History Trivia / TomodachiLife

* NoExportForYou: The original ''Tomdoachi Collection'' never got a Western localization. Apparently, a big reason for this was that they couldn't get the text-to-speech to work right for English and other languages.

** Some who don't play the game think that you can give tissues, one of the many ShopFodder items in the game, to sad Miis so that they feel better. In reality, Miis can only receive tissues (along with any other piece of VendorTrash) if you tell a Mii who's in love to give them as a present when asking another Mii out, otherwise their only purpose is to be sold.

* FanNickname: Derrick of WebVideo/GameXplain dubbed the North American version's shopkeeper [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Plank]], though he later found out that Plank looks more like a block of wood than a plank. Others call him Blockhead.

** A pretty grizzly one related to the song "Adeline", found only in the Japanese and Korean versions of the game, is that it is involved in a scene where a Mii couple has a miscarriage--some details vary, such as it including gut-wrenching dialogue, or being only in one of the ''many'' localized versions of the game (usually strictly the Japanese version), or just being an unused song, but all of these are incorrect. Adeline is simply a song used in the Japanese and Korean versions of the Compatibility Tester; it is indeed used, it isn't strictly in the Japanese version (though it is quite close), and it should go without saying that [[ImprobableInfantSurvival miscarriages don't exist in the game]].
