Regional Differences

This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.

To do:
App icons and title screens are also different based on the region and language.

Similar to the previous game, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has many differences for the several regions the game was released in.

Unlike the previous game a lot of the regional changes are very miniscule, things such as region-exclusive clothing and food are no longer a thing.

Distinct from most other English localizations of first-party Nintendo games since 2017 (with the practical unification of North American and European localizations), there are extensive differences between the North American (NOA) English and European (NOE) English scripts in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Region-Appropriate Currency#

The currency changes depending both: what you set your Switch's location as, and what region you picked at the beginning of the game.

  • Japan: yen (¥)
  • America: dollars ($), based on the U.S. dollar; or pesos ($), based on the Mexican peso
  • Europe: pounds (£) or euros (€)
  • Australia/New Zealand: dollars ($), based on the Australian dollar
  • Korea: won (₩)
  • Asia (outside Japan and Korea): dollars ($), based on the Hong Kong dollar

Regardless of real-world exchange rates that fluctuate daily, the following currency amounts, while interpreted differently by region, are technically identical:

Pronoun Differences#

To accommodate for Japanese having many first-person pronouns, the Japanese version lets you type your own first-person pronouns for Miis. TLLTD-JapanesePronouns.png
