Nintendo has announced a dedicated Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct, scheduled for January 29. The presentation will run for roughly 20 minutes and is set to share new details on the upcoming Nintendo Switch game in the long-running life-sim series.

The Direct airs at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET and will focus entirely on Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, marking the first full presentation for the game since its initial reveal.

This follows Nintendo’s recent Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct, which focused on the upcoming animated film and showed how Nintendo is spacing out its major announcements across dedicated presentations rather than packing everything into a single showcase.

What to Expect From the Presentation

Nintendo has confirmed the Direct will run for about 20 minutes, suggesting more than a quick update. While specific features haven't been shared yet, the presentation is expected to take a closer look at how Living the Dream builds on the original game’s formula.

That likely includes a deeper look at island life, character interactions, and how the game makes use of the Nintendo Switch. There is also a good chance the presentation will finally confirm a release window, which has not yet been announced.

A Return Long in the Making

Tomodachi Life has remained a fan favourite since its Nintendo 3DS release, thanks to its offbeat humour, unpredictable moments, and focus on social interactions over traditional gameplay systems.

With Living the Dream, Nintendo appears to be bringing that formula forward rather than reinventing it. The upcoming Direct should give a clearer idea of how much has changed and how much of the original charm is being carried over.

When and Where to Watch

The Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct airs on Thursday, January 29, at the following times:

  • 6:00 a.m. PT
  • 9:00 a.m. ET

The presentation will be streamed through Nintendo’s official channels, with a replay expected to be available shortly after.

If you’ve been waiting to see what’s next for Tomodachi Life, this Direct should finally offer a clearer picture of what Nintendo has planned.
