Have you ever wanted to have a physical release for your video game, but don't think you have the budget to do it? Do you love physical media, and want to hold the game you worked so hard on in your hands?

no but for real "Nonbinary" is CRAZY for Nintendo

no "other", no quirky "i dunno!", no "bodytype c"

Nintendo straight up used proper gender terminology what the fuck
