Nintendo keep winning

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Seems like a nothing burger of little significance when there's so much more in the world to worry about.

 

[MadchesterManc]

So you choose a male or female style Mii depending on whether you're male or female

 

[MrRibeye]

Nintendo still living in 2024

 

[yogaflame]

Twisted gender ideology is one of the biggest problems of this world, fyi.

 

[nial]

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

Why is NoA always used as the scapegoat with everything Nintendo related? This is a global change, approved by the main Japanese NCL.
NoA also has zero influence on Pokémon Go, unlike TPC, a Japanese company.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Great news

 

[Trilobit]

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

I hope they do away with body parts too as that's not inclusive enough. Bodytop could be what's formerly known as head and south extremities could be feet etc. Because apparently it's so fucking hard to just use words that have been used for millennia to describe something.

[ShadyAcshuns]

Twisted gender ideology is one of the biggest problems of this world, fyi.

I agree, but it won't be solved by an afterthought of a character that doesn't have a story to tell.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I mean, this feels like the safest approach for them, and I don't blame them considering all of the "controversy" regarding it. Looking at that image, the left is clearly male, and the right is female. This feels like they're doing something that's fairly neutral between "sides".

 

[struggler_guts]

Everyone's missing the real point, besides the gender they haven't updated a damn thing about the miis, lazy ass

 

[AZRoboto]

Ummm…it's Mii who the fuck cares!?

Male men with testosterone on the internet

 

[CrimsonTide]

Everyone's missing the real point, besides the gender they haven't updated a damn thing about the miis, lazy ass

yeah it's identical to the Wii still

Microsoft said to hell with their avatars and Sony said to hell with even attempting them

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

If this wasn't called a Mii, pun intended, then it would be completely fine to me. However, I should be able to make a male character if it's intended to represent me. On principle, I take issue with that. However, I never really cared for Miis, so I'm not going to waste another thought on it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

yeah it's identical to the Wii still

Microsoft said to hell with their avatars and Sony said to hell with even attempting them

I'm surprised they even kept them honestly, especially since the others did away with their versions.

 

[Hudo]

Shame. And here I thought I could get into some dick-swinging with my massively endowed Mii.

 

[GymWolf]

I thought japanese devs gave 2 fucks and a half about the backlash from the vocal minority...

 

[E-Cat]

The horror

 

[CrimsonTide]

I'm surprised they even kept them honestly, especially since the others did away with their versions.

Same, but they def have not evolved them in any meaningful way. Feels very mid 00's. If it was me, I would just let them be vaporware. No one cares about them.

 

[Kilau]

But what of Horsekin style?

 

[BusierDonkey]

Looking at that image, the left is clearly male, and the right is female.

That's considered hate speech to some people. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

I thought japanese devs gave 2 fucks and a half about the backlash from the vocal minority...

It's Nintendo of America that does this kind of shit and butchers localizations to be more western. The whole branch should just be shuttered, then replaced with a handful of nerds and an AI translator.

 

[cireza]

Games can still do that.

Ok, but which one ? They should add this information below this sentence. Would help me decide.

 

[MiguelItUp]

That's considered hate speech to some people. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

True, but this is a topic where either "side" has extremes that feel that way, so it's impossible to make everyone happy. For Nintendo to be as big as they are, I feel like this could be the most "in the middle" approach. It very well could've had a different outcome.

 

[StereoVsn]

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

 

[Kacho]

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".

It's gotta be the weirdos at NoA telling NoJ we collectively care about this nonsense.

 

[RodriGames40]

What's the point of this? Is NoA seriously this retarded now?

 

[DeepEnigma]

The horror

Trans people in shambles right now. They can't identify as anything with their Mii Mii's.

 

[Roman Empire]

 

[Kacho]

What's the point of this? Is NoA seriously this retarded now?

Yes. They are total ResetEra/Bluesky posters.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

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

So when Nintendo does it, the ultimate chud king becomes a hypocrite? Shocked I tell you.

 

[Kacho]

It's called nuance™

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I just came in for the, no doubt, sick burns and I'm already being rewarded handsomely.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Penis is my style

wait that came out wrong

 

[Labadal]

I thought japanese devs gave 2 fucks and a half about the backlash from the vocal minority...

They sell too much in the West, and in the end the greed wins.

Had I had a console pre-order, this wouldn't have made me cancel, but they are still letting a minority of people with a serious mental illness dictate how a lot of things go. Embarrassing.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Hunter Schafer as Zelda confirmed

Many will skip if they go this route.

 

[neocycle]

The horror

A trigger warning for genderloonies.

 

[Pejo]

So technically this means everybody that owns a Switch 2 is trans?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

My new gender is Penis Style.

 

[Hookshot]

Apparently in Smash Ultimate if a Switch Mii fights a Switch 2 Mii the match instantly ends. I guess because the Switch 1 Mii's are bigoted scum.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

 

[DeepEnigma]

So technically this means everybody that owns a Switch 2 is trans?

Actually, no. Trans means to identify as another sex/gender.

This is genderless. Thus it's trans erasure.

 

[zokie]

i am glad i did not buy a switch 2

 

[ハトリス]

Probably only in English. Will check later on my superior Japanese version

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

womp womp

Guess that thing launched today. *shrug*

 

[Justinus]

My only question is: Will this be the same language used worldwide? As in Europe and Japan? Or is this just the language used for North American consoles only?

 

[nkarafo]

Everything I don't like is woke

Ok but please explain how can this specific example can be anything but woke?

Seems like a nothing burger of little significance when there's so much more in the world to worry about.

You are right. It's not like this little thing escalated to the point where it has changed all media for the worse.

True, but this is a topic where either "side" has extremes that feel that way, so it's impossible to make everyone happy.

What are the extremes of the other side?

Acknowledging men and women is extreme now?

Shit, i'm old.

 

[DeepEnigma]

What are the extremes of the other side?

Acknowledging men and women is extreme now?

Shit, i'm old.

Crazy, right?

 

[semiconscious]

That word Switch has a new meaning now.

here's to all the switch-gender female lesbians out there...

 

[Woopah]

Why would anyone be against this?
