Nintendo Miis are post-gender on Switch 2

We are on the eve of And a few last minute details are still flowing. Like many other Nintendo consoles, you create a MI to represent yourself during the configuration. With Switch 2, the Mii has no sex. I first noticed this detail, and we were able to confirm it independently.

When you create a new avatar, the console simply asks you to “select a style for your MII”. Styles look like the same stock models as several generations of previous equipment used as male and female models, but Switch 2 has no pronoun or other gender signifiers attached to one or the other. Although Nintendo has no hypothesis on the Mii genre, he recognizes that some games could do it. The second line of the creative screen says: “Some games can use style as a gender indicator.”

Nintendo has already used gender -free language in individual games. This was the case for the creation of characters in recent titles Splatoon 3 And Animal crosspiece: New HorizonsIt therefore seems to be in accordance with the current approach of the company to put this neutral attitude at the material level.
