Nintendo’s upcoming social sim, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, has drawn criticism for its newly announced restrictions on image sharing. Fans expressed frustration online over the inability to upload screenshots directly to social media or transfer images to mobile devices, a feature many consider central to the game’s appeal.

Nintendo’s support site explained that these limits aim to prevent “humorous, surprising, or unpredictable moments” from being misunderstood and to maintain a safe, welcoming environment. While the decision has upset some potential players, the game is still generating excitement ahead of its April 16 release.
