Tomodachi Life #1

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream held the No. 1 spot on the Nintendo Switch eShop charts dated April 18, 2026, days after its April 16 launch. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Everything’s chart post said the game had already reached No. 1 the previous week on pre-loads alone, then stayed there after release. The same April 18 chart listed Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack at No. 4, down from No. 2. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo’s official product page lists April 16, 2026 as the release date for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Switch. Pokémon’s official site said Pokémon Champions launched on Nintendo Switch on April 8, 2026. (nintendo.com) (pokemon.com) The chart result extends a comeback Nintendo set up more than a year ago. Nintendo announced the new Tomodachi Life in its March 27, 2025 Direct and called it the series’ first brand-new entry in more than 10 years. (youtube.com) Tomodachi Life also returns with a sizable sales history behind it. Nintendo’s investor relations data lists the Nintendo 3DS original at 6.72 million units sold worldwide, placing it among the platform’s better-selling games. (nintendo.co.jp) Nintendo paired the launch with a music push. My Nintendo News reported on April 18 that Nintendo had added several Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream tracks to Nintendo Music around the game’s release. (mynintendonews.com) A separate launch roundup from Miketendo64 said the Nintendo Music update included 10 tracks with a combined runtime of 22 minutes. Nintendo’s official announcement for the app said Nintendo Music is available to Nintendo Switch Online members at no extra charge. (miketendo64.com) (nintendo.com) The April 18 eShop chart was for Nintendo Switch, not Switch 2, according to GoNintendo’s repost of the rankings. For Nintendo, that still puts Tomodachi Life at the top of one of its biggest digital storefront lists in its first full weekend on sale. (gonintendo.com)
