Tomodachi Collection

Tomodachi Collection is a 2009 social simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It follows the daily interactions between interactive Miis, customizable avatars, who reside on an island overseen by the player, as they build relationships and solve problems. A group of young Nintendo employees began developing the game in October 2005, replicating the Nintendo-published video game Tottoko Hamtaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu (2000). Titled Otona no Onna no Uranai Techō, the prototype featured character-creation avatars that served as the progenitors for what would become the Miis.
