Good News! Nintendo apologizes for Tomodachi Life’s lack of same-sex relationships
Thomas Schulenberg over at Joystick has more.
Tomodachi Life, an upcoming 3DS game that places the Miis of a player and their acquaintances in various scenarios, has drawn criticism from fans over its lack of support for same-sex relationships. Nintendo of America recently explained that the company “never intended to make any form of social commentary” with Tomodachi Life, but the bungling response only upset people further. With fans amassing awareness for the issue through the Miiquality hashtag, Nintendo has now issued an apology for “disappointing many people by failing to include same-sex relationships.”
Oh no Bryan Fischer’s hope for defeating the gays is gone.
There may be hope: Nintendo won’t let players even pretend to be gay. http://t.co/rdcraPPN8l

Nintendo, how could you apologize for standing up against the evils of gay love?
