Nintendo says Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the "ultimate inside joke game," but I'm not sure fans' NSFW vision for the life sim is what they had in mind

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is almost here, with just a day to go until its big release – but we've already had a taste of the wacky life sim thanks to its recent free demo… a demo that was, unsurprisingly, made all the more chaotic with fans' dirty minds.

There are all sorts of hilarious creations to be found in the old 3DS game, from ridiculous rap songs to exclamations I can't quite repeat here without risking my job. The thing is, though, it's an even more amusing experience than ever before in Living the Dream because there's no filter – really, there's like… none to be found.

Want to add an especially NSFW thought into your Miis' heads? Go on then. Want your Miis to swear like sailors? Have at it.

Countless videos online have been floating about since the free Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream demo dropped, showcasing as much, with Miis discussing everything from, erm, "jerking off" to "cocks."

I'm not sure Nintendo knew this would happen, honestly, and I'm all the more convinced the developers didn't expect it after reading a new interview with director Ryutaro Takahashi and programming lead Takaomi Ueno.

Takahashi explains devs "started development with the direction of leveraging user-generated content – also known as UGC – a system that allows players to create their own content to play with in the game," as it allows for more creative freedom and gives folks less of a chance to grow tired of Living the Dream.

The idea behind Tomodachi Life – its core, if you will – is to offer players the "ultimate inside joke game," apparently.

"The concept of Tomodachi Life is to be 'the ultimate inside joke game' that can be enjoyed among people who are close to each other or share things in common," as the director puts it. "We felt that UGC, which lets players create whatever they want, fit well with this concept. We thought that combining the gameplay provided by the development team with what players themselves create would open up infinite ways to enjoy the game."

  • Tomodachi Life living the dream screenshot showing a giant woman looking at a smaller woman Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream players turn the life sim into a Pokemon game with pixel art pets

Well, uh, it's certainly letting players create whatever they want, all right. And whatever that is – whether it be something totally off-the-rails adult humor or unfathomably wild lines – can influence other Miis, of course.

Think of the 3DS game and how you'd type in a thought or phrase for a Mii, and others could pick it up. This, "the Mii characters' sphere of influence," as Ueno says, has "expanded from the previous game." Oh boy.

In other words, not only is Living the Dream a filter-free fever dream, but it also allows us to plant a far more potent seed of chaos with anything we teach Miis. I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to see how this goes come tomorrow's launch.
