Tomodachi Collection: New Life is a simulation game for Nintendo 3DS originally released in Japan back in April 2013. It stars Mii characters that interact with each another in daily life activities.
The main hook for Tomodachi Collection lies in the player's ability to make any person a part of the experience. In fact, the Japanese word "Tomodachi" translates to "friend" in English. My friend collection consists mostly of co-workers, but yours could include extended family, celebrities you'll probably never meet in real life, or avatars taken from your 3DS StreetPass Plaza. Each customized participant gets a voice -- thanks to a Japanese text-to-speech-like program -- and personality before they move into a small living space and start their digital lives.
In Tomodachi Collection, the goal is to build up a roster of Miis and interact with them as they go about daily life. At times, they will ask for advice or present you with more specific needs -- perhaps they want a certain type of food or new furniture for their apartment. Sound familiar? To some extent, there’s a lot of overlap between it and Animal Crossing, but there’s also some key differences. For example, some residents want to play a game or test your knowledge. Others seek social or even dating advice. Couples can settle down and bear children, who then go off on their own adventures through StreetPass.

It's not the same thing apparently. You can't compare something which is totally different. This one is more like a Sims type while Animal Crossing is more of a Mayor thing.
A day one buy for me, have been looking forward to this one. Super wacky, it's gonna be super awesome.

Yes it does. It plays on real time but the game does not punish you for not playing everyday..unlike Animal Crossing.
I believe this is one of those games, which you MUST play if you own a Nintendo console. I'm moving to study next month so I will have very limited internet. Any idea how important is the internet to this game? Might pick this up instead of Smash Bros because Smash Bros is only 100% enjoyable if I have internet.
