Weird Tomodachi Life Direct is weird

Lord Helix has been deposed. All hail the Virtual Boy!

Tomodachi Life Direct is part Second Life, part Animal Crossing, and all bizarre. Nintendo seems keen on out weird-ing the people behind Noby Boy with this 3DS gem. It’s like going on a funky bad trip with your favourite Mii buddies.

“What happens when friends, family, and celebrities become Mii™ characters and live together on an island? Tomodachi Life happens! Start by creating Mii characters and customizing everything about them. Have fun recreating your best friend, your favorite actor, mom and dad, co-workers…whoever! Then watch as they rap, rock, eat donuts, fall in love, break up, go shopping, play games, and live their crazy Mii lives.”

Nintendo’s 10 minute trailer says more about the game than I could ever write in a single post.
