"Those much loved Mii characters are back on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo has done away with genders. Now when creating a fresh new Mii you are simply asked to Select a Style and there's a generic male and female model to choose from. Other thing to note is the Miis don't seem to have had a shiny redesign so they look very similar to how they looked on the Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch."

I like inclusiveness but am not overly found of losing my own identity in the process. Not sure why they couldn't just add a third option for those looking for a neutral choice.

We love DEI now.

This woke pertaining to twisted gender ideology is getting out of hand and being force again to gamers throat. Very disappointing as the world is just beginning to have common sense back.

I really need to see that word MALE to feel ideologically validated.

I really need to not see the word male or female to feel ideological validated

 

[Hookshot]

It's lame but also funny that the genders are still there they just pretend to the nutters that it's different somehow.

Tired: Type A and Type B
Wired: Style Left and Right

 

[HRK69]

That Hunter Schafer casting might not be so far-fetched now

 

[Bridges]

This really sucks actually. Not a lot of games use the Miis anymore anyway but sometimes the gender came into play. WarioWare Smooth Moves had a microgame where you point Miis to their proper bathroom designated by gender (kind of hilarious through a modern lense), Tomadachi Life used genders to establish relationships where Miis could have biological children. It seems like such a needless change and for what gain? You could already use female styles on male Miis and vice versa

 

[mitch1971]

That word Switch has a new meaning now.

 

[Draugoth]

Hunter Schafer as Zelda confirmed

 

[6502]

Surely they are just avoiding the nonsense.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Binary programmed characters identifying as non-binary.

Make it make sense.

Games can still do that.

 

[Banjo64]

Was the implication ever that these egg blobs had tits and a fanny?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

What style are you?

Style left, type 1 body

 

[Bridges]

Games can still do that.

Literally just saw that on the picture and was coming back to the thread to edit my comment. That almost makes it weirder to me but I'm glad the possibility is there. Just a weird choice all around imo

 

[Danjin44]

Ummm…it's Mii who the fuck cares!?

 

[Topher]

Go get'em Kotaro

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

it's a thing, you bigotudos!!!

 

[DeepEnigma]

it's a thing, you bigotudos!!!

Two general patterns? As in binary?

Retards, lol.

 

[neocycle]

Oh, how cautious Nintendo. Don't step on the feelings of clown-men and chubby teenage girls!
You have to be brain-damaged to call male and female "styles".

At least they unintentionally (or intentionally) admit that this lunacy is a lifestyle.

 

[Luipadre]

As with everything, nintendo is 5 years late with this shit aswell

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Nintendo America is full retarded, this is not news. Just have a look at those Pokemon Go avatars.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

What I thought I made my Mii.....

What the likes of ResetEra will think I made my Mii.....

Letting the mentally ill dictate the direction of society.

Oh here we go more outrage

It says that in the disclaimer that in some games they will still have a gender. So basically they just hid the male and female words from the selection screen.

 

[InterMusketeer]

I don't support it, but Nintendo's been doing this for a while now. The islanders in AC, the Inklings in Splatoon. Heck, I remember even Pocket Card Jockey's re-release did this. I'm sure there's many other examples too. Not much of a surprise they got to the Miis too.

Sometimes they only do it for certain regions/languages so I guess that'd be interesting to see for this case.

 

[Kataploom]

YES!! Finally I can express myself as I am and not as the society demands! /s

You got your Switch 1 from your wife's boyfriend
You get your Switch 2 from your wife's extramarital lover person.

Ciri is more manlier than most men, what's the problem, I don't understand?

sometimes its a slow degradation that causes the most damage. like a creek turning into the grand canyon.

Wonder what it looks like on a Japanese Switch.

Everything I don't like is woke

 

[Kotaro]

Go get'em Kotaro

no I don't care about Mii, no one should care, or waste a single second of their life talking or thinking about Mii

 

[ResilientBanana]

This is the bare minimum of whats wrong with switch.

 

[yogaflame]

Everything I don't like is woke

Anything that is about woke is without common sense and twisted and it is being push and force to your throats.

 

[Bernardougf]

Everything I don't like is woke

Oh no.. taking away male and female denominations AND putting a disclaimer about having to deal with gender in some games is normal as fuck.. not woke/pandering whatsoever
