To date, Tomodachi Life: Living Dream has achieved over 50,000 downloads. Meanwhile, Tomodachi: Live the Dream Life has been downloaded more than 100,000 times. It’s also interesting that the original Tomodachi Life is rated E for everyone, while these clones are rated T for teens ages 13 and up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
