Summary

We’re living the dream this week on Nintendo Voice Chat, as the next Tomodachi Life entry is finally here. Join Logan Plant, Brian Altano, Seth Macy, and Miranda Sanchez as Logan and Miranda talk about their 35+ hours in Nintendo’s quirky, hilarious life sim. From the huge fight between Samus Aran and Reggie Fils-Aimé, to the best things we created just to see what would unfold, we talk about our favorite parts of Living the Dream. The game is a blast, but its lack of sharing Miis, creations, and screenshots puts a dark cloud over the whole thing. Later, the crew answers your Question Block submissions, including their favorite games that caused them to take notes, and a discussion on if Nintendo is doing enough to appeal to younger audiences in the age of Fortnite and Roblox. 00:00:00 - Intro & Tomodachi Life Review Discussion 00:30:37 - What's Missing from Tomodachi Life? 00:49:10 - What We're Playing - Graveyard Keeper 00:52:53 - Deadzone: Rogue 00:56:55 - UFO 50: Physical Edition 01:01:04 - Question Block! & Outro #nintendo #tomodachilife #gaming Learn more about your ad choices.

0:20.0	Thanks so much to my lookalike for that intro, but don't you know, you're not supposed to eat on a podcast.

That's pretty close to what you sound like on my island.
0:38.1	And Miranda Sanchez is here. Hey, Miranda. Hi, I forgot to send you my lookalike to your island. I'll have to do that later. Yes. Yeah, I want to add everybody from IGN. I already have a few folks, but I want to get even more. Well, this week it's all about Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, which is out now on Nintendo Switch. My reviews up on IG, I give it a seven.
0:54.7	I think this is such a good game.
