Nintendo has celebrated Pride with a new category of games on the Switch eShop, causing some controversy among players.
As the Splatoon 3 community decides to celebrate Pride Month by filling the Tintelia plaza with messages of support, Nintendo wanted to take a somewhat controversial step to support the LGBTQIA+ community. The company has added a new category in the Nintendo Switch eShop what has caused some controversy and anger between the players.
And it is that, as discovered by the Pikachu Girl’s Twitter accountadded a “Hidden Gems” category on the US eShop. Its symbology uses rainbow colors and, as can be seen, collects games with LGBTQIA+ characters as a wink for the month in which we are.
What has caused some anger, and has sparked this controversy among players, is that this new category of the Nintendo Switch eShop is present, but It seems more like a wink on the sly. appears as a age rating category of the games, and instead of openly acknowledging what it is, it seems to want to hide it behind that hidden gem title.
This has caused some discomfort among players of the collective. Some are happy that Nintendo has done something that gives them more recognition and support; but, on the other hand, they are not entirely happy about that name that camouflages what it does.
Be that as it may, at Nintendúo we have been able to verify that this category is not available in the Spanish eShop and that, for the moment, it is only available in North American territory. And you, what do you think about it?
