Nintendo has announced that it will not add same-sex relationships to Tomodachi Life's western releases despite an ongoing fan campaign.
The game allows players to direct their Mii avatars through strange and humorous versions of everyday events, like moving into a new apartment, meeting new friends, doing chores, and other tasks. It also lets male Mii characters woo and marry female characters, and vice versa.
Numerous Nintendo fans conducted a social media campaign called #Miiquality urging Nintendo to add same-sex relationships to Tomodachi Life in time for its release outside of Japan, or to implement them in a future update.
But Nintendo has confirmed it will not alter the game from the original version in this manner.
"Nintendo never intended to make any form of social commentary with the launch of Tomodachi Life," Nintendo of America said in a statement provided to the Associated Press.
This has already been posted (http://atrl.net/?t=561173). The game has already been fully made. Its now being translated (as it was released in 2013 in JPN). They are not going to change the actual game. Heck! The translation will take a long ass time.

I know, but I don't think they commented on the #Miiquality campaign before.
Disappointing that they think representation is "social commentary". It makes me very sad tbh, especially since EA Games has had same sex relationships in The Sims since the very first installment. This has already been done and there's no reason for them not to as well.

Wait. #Miiquality?
All those fan campaigns are coming true (Pokémon remakes today). Maybe Nintendo will do a Xbox One post-E3 and add homo sexuality as a surprise.
