No gay marriage please - we're Nintendo

Nintendo says sorry, but there will be NO gay marriage in Tomodachi Life ... EVER
Claims patching it would be impossible (this time)

Gaming heavyweight Nintendo says it's sorry to disappointed customers for not including same-sex relationships in its Tomodachi Life simulation game, but that it's too late to do anything about it.

The Mario Bros. maker posted a public note of apology to its website on Friday saying it was "committed to advancing our longtime company values of fun and entertainment for everyone," but it stopped short of suggesting it would change the game.

"Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change this game's design, and such a significant development change can't be accomplished with a post-ship patch," the note explained.

Nintendo has come under fire for not updating its Sims-like life simulator for the 3DS handheld console to support same-sex marriages, despite a social media campaign urging it to do so.

The game has been wildly popular in Japan, and it's expected to be a big seller when it hits North America and Europe on June 6 – something Nintendo desperately needs.

Historic Kyoto temple first in Japan to offer gay weddings

Gay marriage is still not legal in Japan, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t options for LGBT couples dreaming of tying the knot in Nippon. Joining big venues like Tokyo Disneyland, an ancient Zen temple in the picturesque city of Kyoto is offering gay weddings in traditional Japanese style.


Established in 1590, Shunkoin Temple follows Zen Buddhism and is an important site for a 20th-century school of thought that blends Zen and Western philosophy. They also take a strong stand on human rights, with their website proudly declaring, “Shunkoin Temple is against any forms of ‘Human Rights Violations’ in the world. No religion teaches how to hate others. Religion teaches how to love and respect others.”

Not only talking the talk, but walking the walk, priest Takafumi Kawakami says of their wedding services, “We welcome every couple regardless of their faith or sexual orientation.”

How could anyone be against this?
