@renwillis IIRC this character was always to some degree gender ambiguous, much like Birdo. That's kinda what gets my goose about these moral panics, this wasn’t an issue 20 years ago when the game came out, but because of culture war nonsense we have to deal with people getting upset that a minor character in a remake of a 20 year old spin off Mario game is explicitly made trans, who was never cis to begin with.
@OutofPrintArchive you should post the infamous game informer review, where the text was a glowing write up, but they gave it like a 6/10 solely because they said it was "too kiddy."

Haha, luckily I don't have any of those issues.
I kinda turned away from US magazines when they started going all in on Playstation and downplaying anything Sega was putting out.
The French Joypad and UK CVG were a lot more balanced and nowhere near as biased.
They just recommended good games, no matter what system they were on or which art style they used. 😅
N-Force 2 - August 1992 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.
The magazine has an extra cover that wraps around to add the postcards on the back, so I've included the inside cover here as well as they look a ton nicer.
