Tomodachi Resort (NPNebz Ver.)

Tomodachi Resort is the sequel to the 3DS title Tomodachi Life, and the third entry in the Tomodachi Mii series overseas. The game is set for release on the Nintendo Switch on August 3, 2022. Tomodachi Resort takes many aesthetic elements from Wii Sports Resort, including the presence of a replica of Wuhu Island being the main location of the game and an intricately designed sports system very similar to the same Wii title. In addition, Tomodachi Resort adds a deeper level of personality to each Mii including a revamp to the personality system, along with the additions of careers, island customization, and more.
== General ==
=== Island Location ===
Unlike the past games in the series, Tomodachi Resort takes place on what seems to be a replica of Wuhu Island from Wii Sports Resort (the game will still allow you to name the island, which is why it is classified as a replica). This island shares countless similarities to the one from Resort, including the Red Iron Bridge, the Summerstone Castle, Wuhu Town, and the volcano Maka Wuhu.
The game also includes a noticeably more tropical theme than prior entries. Once the player moves out of Wuhu Town, they will create a Resort for their Miis to live in instead of an apartment building. When the player makes a Mii, their default clothes will instead be tropical outfits in their favorite color.
=== Starting the Game ===
When the player boots up the game for the first time, they are instructed to create their Mii. The player can either make a Mii from scratch using the Nintendo Switch Mii Maker, or choose a Mii they have already created. Regardless of the option you choose, the game then incentives you to customize the rest of your Mii. There are four categories in this menu; Makeup, Information, Personality and Voice. This menu can be revisited at any time through any Mii on your island by going to the Town Hall or selecting the Edit option while in a Mii's apartment.
Makeup: This submenu contains the Makeup feature ported over from Miitopia on the Nintendo Switch. It is almost exactly the same, having the Eyes, Eyelashes, Eyeshadow, Cheeks, Lipstick, Eyebrows, and Other categories, as well as the Wigs category at the bottom. There are some quality of life changes that make editing layers easier. A new addition, the Expression Editor, is also in this submenu, allowing the player to use makeup features to customize what your Mii looks like during certain facial expressions, including happiness, anger, sadness, worry, surprise, cheerful (which is similar to the wink expressions from Miitopia), and some others.
Information: This submenu contains all the important information for your Mii, including their nickname, birthday, favorite color, gender and more. This submenu also includes idle animations for your Mii.
Personality: This is by far the largest submenu of the four. See (Personality).
Voice: This is the last of the submenus a player needs to fill out for their Mii. It determines how the Mii's voice sounds. The text-to-speech voice system has been improved from the 3DS version by quite a margin, and includes some new additions like accents. There is also a new Practice Phrase, where you can set what you want your Mii to say when pressing the Y button in this menu. This makes testing and experimenting with voices a lot easier than in past versions, where instead your Mii would begin to talk whenever you drag the bars around, often confusing the player.
Once you have chosen these settings for your first Mii, a cutscene begins. Your Mii is sailing towards Wuhu Island by the Queen Peach cruise ship. They are amazed by the various sights, as the camera ascends above the ship and overviews the island, revealing the title logo of Tomodachi Resort.
After the cutscene, your Mii departs the ship and walks into Wuhu Town. They notice how lonely the island looks, and asks you (their look-alike) to help make the island become alive, and then asks what the name of the island should be. At this point, a text box will pop up and the player can name their island.
Once they do, the player and their Mii observe two other Miis exit a nearby house and walk up to them. These Miis are randomly chosen among all of the premade Miis in Wii Sports, with some examples being Matt and Abby. They introduce theirselves and state that they are happy that this island can be populated. They will then offer your Mii to stay in their room, as they are going to leave on the Queen Peach back to their own island. If you accept, the two Miis will be overjoyed, give their thanks, and leave to the dock to head onto the Queen Peach.
=== Short Tutorial ===
Similar to Tomodachi Life, Tomodachi Resort will have a few preset occurrences to guide the player. Upon moving into the room, your Mii will have a problem, and tell you that they are hungry after the long trip. At this point, the Food Market opens up, and the player can purchase from a set of foods.
== Points of Interest ==
When creating a new point of interest, you will enter a top-down camera view of your Wuhu Island, Scattered around the island are plots where you can place points of interest. There are nearly 70 different plots around the island, allowing almost free placement of every villa or attraction wherever you'd like. Some points of interest cannot be relocated, such as the Summerstone Castle, as they are natural aspects of your Wuhu Island.
=== Housing ===
==== Villas ====
After completing the Tomodachi Resort tutorial, the player can build their first villa in any of the 70 plots on the island. A save file can have up to three villas on the island at the same time, and each villa can hold 100 islanders.
Villas can be customized by buying paint and patterns at the furniture shop. The exterior can be designed with various combinations of paint and patterns, along with having slightly different windows and roofs as well.
==== Homes ====
Similar to Tomodachi Life, once two Miis get married, they can buy a home that you can place in any of the 70 plots present on the island. The married Miis can still visit their apartments from time to time, but will mostly be at their home.
The layout of the home the two Miis get is determined by a combination of their salaries. If the two Miis both have small salaries, their home will be Small. On the contrary, if the two Miis both have grand salaries, their home can become a mansion. The color palette of the exterior and interior are determined by the personalities and interests of the two Miis.
Unlike the past entries, you can actually visit the homes of your Miis, similar to how you would visit apartments.
=== Leisure ===
Leisure areas are locations where your islanders can visit. During gameplay, they can leave their apartment and go to one of these locations randomly, with either themselves or some friends. Each leisure location may or may not have a certain timeframe in which they are closed.
==== Amusement Park ====
Returning from Tomodachi Life, the Amusement Park is a location that includes a merry-go-round, a roller coaster, a ferris wheel, a popcorn stand and a cotton candy stand. The opening hours are from 8AM to 7PM on weekdays and 9AM to 10PM on weekends.
==== Park ====
Returning from Tomodachi Life, the Park is an open area where your Miis can go on walks, have a picnic, and more. The Park is always open 24 hours a day.
==== Custom Cafe ====
Returning from Tomodachi Life, the Cafe is a place where your islanders can settle down, have some coffee or a dessert, and talk to each other.
The Cafe, along with the Restaurant, is one of the few leisure locations that you can customize. When you are building the Cafe, you can choose to name it whatever you'd like, and give it a choice of color palette. Just like apartments, you can change how the interior and exterior looks by buying new furniture, etc.
