Since the wacky life sim series kicked off in 2009, Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life has been like a big, beloved dollhouse where players watch their Miis get into the weirdest relationships possible.
Just seconds into Thursday’s Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct, Nintendo confirmed that players will finally be able to make their Miis queer through a surprisingly inclusive settings menu that occurs during the usual Mii creation process.
In 2014’s Tomodachi Life, Miis were forced to be heterosexual and be solely male or female, so queer players resorted to using various mods.
Nintendo’s decision to leave gay marriage out of Tomodachi Life, the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan, drew quite a bit of criticism.
In 2014, fans petitioned for Nintendo to add gay marriage, and Nintendo responded pretty harshly.
