I actually was never aware that Tomodachi Life was popular when I was younger. Nobody I knew who played video games never talked about it at all.

Hi, I play the Korean version of Tomodachi Life, and though I'm pretty late, I thought people might appreciate a couple fun facts! :) Exclusive to the Korean version, Miis can request to go on blind dates, similar to a set-up performed by another Mii. If the blind date is successful, the two Miis will begin dating. There are several traditional Japanese and Korean dresses and outfits present that are not in localised versions. Also, there's a pretty scanty bunny dress in the Korean version, so... The ninja dream is changed slightly, with the Mii usually wearing the ninja costume being slightly different, as well as the interior. I'm not sure if you can see this news report in localised versions, since I haven't before, but there's a report in which giant cats come and visit your island late at night, passing out bags of 'catnip'. Also, all of the Miis in the report are wearing cat suits. That's all I remember! I haven't played the game since 2016, when Miitopia came out, though.

[@koiyune]

that bunny outfit was in japanese too, i believe. it was removed in NA + PAL because it could be seen as a playboy bunny outfit. yeah...

[@doomerdomenico]

@@koiyuneDo you know if the bunny outfit in these versions are a normal outift or a streetpass outfit?

[@PlasticKnight]

Also some notes for the Korean version: if I don’t mention a change (outside of food, clothes, interior, etc) it’s pretty safe to assume that whatever applies to the Japanese version applies to the Korean version

[@vichilltime]

Hi

[@mauropereira187]

There is a difference in the ninja spying on a mii dream in the korean version. Basically the spy and the layout of the room will be traditional korean design and the spy will wear a long garment with a black hat, but this is from a male mii I saw wear, not sure about a female mii. I saw this because I have the rom but you can also look up Tomodachi Life in korean since there’s videos of streamers and youtubers playing the game.

[@mysteryboness]

So I decided to play the Korean version and I took a few notes, so if you’re interested, feel free to read! 1, the bunny suit isn’t a Japanese exclusive, it’s also in the Korean version, except it’s in the Costumes section, not the Work section. 2, if you type something in English, it’ll pronounce it entirely, unlike the Japanese ver which spells it out 3, the Korean version has a few exclusive clothing 4, when you stare at a Mii, the blushing might look different than other versions 5, in the hail dream, the mii’s are fan dancing around 1 mii (there are 2 vers of this dream) 6, there’s a grape shooting thing in the news tower? (I’m not sure if it’s exclusive tho) That’s all I can take note of right now, I might take more notes and edit this comment

[@PlasticKnight]

I've been playing a little bit too, though also there has been other stuff I have yet to have found as well!

[@PlasticKnight]

I’m assuming that if they make another, it’ll have no region locking meaning all versions have to be the same, so that hopefully will mean way more cultural diversity between versions while retaining some regional holidays and stuff (like animal crossing has)

[@ritafonseca9895]

And I really wanted a like.. Sexuality thing? Like yes I wanna be able to make gay miis! Even if they aren't able to have kids (or they could add a adoption thing like they say they want a kid and you make one for them) Like you can choose if they are gay, straight or bisexual for a example

[@PlasticKnight]

@@ritafonseca9895 I feel like a lot of those things would be really cool honesty, I’m just hoping they decide to take advantage of it. For sexuality I’m assuming they’re gonna go with the “Pansexual until proven otherwise” approach like The Sims does, and hopefully they can follow some sort of fantasy logic for babies where gay miis can just decide to have one

[@EvelynSpeedwagon]

I’m hoping if they make a remake, they add same sex relationships (because literally everyone in the game is straight) and where you can give the miis relatives. My brother’s daughter and my son in the game became a couple because they weren’t allowed to be assigned siblings.

[@PyromancerPheonix]

[@Markcrazeer]

they are siblings? what are you and your brother doing? and why do you have an objection to them dating if you got this far?

im pretty sure if you just make the relationships “your sibling” they wont fall inlove

Just for clarification, the European version has both Word Chain *and* Rap Battle every day. Word Chain is from 17:30-18:30 while Rap Battle is from 19:00-20:00.

[@_chase_lol1154]

in the korean version, you can actually set miis up on a blind date with anyone on the entire island even if they dont know them!

[@PlasticKnight]

I learned this feature from Carrossmo, but it was way after this video had already come out :,) I'm still planning on someday recording more Korean version differences, but it depends on what I can plausibly do

I'm realising just how much of the stuff I take for granted in my version of the game isn't available in other versions...

[@荒巻正男]

I wish that for a possible sequel they add like at least the option to make the babies grow up slowly, as well letting couples have more than one child at a time. I like the cutscenes when the families are together having fun. I also kind of wish we can give the Miis accents, and depending on where they're from they'll ask for something and explain what it is if it goes by a different name in that respective region.

[@CrustyFox87]

It’s sad making Joseph Joestar and Caesar Zeppeli without their signature British and Italian accents respectively

[@Lise2009]

There are some changes in the European version of the game which I display below: 1: The image used for the bath set is different than the American version. 2: The European version has both rap battle and word chain with word chain occurring at 5-6 PM (probably) and rap battle from 7-8 PM. 3: During a news cast, in europe the host will say " We asked some islanders their opinions" unlike the American version that says "We asked some islanders for their thoughts on the matter".

I rlly want to restart my save file on tomodachi life, but I’ve got so attached to my mii’s I can’t bring myself to do it so they’re basically here forever. Looking forward to tomodachi life dx on the switch!

[@soulkeeper9523]

I hope there's a way to transfer data between 3ds and switch

[@AntiqueTanuki]

I would recommend homebrewing your console, and backing up your save data via Checkpoint. Then you can restart the data and still keep a copy of your data elsewhere. At least, that’s what I did when I restarted my island, haha

Wow okay the timing of this is insane. I just watched your Iceberg video yesterday and i knew you were going to eventually make this video and i was anticipating it. KZbin recommendations worked for once, and i loved this video just like your iceberg. I never knew about most of the stuff you covered in this video, i had no clue that this game changed so much in other places. Very good, keep up the good work. Hopefully you get bigger because you definitely deserve way more subs than you have currently!

[@37angelg]

As a British tomodachi life player who plays the japanese Version i noticed a few differences. When a mii has already had something food clothes etc the tick is pink instead of green. In the park the photoshot the time is at 4 instead of 5pm. When you call a mii they won't always bow they pant, wave (but different) sprint and wave there arms. The "Real" interior room is the most expensive room instead of the golden room being the second expensive. When you visit a place like fountain etc the title "There seems to be nobody here now.." Doesnt show up

@@scoutjasperwillow It’s the island of the game Tomodachi Collection, as you can tell by the more nostalgic looking graphics, and the DS sounding music.

this game is honestly more amazing the more I think about it, really deep gameplay and you can see the effort they put into localised versions to make it accessible for everyone… those small changes can mean a lot. it’s clear the people who worked on it really cared and it shows in the end result (unlike some game developers nowadays…thinking specifically of EA and the sims 4, if only the ammount of effort and care about the small things was put into that game) ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK?? Iconic. this has also made me remember loads of features I forgot, like tomodachi quest, daily news reports, the songs… good times ahahaha

Fun Fact: In the 3DS home menu, on the Tomodachi Life logo (the one on the top screen), the island is missing the observation tower. This is because nintendo used the same model from the Japanese version for all regions.
