# Nintendo # Gamer – Nintendo to Allow Gay Marriage in Fire Emblem Fates – The sword and spear-wielding warriors in the new instalment of Nintendos hit “Fire Emblem” series will be able to marry whomever they
like, the Japanese game-maker has said.
The move comes after the
board game-turned-console behemoth was forced to apologise for excluding same-sex relationships in an earlier game.
“Fire Emblem Fates”, which hit the Japanese market on Thursday, will roll out in the United States and Europe next year.In a statement released this week, Kyoto-based Nintendo said the game, in which players advance through a fantasy world doing battle with other characters, will be inclusive.
“We can confirm that Fire Emblem Fates for Nintendo 3DS… includes the possibility for a same-sex marriage to take place between the main character created by the gamer and another character,” it said.
“We believe that our gameplay experiences should reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate.
”The development came after Nintendo America was forced to apologise last year when users complained that a life-simulation game, “Tomodachi Life”, did not allow
same-sex marriage.
