Nintendo Co. Ltd. has removed a “bug” from the Nintendo 3DS title, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, which allowed players to create same-sex couples in the game.

Players noticed this was an option when they began to migrate their virtual Mii avatars from the Nintendo Wii U to the portable version of the game.
