of having a grid to select from you maybe got a slider?? That way you have endless choices to best match your skintone.
I think the wigs from miitopia are good hair options with simplified shading. Miitopia also has the color pick slider, no?
To be honest I disagree with removing the photo studio (or whatever is it called), but I agree with everything else. I would also add that miis could watch a movie in their apartments and/or homes and have a certain reaction depending on the movie's genre. For example: they would laugh when they watch a comedy, shiver and close their eyes when watching horror movie, cry when watching a sad movie and ect. Of course they would have those reactions in the cinema. I wound as well add the Enka genre (or something similar) because it's SO BEAUTIFUL (to be at least lol). I would also add more detail to traveling. They can travel with boat, train, or with plane. Miis could also have sleepovers. (yes I know I said "also" a lot)
The photo studio it's gone, I just forgot to write a note where I mentioned the mistake and how the new photo studio is like the Miitomo one. My bad. Genres with movies are unessesary, the reactions would be better random as always. I imagined music would be all completely new tracks and new genres too! There's no need to reuse the ones from life and collection anymore.
@@SmashedTomatoes Heyyyy dudeeee! You're right about the movie genres and brand new music.
This would be so cool! a feature that I would like to see is custom islands, where you add structures, hills, plants, and forestry, and you would get a limited amount of buildings and forestry to place. (of course you would unlock more and more island customization options, as you play more and more)
Might be a little too much for the game? But I could see it happening if nintendo went too far.
@@SmashedTomatoes True..
Just little ideas after having watched this because i find this all such a nice concept. I'd hands down play a game like this if it was published tomorrow. I wish one could do a little (only little) decorating with the rooms, like giving a Mii a little plant (maybe a differentiation between plant and flower, like the former for example includes bamboo or succulents, the other maybe a rose or tulip or something) and they put it somewhere semi-random in their room. Or maybe a fish and it's some random coloured fish reminescent of those in that game I am Fish and it gets a rsndomised very human name. Or giving them a little phone with a semi-randomised colour. (maybe choosing a tone for it that is randomosed, greyscale, warm, cold) Maybe having a little mix of miitopia in it, like there is a 2nd cafe and maybe a tiny restaurant and you could if you want choose the mii that owns it. A tiny bank and that's maybe where the statistic with which mii you spend the most money on would be visible. A tiny bakery that sells cakes and sweets and bread, i know this is a bit like just another supermarket, but i love things like this, you don't need to have one only shop for all things. Little festivities around the year although that would probably be quite a bit of localising, but this is just me wishfully thinking and dreaming up some ideas. Maybe a tiny community garden near the houses where random miis take care of berry bushes and flowers and herbs that maybe could be sold or sold to the restaurants. Maybe something also reminescent of the singing in tomodachi life where you can write news 'episodes'. Or not just news but little TV segments like the movies but it's of the genres i'll mention in a sec. Speaking of news, having the scenes in the park / town actually be in locations in the game. Maybe also something like the rap battle and word-game-thing but it's a mini mii talk show where a mii talks about their hobby or a chef is talking about a restaurant, or a little cooking show, maybe. Or baking show. Or a little copy of those teleshopping things but they are there with a random thing (fully random) and they are showing it off and talking about it. Semi-random dialogue with this would also have the potential to be hilarious. I realise a few of those ideas if not most or all of them are a bit much to expect from nintendo but i still find those are nice ideas as well. *Also, what if the Everybody votes channel allows up to 6 or so answers (this may be excessive) so you can have potentially more chaotic moments.
Actually, that first idea was a fleshed mechanic in Miitomo! I think it'd fit here, but might not be as effective from a gameplay perspective.
@@SmashedTomatoes You just woke up a sad memory, i miss Miitomo.🙁 I got my whole household and a cousin (except dad) to download it so i had friends right out the gate haha. And i think it's because i like to mix in other games and aspects beyond gameplay that is honestly unnecessary, i just plain and simple THINK of what might be possible if the developers put in enough time. But ultimately i know most of the ideas are just for me and i would be absolutely happy with how you presented it with maybe the decoration and perhaps the having Miis open some additional locations for activities like the cafe maybe also a little bar although the latter may be a bit out of bounds because it is a game for all ages including kids and alcohol doesn't need to be in there. Except if it's in a recipe for a dish sold in the supermarket.
