Nintendo describes Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream as a game where players can "Create your own Mii characters based on yourself, friends, family – anyone! – and watch them live their lives on an island out at sea.

A significant highlight that caught everyone's attention was the addition of ears to Mii characters.
