I never dreamt that one day I’d be able to live this openly, or have a character I could play as and say with joy: “Hey, that’s me!” 🥰🏳️‍⚧️ Thank you again, for remembering & thinking of LGBT, BLT, etc. Growing up, the closest I could come to having representation of myself was playing as Chun-Li, Princess Peach, Samus, et al. To know that the protagonist is trans herself, however, puts the game in a new light, and I’m considering getting it to celebrate Pride month! I’m wondering if Maddie’s difficult journey is symbolic of the uphill climb trans, and lgbt individuals, face in everyday life? It sounds like Maddie is me, battling depression & self esteem issues, from a lifetime of dysphoria & the feeling of living in the wrong body! 💖 I don’t have the time, or mental energy for “NES hard” these days. I’ve heard so much about it, but was turned off hearing of the difficulty level. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 In a cis & hetero-normative world, it warms my heart to know about games like Celeste, and that we do matter enough to have a place in gaming.

Mon 13th Jun & Nintendo Life, thank you for this article! I deeply appreciate it as a transgender, lesbian woman who is finally living the life she was meant to live, at 45 years old.

We're spoiled for choice!īut what exactly constitutes an "LGBTQ+ game", anyway? It's more than just a game that has some representation in it - it's a game that's proudly representative, that wears its queerness on its sleeve.įor example, we're not counting games like Overwatch, which has LGBTQ+ representation in characters like Tracer and Soldier 76, but who were both confirmed to be gay in material outside of the game, and we're not including Miitopia, Harvest Moon, and Story of Seasons, because even though they let players marry characters of the same gender, they call it "best friends" - which is pretty dismissive in 2022. Not only do we have enough games with strong LGBTQ+ themes on the Nintendo Switch that we can actually make a list, but all of these games are exceptionally good. The games industry has not always been good at portraying LGBTQ+ relationships and identities, but thanks to the efforts of small studios, indie developers, and LGBTQ+ creators, that's beginning to change.
