Tomodachi Life Is Freaking Me Out

huh.

this just seems like a giant inside joke for the minority of people that actually follow industry happenings.

so, more like this please.

I love the Japanese DS and 3DS versions, so happy to see this coming here at last.

I think I just had a stroke. And I'm so glad I did.

*gets out wallet*

Fine, 3DS. You win again.

This is a really gutsy move by a company in the state Nintendo is. Now I wanna get a 3DS!

Did Rich Gallup direct this?

Bill Trinen is still awesome. I don't know what the fuck I just watched, but bravo.

Whoever is in charge of this productions needs to be given all the money to do what Nintendo needs to do to change for the better. This is great.

If every Nintendo Direct announce was hosted by Miis I'd buy a lot more Nintendo games.

I don't really want this game. It doesn't really look like much of a game, but I feel like I show buy it to show my support for this video.

All hail the Virtual Boy.

I'm on board.

Why when I watch this it reminds me of giant bomb in 08-09??

I, I think I'm in love with the new Nintendo.

What did I just watch?

I don't currently use any Nintendo systems, but this is the kind of stuff that only they can do. I don't know why they do it, but I never want them to stop.

But seriously though. What the heck was that.

oh jesus.

Forget the game, just make more trailers please!

This was probably the most creative thing besides the Wii that Nintendo has put out in the last decade.

.___.

I am worried I won't pass a drug test if I watch this video less than a week before one.

ALL HAIL VIRTUAL BOY

Besides the sheer insanity, I like the text-to-speech aspect of it. I occasionally play The Sims, and its vague icon-only interactions really hurt the soap opera drama of it; it'll be nice to know exactly what they're talking about.

I fucking want this.

Sims on Drugs is a System Seller, day 1 son.

My body IS ready

It's a Sakamoto game. What would you expect?

Patrick: "Wabadabada, that's true."

@pocketroid: Actually, it was Tomodachi Collection that came out then, on the original DS. This is the sequel, came out this year in Japan and sold fairly well there. Heard a lot about the original when it was new so this should be very interesting, I know know I'm sold.

And unlike Rusty's real deal baseball this is weird Nintendo that's actually coming to europe too.

I've already commented on this video, but I need to reiterate how great this is. I've never seen a "Nintendo Direct" before; are they as cleverly done as this?

All hail the Virtual Boy.

Someone nominate this for a short film award.

This trailer looks like a GiantBomb video.

That was beautiful.

Is this just an amazing hot dog dream, or is this really happening?

They're usually just elongated info dumps with occasional little quirky bits scattered throughout. This one was fucking bananas

This is the most incredible video I have ever watched. I need this game.

Apparently Nintendo got back into psychedelics around the same time I did.

It's okay I never wanted to sleep again anyway.

Tomodachi Collection came out this time last year in Japan, actually. They're pimping this game pretty hard, it even gets a full-on South Korean localization. I love how they keep bringing the weirdness. If only Captain Rainbow had gotten the same awesome treatment!

Jesus Christ Nintendo, I want to hate you so much but this... just this! God bless you!

#HailTheVirtualBoy

Man, Nintendo can really nail it when they lean into the goofiness - this is the most excited I've been by one of their announcements in a while.

Holy fuck, creepy Nintendo... Gotta love em.

I want a DK tie.

South Korea is actually a big market for Nintendo. They put out Animal Crossing New Leaf in SK before the Americas and Europe.

I feel like Jeff will *really* like Tomodachi Life. SPD1 rocks.

Nintendo has entered a strange and wonderful new era of madness.

The singing was a little familiar.

The secret Mii character is the Virtual Boy, and its text will be written in headache-inducing red.

What the shit is with Samus's skeletor nose?
