Did you know that Tomodachi Life had a predecessor on the Nintendo DS?

[RETRO-VETRO RETRO-VETRO]

Tomodachi Life had a predecessor called Tomodachi Collection, released exclusively in Japan for the Nintendo DS in 2009. It laid the foundation for the quirky life simulation gameplay that Tomodachi Life expanded upon on the 3DS.

this would have sold even more DS handhelds had it released in the west!

I discovered this a few years ago. Once I saw the box art, it took me a moment to connect the dots and realize that "Tomodachi Collection" is the original "Tomodachi Life."

It would be cool to see the Question Hall and Job Diagnosis from "Tomodachi Collection" return in the next game for sure, also its pretty impressive that "Tomodachi Collection" runs at 60~ish fps! (for me anyways)
