"I was also forced to get good at making Miis, because sharing them with others is extremely limited. It's restricted to local wireless, meaning you can only send a character you've made to someone in the same room. This is an enormous downgrade: In the 3DS version, you could save any Mii to a QR code and post it online, and other people around the world could scan it to instantly add that Mii to their own game."

In a video about the sequel, which comes out in April, Nintendo explained that players will be able to choose a nonbinary gender while creating their Mii's and will also be able to set their Mii's "dating preferences" to allow them to date and marry one or more genders or none at all, Kotaku reported. Fans of the original game initially petitioned Nintendo to allow gay marriage.

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. There's just been one caveat: until today, Miis have never been allowed to be gay. 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.
