"Nintendo has apologized for &amp;#039;failing to include&amp;#039; same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life. In a statement issued today (May 9), following criticism by an LGBT advocacy group, the company said changing the game&amp;#039;s design in its current state is impossible.  &amp;quot;We apologize for disappointing many people by failing to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life,&amp;quot; the statement reads. &amp;quot;Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change this game&amp;#039;s design, and such a significant development change can&amp;#039;t be accomplished with a post-ship patch. &amp;quot;At Nintendo, dedication has always meant going beyond the games to promote a sense of community, and to share a spirit of fun and joy.&amp;quot;  It continues: &amp;quot;We are committed to advancing our longtime company values of fun and entertainment for everyone.  &amp;quot;We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.&amp;quot; Earlier this week, Nintendo confirmed that the title will not contain same-sex relationships. Tomodachi Life will be available June 6 for Nintendo 3DS. Watch a trailer below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
