Tomodachi Life/Regional Differences
This is a sub-page of Tomodachi Life.

Tomodachi Life is one of those games with an incredibly absurd amount of regional differences. That, alongside the random nature of the game and the niche status of its appeal, resulted in a lack of documentation on said differences. Outside of revisions, the game is known to have 4 regional variants:
- The original Japanese version.
- The North American version.
- The European version, which changes from a United Kingdom or Australian version depending on which country your 3DS is set to via System Settings
- And finally, the South Korean version.
In the European version, if the game detects the system's country as United Kingdom or Australia, the in-game currency will be changed to the other countries' currency.
Other than that, functionality is mostly identical to that of other countries.

General
Title Screen
The North American version features a completely different logo from the other versions of the game. All regions are copyright 2013-2014, except for Japan, which is only 2013.
Interestingly enough, the Korean version doesn’t contain a trademark symbol.

Region-Appropriate Currency
Where appropriate, the localization team of each region used the different countries' currency, which corresponds to their own region. The Japanese version uses yen, the Korean version uses won (with all values multiplied by 10), the American and Australian versions use the $ sign (dollars and cents), while the European version uses the euro (and cents) and a separate United Kingdom version uses pounds sterling (and pence).

The Fictitious Brand's Name
 | This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: There needs to be a photo for Tobakaido as well. |
.
In the Western versions of the game, various things, such as the café window or the Beanie hat, will be branded for a fictitious brand called Redfurt. In Japanese, this brand is instead called Tobakaido, while in Korean it is named Ninko.

Mii Maker Flash
In the Korean version, subsection buttons that have not yet been pressed continuously flash a bright blue in the Mii Maker portion of character creation, to help players see what they have and haven't altered yet. The head subsection never flashes blue, as it is the default section the player starts in.

The North American, European/Australian, and South Korean releases added a building called 3DS Image Share. This is simply a shortcut to the homonymous website.
