I'm just interested why Nintendo are including little pieces of gender role subversions in their games of late.

I know what you mean and I think it's worth appreciating that they're embracing it, but I don't know how far back it goes. It was a pretty big deal for some that male characters in New Leaf could wear dresses.

I haven't looked carefully at the character models but aren't they identical other than hair?if Nintendo was really trying to be political they would probably leave it all as appearance options instead of explicitly saying boy or girl.

The school outfit in Splatoon 1 was gendered so it'll probably be the same again.

I figured that was two girl inklings. It would be cool if hairstyles weren't gendered as well.

I guess I'm just going to pretend that the squids in splatoon don't have genders and the boy/girl options are just colloquialisms for humans and has nothing to do with their actual gender.

I hate the short hair option the new female inkling amiibo has going on. Something about it just looks weird and wrong to me. Same with the Skrillex hair that the boys sometimes had in the testfire.

Japan's culture and response to crossdressing is VERY different from that of the west. Its not just Nintendo. (This is both good and bad depending) Its not even necessarily trans people. People dressing as the opposite sex is like, a major trope in Eastern literature / media. Where over here in the west its something that's been really uncomfortable until recently. But that doesn't mean they're super progressive, just... different.

Now I know what to get for my Switch, thanks ! I was already interested in a front cover / soft pouch combo and this one is perfect. Apparently it will release around the same time as the game.

Other than the nice decals. It's useful to protect your screen from impacts when in your bag if you use a soft pouch, since unlike a screen protector, it won't break. If you use a hard case then yeah, not very useful.

Someone's hacking the game in the match I'm in. They're coving the entire map in ink instantly and remote killing squids from LOS. It's loving weird.

https://twitter.com/splatoonjp/status/855350844996198400 The old amiibo have the original gear unlocks from the first game, in addition to the other amiibo features (saving your loadout, taking photos with the character). I wonder what Callie and Marie will do...

In AC:NL, they let you have the other gender's hair too after a bit, I'm wondering if they'll do the same for inklings
