But it seems they have to wait just a little longer, for according to reports, the estimated release date is in 2026.
At this moment, if you listen real closely, you'll hear the internal scream of excitement that Nintendo fans are experiencing right now.

Now, let's be real here. The most appealing side of the announcement is the wholesome joy it invokes on the social media front. Who would have thought that even before GTA 6, we would be reuniting with these goofy, animated alter egos? But here we are. We did not see flying cars for sure, but we ain't complaining!
For those living far away from the world of Nintendo and Tomodachi Life, let us take a short detour. Miis are Nintendo’s customizable, cartoon-like avatars that have been around since the Nintendo Wii in 2006. What are they? Well, imagine they are cute little animated, on-screen versions of real people (although, at first glance, you may not agree).
Have a look at the trailer before we go ahead:
The perk was allowing players to create their own versions of their friends, celebrities, or even themselves. These little guys soon gained a massive fan following. Just like the one thing we know more popularly from Harry Potter films than Harry himself—his glasses—Miis became iconic. They featured in games like Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., and, of course, Tomodachi Life.
They drew so much popularity mainly because Miis were highly customizable. Players would create and share famous faces like Obama, Michael Jackson, or Shrek, turning it into a funny pastime activity.
Like in the chaotic realm of the internet, bizarre things also happen in Tomodachi Life. Your Miis could dream, engage in brawls, fall in love, or bond over a slice of bread. And, for your entertainment, they can even sing!
