Nintendo has shared the financial results for the fiscal year ending in March 2026, and while the company expects the Switch 2 to sell fewer units during its second year of life, not all things look bad for Nintendo. The company announced that its social life simulator, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, is doing gangbusters numbers, selling nearly 4 million units in just two weeks.
In a series of slides posted to the company’s official website, Nintendo shared the sales figures for Living the Dream. For a game that released on April 16, Nintendo confirmed that the “global cumulative sell-through in [two] weeks after release [was] over 3.8 million units.” This was the only mention of the game in the 29 slides, but it’s still an impressive figure for a franchise that hasn’t seen a new entry since 2013’s Tomodachi Life.
The sales figure makes sense when you look at the attention surrounding Living the Dream. A cursory glance at Nintendo’s official YouTube channel demonstrates just how popular the game would likely become when it launched, with many of the videos garnering hundreds of thousands to millions of views. And the same is true on Reddit, where the game’s two primary subreddits–r/tomodachilife and r/TomodachilifeLivingTD–have 1.7 million and 290,000 weekly visitors, respectively. It appears players are living the dream in Living the Dream.
Nintendo has baked all sorts of features into the latest entry. The character creator is wild, with all sorts of tools for you to create all kinds of famous Miis. The game won’t judge you if you’re horny, and there’s even a way to get those filthy videos off your Switch. And for some reason, the company was “obsessed” with getting the fart sounds right. It seems it has something for everyone.
