Tomodachi Life (2024 Switch game)

Tomodachi Life is an upcoming life simulation game created by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is an updated port of the 3DS game of the same name.
== Gameplay Mechanics ==
As a port of the 3DS game, Tomodachi life has the same mechanics and locations as it. However, there are some changes. 
=== Changes to existing mechanics: ===
==== Removal of specific mechanics: ====
Several mechanics have been removed to make way for new mechanics that replace them:
* The Dog Voucher and Cat Voucher items have been removed to make way for a new location and mechanic: the Pet Store and Pet Adoption.
* Part-time jobs have been removed due to the addition of Jobs.
* Import Wear has been removed due to the switch not supporting Spotpass 
* Hair Color Spray has been removed due to the Switch's mii editor having more hair color options
==== Voice system: ====
The voice synthesis for the miis has been changed to be more lifelike and up-to-date. It uses text to speech models that use AI.
Due to popular demand, same-sex attraction and marriage have been added to the game. The player can choose which gender a mii is attracted to upon character creation, or choose neither which will disable that mii from getting romantically attracted and married to another mii. These options can be disabled in settings due to possible complaints from anti-same-sex marriage gamers and parents.
==== Streetpass features replaced with friend features ====
The Port and Campsite locations will no longer have miis visit via Streetpass due to the Switch not having streetpass. However, these locations still exist and travelers can be sent to the islands made by the player's Switch friends who have the game. Besides this change, the traveling mechanic works the same.
==== Advanced editor carried from Miitopia switch version ====
The advanced makeup and wig editor from Miitopia is present in the Tomodachi Life Switch version as well. Players can customize their miis with a variety of shapes and stickers to create extremely intricate or lifelike miis.
==== Homes and Families ====
After the baby stages are completed, a child mii has the option to stay at home with their family. They will stay permanently and will not gain their own apartment, but still can be interacted with. Up to 4 children can stay in one house at the same time.
=== New features: ===
==== Jazz and Disco: ====
Two new genres of music have been added to song hall: Jazz and Disco. The song hall mechanics work the same otherwise.
==== New minigames: ====
There are two new minigames the miis can play with the player from their apartment.
* 4 Connect: A generic game of connect four. The mii will attempt to beat the player. The player will be rewarded if they beat the mii in the game.
* Tic Tac Toe: A generic game of tic tac toe. The mii will attempt to beat the player. The player will be rewarded if they beat the mii in the game.
==== Ghost Mode ====
Several events can trigger a mii's death, though it is not referred to as death in the game, rather as "Entering Ghost Mode." In ghost mode, a mii is blue tinted and transparent. They have the ability to haunt other miis apartments, which will play animations of the characters running around being scared. They cannot eat or use items in ghost mode however, except for the item, ghost repellent. This can be given to the player by miis for solving problems, similiar to other items in the game. When a ghost mii is given ghost repellent, they will transform back into a regular mii and no longer can haunt other mii's apartments.
