There’s a table floating around and being shared that claims to include the Tomodachi Life: LTD release times.

This table is purely wrong. Do not share it.

What the table did was take the release time in the US (midnight ET, which is correct), and assume it releases semi-simultaneously across the world. This is not the case.

First-party digital games release AT MIDNIGHT of each country’s MAIN TIMEZONE. This means it’ll release the earliest in New Zealand. For the US, the main timezone is ET, so yes, it’ll release at midnight ET *for the entirety of the US*. Other countries have their own timezones.

I repeat, please do not share that table around.

EDIT: It was correctly pointed out that my wording could’ve been more precise. The game comes out at midnight of the main timezone of the country your eShop account is from. So, if you bought the game with a New Zealand account, you’ll get the game at midnight NZST no matter where you are.
