Tomodachi Life is supposed to be about “all the dramatic ups and downs of life,” but Nintendo has rejected pleas from fans to allow same-sex relationships in the game.

In Nintendo's upcoming 3DS game Tomodochi Life, your virtual self can do almost anything. You can meet someone, fall in love, and even get married.
Unless you're gay.
The English version of the simulation game debuts June 6. In a promo video released last month, Nintendo explains that the game lets you "create virtually anyone you can think of," and then "interact with them in hysterical ways." Seconds later, the video makes a point of emphasizing its relationships, showing Mii characters dating and marrying.
