And funnily enough they’ve changed that stance now to “we’ll see what the future holds”. It’s pure marketing manipulation at its finest. We saw it when yoshi wouldn’t give a direct answer about male viera and fem hroth and instead said look forward to the fanfest. It’s basically what they’ve done with viera and hroth hair. Look forward to it sometime in the future but not now because we need to add angel wings and parasols.
