Nintendo apologizes for not including same-sex couples in life sim — but it won’t change the game

Tomodachi Life is all about creating drama and people falling in love, but it doesn’t include the possibility for same-sex love — and Nintendo is sorry about that.

The company issued an apology today after dealing with fallout from fans who feel excluded from the social-life simulator, which is due out June 6 for the 3DS. This statement comes a day after advocacy group GLAAD — which represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people — issued a statement to GameBeat calling Nintendo “behind the times.” While Nintendo is saying its sorry, it still plans to launch the game next month without same-sex relationships.
