Despite the excitement around recent Nintendo game an**uncements, 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 about the lack of same-*** representation in the game on Wednesday.

But on Friday, Nintendo released a second statement 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."
