Those looking to purchase Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS will also be able to use the new cast members on Wii U. Here’s a look at how each new character’s model will look on the big screen.
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.

In all honesty, Mario & Luigi has fallen off my radar within the last few years. That’s not due to a dislike of the various games. I played the first one, but after that, I simply never picked up another title. However, when Nintendo announced that Paper Mario would be coming together with Mario & Luigi, my love for the former franchise was enough to finally push me to giving it another spin. Now that the RPG is finally in my hands, I can comfortably say that Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is a great representation of both series.
The latest Hyrule Warriors Legends video shows nearly 2 hours of footage from the game. We’ve attached it below.
