Nintendo placing image sharing restrictions in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

Nintendo has confirmed via its support page that it will be placing image restrictions on Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream when it launches on 16th April. This presumably means that the screenshot button could be disabled in the game or during certain situations. Nintendo says that they have implemented this policy for the game in an effort to retain its “ongoing philosophy of creating experiences that bring smiles to everyone who plays.”

“Nintendo aims to create experiences where players have the freedom to enjoy their Mii characters in their own way. In Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, this freedom can sometimes lead to humorous, surprising, or unpredictable moments during gameplay. 

While these moments are often fun for players, we recognize that out-of-context scenes may be misunderstood or may not reflect the spirit in which the game is intended to be enjoyed. 

Nintendo is committed to creating experiences that are welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. 

To support this commitment, and in consideration of the unique gameplay in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, we have decided to place restrictions on certain image sharing features. These limits help to make the worlds players create in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream remain fun and safe, and that the game can be enjoyed comfortably by all players. 

We understand that some players may find these restrictions limiting. However, they reflect Nintendo’s ongoing philosophy of creating experiences that bring smiles to everyone who plays.”
