  • rasmg, on 11/15/2009, -1/+81breaking news. most gamers can't get past the 1st level.
  • unfromcool, on 11/15/2009, -1/+67I don't get it, you press the stylus to her mouth to kiss her? If I press my stylus against a girl's mouth she better do more than just kiss! Know what I'm sayin'?!?

    I'm so lonely.
  • sbcea, on 11/14/2009, -1/+45Ew! Kissing??? A .... g-g-g-g-girl?
  • lolerskate, on 11/15/2009, -0/+43DONT DATE ROBOTS!
  • KevinRowz, on 11/15/2009, -1/+28So how do you... I mean... I didn't know the DS had any large ports.
  • robertisaar, on 11/15/2009, -2/+28a Futurama episode predicted this....
  • nouman1989, on 11/14/2009, -3/+29That could save the day for a lot of Diggers[including me ].
  • VenDrake, on 11/15/2009, -0/+18Don't worry, I'm sure they'll have one soon that lets you kiss a boy.
  • ClevelandBrown, on 11/15/2009, -2/+19so ronely...
  • schrutefan, on 11/15/2009, -1/+17Does it also make you put up with nagging, not being able to do anything you want to, and mocking in the bedroom? If so, add a Fleshlight and I'm sold. That would be a more cost-effective upgrade over my current girlfriend.
  • robotmaster, on 11/15/2009, -0/+14so ronery

    FTFY
  • Onion575, on 11/15/2009, -0/+14Just curious, when does it come out in the US ? (not like it will effect my life in any way...)
  • Leezus, on 11/15/2009, -0/+9It's harder than Viewtiful Joe!
  • Akairenn, on 11/15/2009, -0/+8Nah, I'd rather stay home and make out with my Monroebot.
  • ryrocker, on 11/15/2009, -1/+8<3 lucy lu
  • Onion575, on 11/15/2009, -0/+6Finally, something harder than I Wanna Be the Guy.
  • sunburner, on 11/15/2009, -1/+7It's always Japan to do things like this first.
  • ryrocker, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5the japanese
  • Nidis, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5This makes me think of the series Chobits, and how sad some of this must make real japanese girls feel who are genuinely in love. They'll never be quite as perfect as designer fantasy.

    God that was a sad story.
  • Terwa, on 11/15/2009, -0/+4I died at least 6 times on the first screen. ***** that game.

  • Rockyn, on 11/15/2009, -0/+4Natal sex FTW!!!
  • darthjure, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3The girls in that trailer look way too young!. They look like 12 years old! Surely the designers realized that this would appeal to an older audience so they should have some college-age girls, not tween girls.
  • OmicronNine, on 11/15/2009, -2/+5Q: "Did you do it?"

    Koh: "No, no! The girl's face shows up on the screen, and you have to touch her lips to give her a kiss. That's pretty weird.... this is embarrassing. I'm sweating right now just talking about it."


    WOW. This is a grown married man? Really? This guy puts the stereotypical digger to shame.
  • peterinjapan, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3A post I made on the Love Plus game from the standpoint of a gamer and anime fan. It's quite fun, although the "skinship" is the best part. (You stroke her ears, hair, forehead and so on to get her in the mood for kissing, but you have to do it when people aren't looking).

  • lostmessiah, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3Cherry 2000 beta officially released, testing now.
  • digitalrainman, on 11/15/2009, -1/+4Next up, Nintendo DS fleshlight accessory.
  • replaysMike, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2I hate you
  • leland1, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2Watching the game demo video, I hope nobody will sandwich any personal parts (including the lips) between the two halves of the Nintendo DS as they close it. Yikes! It's like making love to your DS!
    :-O

  • thizzlebot, on 11/15/2009, -1/+3SAD.
  • Axeman20, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2....

    I lol'd

    But then I thought about it.

    And I lol'd some more!

  • satchthegreat, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2okay...thanx but no thanx, i dont think anybody is that hard-up. and they put it on a handheld system no less, who would play that kind of game in public?
  • zinc6471, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2i love the lame mp3 for my music second to lossless.
  • LordKorax, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Girlfriends are too expensive. Maybe I'll get a used one a few months after release.
  • Polycarp87, on 11/15/2009, -1/+2Why am I not surprised to learn which country invented this?
  • explodingzebras, on 11/15/2009, -1/+2Why not make it for the Wii instead, imagine the adaptor that fits round the controller... :D
  • LarkStew, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Does she nag you right when you're about to beat level 10 too?
  • Terwa, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Chulip?
  • Philbert, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Dating sims are hilarious. The Love Hina one for GBA was awesome though, it was almost word for word the whole TV series.

    The whole Idoru thing reminds me of the anime movie Armitage III where a popular country singer is found to be an android, that's a small part of the plot though.

  • Averness, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1This can and has been taken much further. There are Japanese PC games that use detailed 3D models that are fully functional with hardcore sex after all that dating stuff. The game that comes to mind is called Sexy Beach 3, though I know there are others.

    This is nothing new, except that it's on the DS.
    See for yourself in this trailer.

  • DeaderThanElvis, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Ante-natal sex FTW!
  • bcassner, on 11/15/2009, -1/+1Sometimes things from the past are a lot better than today. A real girl you can actually feel a pulse instead of a sweaty screen, The Sears Christmas Catalog instead of the Internet, S&H green stamps...etc.
  • imkookoo, on 11/15/2009, -0/+0Wrong:

  • Cleremond, on 11/16/2009, -0/+0Can I touch her inappropriately?

    8^)
  • aqweio, on 11/15/2009, -4/+3Sounds like this game was made for people like you.

    And me.
  • BrownieMix, on 11/15/2009, -4/+1I need this...

    well not really
  • captininsanity, on 11/15/2009, -9/+4And this is why Japan's population is dwindling...
