Some ignorant people don't want kids to learn that homosexuals and/or homosexual relationships exist. It's mostly a thing in Amurica.

I kinda get the impression the stance in a good chunk of Japan is to either play it as a joke or sweep it under the rug, hell with CERO they had to be coy with Persona, so it really may be that if they allowed homosexuality they'd be forced to have a different rating.

Nevermind god damn Russia.

 

[GoofsterStud]

The fix should of creating the female version of the "gay bug" not remove it all together.

:-/

Shameful

 

[BRocknRolla]

OH, I thought you were being serious.

Nope, absolutely not. That kind of stuff is the most ridiculous and hateful kind of nonsense.

 

[old manatee]

Good. Games are for straight white males.

 

[Femmeworth]

It's not a bug, it's a feature. (If only.)

 

[Rocwell]

I thought this was going to be about some bug collecting/breeding minigame like Animal Crossing or harvest moon.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

why don't the baby mii's get a say in who gets to raise them

 

[VeryGooster]

Is Patricia Hernandez okay?

 

[Akainu]

The pregnancy makes since but the rest probably has more to do with it being a game for all ages in Japan.

sense.

 

[Alfredo]

Can they fix the "bug" that makes it region-locked, too? I MUST play this game. ;-;

 

[Zombie James]

Some bugs really don't need to be fixed...

My thoughts on this, too. Just leave it alone.

 

[Kincaido]

Call Kotaku!

 

[Lord_Byron28]

So what happens to the already pregnant men?

Forced abortions, but that's a whole other article to be written up.

 

[El Sloth]

Find out tonight at 11 on Fox News.

 

[AzureSkies]

So what happens to the already pregnant men?

Abortion for some.

Miniature American flags for others.

 

[Eusis]

So what happens to the already pregnant men?

Chest bursters.

Tell that to CERO first, Nintendo second if they'd still stick with it. I noted above how Atlus ended up playing coy about homosexuality in the Persona games, though despite the high ratings here those tend to get lower ones in Japan.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

I read the title and thought: WHAT THE FUCK NINTENDO?
Then I saw the pregnant male Mii picture and agreed

(I actually don't know how this game works, I still wish they could leave gay relationships in)

 

[Lindsay]

Nintendo are now sending out an update for the game soon that'll fix this bug along with some other issues the game is suffering from including:
- Inability to boot up the game.
- General errors.
- Inability to save.
- Received a notice on the Home menu's notifications from a child sent on a journey, but no actual message is there.

Why isn't the manufactured controversy over this?? The ability to update games finally comes into the picture for Nintendo and suddenly they start releasing completely busted games like all those other "lazy developers" out there have been doing o.o??

 

[NewFresh]

So what happens to the already pregnant men?

Getting the headline ready...

"How Nintendo Killed my Mii Baby because it had two fathers"

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Louis CK "Talk to your shitty kid for 5 minutes".jpg

To be fair do you want to talk to your stupid shitty child for 5 minutes about why some guys are bumping dicks into each other in some obscure Japanese-only 3DS game?

 

[perorist]

How do 3ds patches work? There's several other games that could use them but I thought nintendo just ignored those bugs because of technical issues in releasing a patch.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Fascinating.

Might be rare freak incidents, but yeah, the gay thing's a mix of comical and disheartening, but the rest of the stuff is absurd for a released game.

 

[SMT]

So what happens to the already pregnant men?

Their children are sent to gaming Limbo because they haven't been baptised yet.

 

[Village]

I have to wonder how that pregnancy thing works though.

Fanfiction?

 

[Sandfox]

sense.

I didn't even notice that typo lol

 

[Various Artists]

Oh boy, I can hear Kotaku typing the article.

First post...

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Find out tonight at 11 on Fox News.

Such a confict for Fox. Will they be happy about anti-homosexuality or upset over abortions?

 

[JordanN]

That looks pretty cool. Why do all video game characters have to be presumed straight?

Bioware?

I guess what I'm saying it should be more mainstream.

Rare enough for them to mention 'em specifically? Thats nicer then most patch notes lol. Still pretty serious bugs all the same! Hopefully them fixes work out!

 

[Ken]

Inability to boot up the game.

That seems like a pretty serious bug.

 

[Village]

Because alot of them are. Not really a bad thing, its just kind is what it is right now.

 

[Neiteio]

Life finds a way.

 

[HardRojo]

I can see the backlash from the gay community coming and Kotaku spining this story into another sensational article.

"Nintendo doesn't approve of gay marriage and releases patch to "fix what is wrong", gets sued by homosexual group"

 

[OnimaruXLR]

Anyone wanna speculate on whether or not this makes the game more or less likely to come out anywhere other than Japan?

 

[Pikma]

"Nintendo's newest game in Japan is getting an homophobic update"
-Patricia Hernandez

 

[FStop7]

 

[JordanN]

Some more diversity wouldn't hurt though. Especially for games where there are no gay characters to be found (or the option isn't given).

 

[BocoDragon]

No more likely than it ever was: I believe it uses Japanese phonetics as a core game mechanic, and is essentially untranslatable.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

lol, why?

 

[Busaiku]

Guess this means we'll never see homosexual supports in Fire Emblem.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Guess this means we'll never see homosexual supports in Fire Emblem.

Nah, there is still a shot at that. We have to remember that IS has had Gay characters in the past.

 

[Neiteio]

Guess this means we'll never see homosexual supports in Fire Emblem.

Oh man, Tharja X Anna would've been so hotttttt.

No wait, Tharja X Noire.

 

[alr1ght]

A storm is coming

 

[Jobbs]

haha. why not let people marry who they want to marry, nintendo...

 

[Eusis]

Rare enough for them to mention 'em specifically? Thats nicer then most patch notes lol. Still pretty serious bugs all the same! Hopefully them fixes work out!

Eh, 1 out of a 1000's a big enough deal for fixing AND for going "what the fuck?" over.

haha. why not let people marry who they want to marry, nintendo...

Because CERO seemingly has issues. CERO's far from the worst out there (Australia at least a few years back and USK are to me) but they definitely make me grateful for the ESRB. I guess PEGI is the closest to bullshit free though. Then again I think they have gambling hangups...
