Despite the excitement around recent Nintendo game an**uncements (http://mashable.com/2014/05/07/new-pokemon-games/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), one title from the game maker has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Set for release in June, Tomodachi Life, a life simulation game similar to The Sims, was the subject of backlash after Nintendo responded (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/nintendo-says-**-virtual-equality-life-game) about the lack of same-*** representation in the game on Wednesday.

But on Friday, Nintendo released a second statement (http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/c4FWbi-Uave2T9R1h7SFzX0aoa-d4pgx) about the future of same-*** representation in Nintendo titles:
"We apologize for disappointing many people by failing to include same-*** relationships in Tomodachi Life. Unfortunately, it is **t possible for us to change this game’s design, and such a significant development change can’t be accomplished with a post-ship *****. At Nintendo, dedication has always meant going beyond the games to promote a sense of community, and to share a spirit of fun and joy. We are committed to advancing our longtime company values of fun and entertainment for everyone. We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi ******, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players."
