What the game is
The game centers on an island populated by Mii characters based on yourself, family, friends, or original characters. Players care for residents, build out the island, and watch relationships and surprises unfold.
The structure is guide-friendly because many systems are easy to start but full of small rules: Mii creation, friendships, dating, roommates, local sharing, and island customization.
What is new
Nintendo highlights expanded Mii creation, From Scratch and Get Help creation flows, face paint, voices, personalities, quirks, island facilities, Quick Build amenities, and Palette House creations.
Local wireless can share eligible Miis and Palette House creations with nearby players when the feature is unlocked.
