What local play does

Living the Dream

Local play sends Miis and Palette House creations to one nearby player through local wireless. The product listing identifies two-player local wireless; this is a nearby-device exchange, not internet-based Mii sharing.

Before connecting

Living the Dream

Use two compatible Nintendo systems with a copy of the game for each player, keep the systems nearby, and update both copies to the same software version. A version mismatch must be resolved before the players can connect.

What you are allowed to send

Living the Dream

You can send only a Mii or creation made on your own island. Content received from another player cannot be sent onward, and editing it or using it as a base does not make it eligible for re-sharing.

What happens to the original

Living the Dream

Sharing does not remove the original Mii or creation from the sender's island. If a connection fails, first compare game versions and confirm both players selected local play near one another; do not look for an online lobby or a QR workflow.
