Tomodachi Life, known in Japan as Tomodachi Collection: New Life^[a], and in South Korea as Friend Gathering Apartment^[b], is a social simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the sequel to the Japan-exclusive Nintendo DS title Tomodachi Collection. The game follows the day-to-day interactions of Mii characters, referred to as "islanders", as they build relationships, solve problems, and interact with the player.

The game was released on April 18, 2013 in Japan; June 6, 2014 in North America and Europe; June 7, 2014 in Australia; and July 17, 2014 in South Korea. It sold over 400 thousand units in Japan in its debut week and has sold 6.72 million copies worldwide, making it the eleventh best-selling 3DS game of all time.

The game received mostly positive reviews; it was praised for its gameplay and overall charm, but criticized for its simplistic minigames and lack of user control. It introduced features for Mii customizability that were expanded upon in future Nintendo games, such as Miitopia and Miitomo, which allow for more complex outfits for Miis, and in the Nintendo Switch port of Miitopia, makeup that is customizable.

A sequel for the Nintendo Switch, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, is scheduled for release in 2026.
