Nintendo explains opposition to same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life.Tomodachi Life lets players personalize their avatar, shop, ride amusement park rides, and go on dates with and marry in-game characters as well as other real-life players' avatars, as long as that character is of the opposite sex. The game is expected to see a North America and Europe release - the first ever release in the series to leave Japan - on June 6.
Tomodachi Life, which uses virtual representations of players call Mii avatars, was released in Japan in April of last year for the Nintendo 3DS system, where it has since sold 1.83 million copies. "We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players," the statement, a terse five-sentence paragraph, concluded. Instead, the Japanese gaming giant plans to be more mindful in future installments in Tomodachi series. Nintendo originally said yesterday, in an interview with the Associated Press, that it would not cave in to pressure and alter Tomodachi Life. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change this game's design, and such a significant development change can't be accomplished with a post-ship patch," the statement reads. "We apologize for disappointing many people by failing to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life.
