Controversial dialogue removed from Fire Emblem: Fates in the West
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 118 Comments
A source revealed to NintendoWorldReport today that Nintendo of America will be removing some dialogue in the upcoming Western release of Fire Emblem: Fates. Here is what Nintendo of America had to say:
“In the version of the game that ships in the U.S. and Europe, there is no expression which might be considered as gay conversion or drugging that occurs between characters.”
The conversation in question is a support conversation with the female character Soleli, who is revealed in-game to be attracted to women. When paired with the male version of the main protagonist, her drink is spiked at a later point in her support chain and she finds herself attracted to him instead. This isn’t the first time in the series that Nintendo has had issues with sexual orientations in the Fire Emblem series a notable example being the absence of gay marriage in Fire Emblem Awakening. Though Fates includes same sex marriage, it makes sense that they would take this extra step to avoid any further backlash.
For the full story about this particular support conversation and how it will affect the release of Fates next month, head over to NintendoWorldReport for the full story.

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD amiibo trailer
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 20 Comments
Nintendo has uploaded a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD highlighting amiibo functionality.
For the most part, the video recaps what we already knew. Using the Wolf Link amiibo unlocks the Cave of Shadows (final name), which has players taking on waves of enemies. We also have clarification on saving with the figure. Today’s trailer mentions: “You can save a record of your remaining hearts to the Wolf Link amiibo and attempt to beat your score whenever you want.” I suppose our theory from earlier today about checkpoints was too ambitious, and this does make the most sense!
Link and Toon Link amiibo restore arrows, as was mentioned in Famitsu’s report. The Zelda figure restores hearts, and Ganondorf provides a challenge with extra damage (this lasts until your session ends or are defeated). Oh, and we still don’t know how the Wolf Link amiibo ties into Zelda Wii U.
Thanks to shinun and Mucrush for the tip.
