Didn't think you'd be black 

Y'know, it is weird they don't have different skin colors. I'd feel weird being a white dude when I'm actually black in real life(and vice versa).

 

Hopefully Nintendo recognized this and adds it as a free DLC/update/whatever you want to call it m80.


They do have different skin colors. That's the issue. Being black is more than just a skin color. We have different completely hair, lips, and noses than other ethicities. None of that is represented, and it's literally imposible to make a character that looks like they are of african decent without even the most limited of options for each.

And it's even more aggrivating when a game has these options, but using them results in an ugly abomination like what is posted above. Not to be vain, but I'm very confident in the way I look, and I've had that confidence reinforced many times by many people. So it's agrivating when I can't make a handsome looking black person who looks like me at least a little. I was absolutely over the moon when Destiny had the option for a wider nose that wasn't ugly, bigger lips that weren't stereotypical, and dreads what didn't look dirty-hippie-like Bob Marley's. And that was still limited, but I was absolutely thrilled, because I'm literally not asking for a lot. Just one wide nose option, one larger lip option, and maybe 5 different hairstyles that have the nappy afro-decent hair texture instead of the stright/waivy/curly hair textures that are exclusive to every other race on the planet.

I understand man. Black people always have white people with no soul ruin their culture with stereotypical(and ugly) features that don't even represent what black people actually look like.

 

Be as confident as you want. Hopefully Nintendo adds more customization for blacks/other minorities before the game releases. If they don't, then it'd be cool if they added it as a free update.

 

I guess that Nintendo might not add extra customization. It'll really disappoint me if they don't, but at least they're putting so much effort into the game. They probably didn't focus much on it because Japan is mainly white-skinned people, so they overlooked it. Nothing wrong if you do, 'cause you actually got a reason
