Same-sex relationships and the ability to play as a non-binary character will be available. More than ten years after Nintendo and Tomodachi Life on 3DS termed same-sex relationships “a bug” within the game, the upcoming Tomodachi Life Living the Dream will not only allow for same-sex couplings, but non-binary characters. In the image above, a dating preferences screen allows a character to be attracted to male characters, female characters, non-binary characters, or any (or none) of those options. Same-sex relationships were available for a brief period back in 2014 inside Tomodachi Life on the 3DS before Nintendo stomped them out, labelling them “a bug”. Tomodachi Life Living the Dream heads to Nintendo Switch on 16 April 2026.
