CoroCoro will have new content for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire next month
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
This month’s issue of CoroCoro has leaked, but it sadly doesn’t contain any screenshots or additional news about Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. However, the magazine does promise new content for its June issue, which will be available on June 14. I imagine we’ll be seeing some of CoroCoro’s reveals at E3 next month as well.

Rumor: Localization source on NoA’s freedom when it comes to NCL, adding same-sex relationships to Tomodachi Life would have been difficult
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 1 Comment
USGamer spoke with “one high-level localization specialist” in light of the controversy surrounding Tomodachi Life. For those unaware, some gamers have taken dissatisfaction in the fact that the game does not support same-sex relationships.
USGamer first asked its source about how much freedom Nintendo of America has in this situation, and whether NCL would have acquiesced to NoA deciding to add in same-sex relationships.
“On the one hand, it’s tempting to say ‘yes,’ because Nintendo of America enjoys one of the healthiest relationships in the business with its parent company when it comes to localization. No one else has the leeway to make sweeping changes like this one. The US version of Animal Crossing has added Western holidays, events, and items; the main character of Rusty’s Big Deal Baseball got a complete makeover for the US version; and even Tomodachi Life already has a number of non-trivial changes to the US release, which Nintendo has boasted about elsewhere. In an industry where it can be almost impossible just to get the original developers to add proper support for plural cases, NOA was in a better position than anyone to push for same-sex relationships in the game.”

Nintendo issues yet another statement/apology about lack of same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 20 Comments
Some gamers have expressed continued dissatisfaction about the lack of same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life. As such, Nintendo issued another statement about the situation today.
The company apologized to those who are disappointed about the lack of same-sex relationships in the 3DS title. This functionality would not be possible if Nintendo were to develop a post-ship patch. If there were to be another Tomodachi entry in the future, “we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.”
Head past the break for Nintendo’s full statement.
