Nintendo of America product marketing manager Bill Trinen has issued some lengthy remarks regarding the situation surrounding gay marriage in Tomodachi Life.

You may remember reports that had surfaced from Japan about players being able to partake in same-sex relationships. This resulted from two scenarios: a data leak and players dressing up their Mii characters as males even though their gender was female.

The former scenario was caused by a free tool on the 3DS eShop which allows players to transfer Mii characters from the original DS game. Nintendo eventually patched the bug, though it’s obviously still possible “to create a male version of a Mii character and assign their gender as female.”

Trinen says that there have been some misconceptions in the west, but in Japan, there was no confusion. He also mentioned that Nintendo must “try to find what’s the best way to create this experience and really have a fun and entertaining experience.”

You can find all of Trinen’s comments below.

Later this month, a book will be released that covers the console wars between Nintendo and SEGA known as “Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle That Defined a Generation”. GamesBeat secured an early copy and shared some very interesting details about some of the information included.

Check out the summary below:

• Nintendo didn’t care about making friends, and this helped Sega. Making friends was nice for Sega, but it was much easier to rely on the hatred others had for Nintendo.
• The U.S. government brought a lawsuit against Nintendo on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
• The real reason Sega failed was because of the war between Sega of Japan and Sega of America.
• Walmart barely even wanted to speak to Sega of America, let alone stock its Genesis system back in the early days of the 16-bit console’s life in the U.S. This was…Because Nintendo was scary as hell.
• Sega of America boss Tom Kalinske was integral to Barbie, Flintstone vitamins, and He-Man

You can find a more in-depth summary of these tidbits on GamesBeat here.

CVG has received confirmation from Nintendo that new hardware will not be revealed during E3 2014 next month. “I can confirm Nintendo is not revealing any hardware at this year’s E3,” a representative said.

Rumors regarding an upcoming announcement gained significant traction yesterday after several publications came forward claiming that a system of some sort would make its debut at the expo. Chatter was first picked up on from IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, and a few other sites backed up claims that a reveal was set for E3.

With Nintendo now denying the rumors, it would seem that the whole situation was comprised of nothing more than speculation after all.
