We can confirm that Fire Emblem Fates for Nintendo 3DS, which launches in Japan on June 25, 2015, and is coming to the U.S. and Europe in 2016, includes the possibility for a same-sex marriage to take place between the main character created by the gamer and another character in the game," Nintendo said in a statement.

Fire Emblem Fates comes in two different versions, called the Conquest and Birthright editions. In the U.S., Conquest and Birthright will both be sold separately, as is already the case in Japan. For those who have purchased either the Conquest or Birthright edition, a third edition will be made available as downloadable content at a later stage. Details on how the three storylines will be made available in other regions will be announced at a later date.

In the Conquest edition of the game, there is a male character that the game's player may have his/her male main character marry after they bond in battle. Similarly, the Birthright edition features a female character that a female main character may marry after bonding in battle. Both of the aforementioned characters can be encountered in the third edition of the game.

Gerl bye, Ike and his big sword is all man. If anyone were to come out finally it would be Marth's flamboyent twink ass.

Nintendo for finally coming around though. This is a big step up from the whole Tomodachi Life fiasco.

Guess I'll be buying Conquest.
Hopefully if I scan my Ike amiibo him and my character can have some fun.

Nintendo making me pick the evil dark version to have a gay male main character. I see you.

And then only one option. No thanks. I'll be female and pick who I want. (Although the more progressive bit is that these couples will have kids.)

for the progress. But mess, you're limited to just that 1 character you can marry?

And it's only the main character that can do this? I guess they're just too lazy to give every single character roughly twice as much romantic dialogue.

True, maybe not all of the characters, but it'd be nice for more characters to have the option.
