168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be the first game to feature openly gay charact🍬ers in the Nintendo♚ canon.

A recent thread on shared the hypothesis, providing screenshots of dialogue with CJ, the new host of the Fishing Tournament and one of the new characters in New Horizons. Several times duri💖ng his dialogue he refers to Flick, the new h𒅌ost of the Bug Catching Tournament, as his "partner."

While some have pointed out that "partner" could be a professional term, used to describe their relationship as "business partners," others f🔯irmly believe that this is a reference to a romantic partnership. Others have pointed out that in CJ's dialogue, the lines in which he refers to Flick as his "partner" have nothing🏅 to do with business; rather, it appears he's just sharing factoids about someone he's very close to.

Observant players have also found additional evidence regarding the inclusion of same-sex couples in the game. When talking with another resident, Merry, players can talk to her about their favorite kind of comics. If the player selects "Romantic comedy" as their preference, Merry talks about her favorite comic🍎, which is about "the shred-tastic Princess of Rocketboarding and her true love, the Princess of Explosions."

New Horizons also s🌺aw the removal of binary "boy" and "girl" classifications when players choose their avatar. Additionally, players' avatars now have the ability to wear all kinds of clothing.

All these changes, combined with these dialogue hints, have led players to applaud Nintendo for𒁏 their increased efforts at inclusivity in the game.

However, it is important to note that these changes appear to be specific to the Western localization of the game, as the Japanese relea🍌se still asks players to choose from binary gender options and omits the LGBTQ🍸 character references. In his Japanese dialogue, CJ refers to Flick as "friend" rather than as his "partner."

Nintendo has not commented o♈n this matter, nor confirmed or denied the claims, at this time.

Notably, Nintendo's Fire Emblem franchise has featured characters in past games who could achieve an S-support level (romantic) ending with same-sex characters. However, t♊hose decisions were player-driven,꧒ and therefore not part of the actual canon story of the game.

Regardless of what Nintendo's intentions were when developing New Horizons, it is still very cool to see their increased awareness towards inclusivity in the game, as well as to see so many fans' excitement over the possible inclusion of the first canonically, openly gay characters in the Animal Crossing series and in an official Nintendo game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available n🐻ow, exclusively for the Nintendo💫 Switch.
