Development[edit]

The game was developed by a small, young team at Nintendo SPD Group No.1 with Yoshio Sakamoto as producer. According to an interview, it was originally titled Otona no Onna no Uranai Techou (大人のオンナの占い手帳, lit.'Fortune-telling Notebook for Adult Women') and only featured female characters. It was considered for a Western release according to an interview with Gamekult.fr, though issues with localizing the vocal synthesizer software to handle English words (which were resolved in Tomodachi Life) caused the release to be cancelled. However, a fan translationpatch exists, which translates the game's text into English but retains the original Japanese voices.

If this work is set in advance in the Nintendo 3DS Mii Maker, there is a function only found in the Japanese version that allows you to call the Mii from the Tomodachi Collection, and you can copy and transfer to the 3DS side, but the newly created parts are added in the Mii Studio, It is not possible to send the Mii to the Tomodachi Collection from Mii Maker.
