A fun little note for when you get the game: Tomodachi Life lets you take screenshots of the top or bottom screen! Whichever you want to share! To Take a picture of the top all you have to do is click X, to take one of the bottom, click Y. I'm just letting you know this so you don't miss out on taking pictures of your mii creations (like I missed!)
During start up you get to name you Island. At Gallows suggestion, I named my island Kaisland Island. (Island will always be at the end of your island name fyi so think of a good name in advance!) After that you get to make your first mii. It functions much like the 3DS mii maker but you can also import a mii from you plaza to use! Easy stuff! You can customize your name and get this:
Customize the pronunciation! Kaiaa for example, is pronounced "K-eye-uh" but if I leave it as Kaiaa, the game pronounces it as "Kay-uh". On the pronunciation page I put in the letters that make Kaiaa sound like Kaiaa instead of "Kayuh" =D (Hint for those of you with awkwardly pronounced names like me, put a space between syllables and the game should read it correctly. My pronunciation spelling of my name is "Kai uh" because "Kaiuh" is still read as Kayuh)
Tomodachi Life utilizes a Level Up system! To level up your islanders you do favors. Favors can be anything from helping a mii make a new friend, giving them food, changing their outfits, and a lot more others that are restricted in the Move-In version. Here I leveled myself from eating a Salad. Yum!
If you choose to give a phrase, you make up what you want the mii to say and when they say it! You can choose happy actions, angry actions, sad actions, worried actions, and random actions for the phrase.
If you chose to give an item, you can choose from this list of items to give when they level up!
I chose to give Kaiaa the Hula-dancing manual and later caught her dancing in her room! It was actually pretty funny!
Later on I created a second Mii! I don't have many screenshots of his adventures on my island but if you notice the background, you can change your mii's Room to different settings. Kaiaa is hanging out with Larry in his "Secret Base" treehouse themed room!
While hanging out with Larry, we dyed his hair. There are a LOT of hues to choose from. I wasn't brave enough to try any funky colors so we kept it the same. For those brave enough you will have a lot of fun!
That was just a short little sneak peak but I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Most of this stuff has been shown on youtube so check there for more information as well!
