Nintendo is changing Tomodachi Life for its western release. There aren’t many drastic overhauls, but there are some modifications in place to better suit the game’s new audience.

As for what’s changed, Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen told GameSpot:

Rising Star Games has confirmed a European release date for Hometown Story. It’ll launch on May 2, the publisher has confirmed.

Hometown Story released in North America a number of months ago, but it seems that European version will offer the definitive experience. Because of the longer development time, ToyBox Inc. managed to implement a number of enhancements, including the addition of fishing.

You can find out what’s new in the European version of Hometown Story below.

A new puzzle has been added to the StreetPass Mii Plaza. If you have a North American system, you should soon be receiving a panel for Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball. Be on the lookout for it!

Last year, Nintendo released a patch for Tomodachi Life in Japan to address a bug that allowed for same-sex relationships. This same issue has also been tackled for the game’s upcoming western release.

Some may be curious as to why Nintendo fixed the bug in the first place, and why same-sex relationships aren’t possible. For those interested, check out Nintendo UK’s lengthy statement about the situation after the break.
