[td][QUOTE]New LovePlus, sequel to 2009's rather depressingly-popular girlfriend-simulator LovePlus launches today, complete with a few unique features. You can see the trailer to the right there. It features a cadre of implausibly attractive Japanese people waving their 3DSs around in what seems like a fairly unsafe fashion, while an endless stream of virtual schoolgirls tilt their heads to one side like dogs trying to comprehend an abstract painting.

In New LovePlus Players can use the 3DS' augmented reality features to interact with and photograph their virtual girlfriends in whatever real world locations they can feasibly reach. Konami plans to release a new AR card for the game every Monday.

For players unwilling to restart their virtual relationship on a new system, Konami is offering a save data import system on the Nintendo eShop for 200 yen (about $2.50).

Konami has also announced a paid service called New LovePlus: Girlfriend Mail. Players who sign up from the service will receive e-mails from their virtual girlfriends regarding her virtual day-to-day activities. Players can even link the service with their game save so the emails use their in-game nicknames. The service will eventually cost around $4 a month, but Konami is allowing players to try the service for free until March.

This isn't an entirely new idea, Missing: Since January (In Memoriam for you European-types) had a similar system. Admittedly those emails are supposed to be from a serial murder, and thus are probably somewhat less uplifting than daily reports on what Rinko-chan had for breakfast, but at least they don't cost $4 a month.[/QUOTE][/td]

I gave that bitch full rune and she only dates me for a month

[JennyC6]

I can't help but laugh at this. My fat, inept, introverted, socially-awkard arse managed to land someone special, and if I can do it anyone can.

I guess this might be an ok gag gift to sign your friends up to, but beyond that? I see no point.

[tnk]

The part at 2.03 looks pretty cool, but this whole concept is just hilarious

The murderer sending you emails sounds really cool, I wish more games did things like that.

You have to remember this is Japan, their culture practically dictates males to be introverted anti-socials at this point.

Mr Clarkson and I do seem to share many similar viewpoints, but alas, I'm not. If I was I'd be too busy powersliding Lamborghinis to be posting on Facepunch about silly 3DS games :P

So basically clones of me, because that's how I am. Yet, I found love. It isn't hard. So again, I see no point in this beyond a gag gift.

I get that you are happy about your gf, but finding love is hard as fuck. Why else would [del]half[/del] 90% of FP be single virgins?

[Awesomecaek]

I am wondering, is there a script or plugin to disable the [table] tags entirely?

Lack of trying I'd surmise. Same reason I didn't have one through high school, I just didn't give a shit and didn't even try.

Although, to be perfectly honest, if I said I tried to find it I'd be lying. I just made a few close friends and didn't drive them away. I ended up madly in love with one of them, and them me. I couldn't tell you how it happened, but I'm glad it did.

It really isn't hard at all. I'm as socially inept as they come and I managed it. If I can do it anyone can. It's just a matter of meeting the right person and not driving them away.

I suppose you and most of FP would like it if I broke her trust and posted tits, right?

Not gonna happen.

[Chekko]

Nintendos greed is greater than... Activision? Impossible.

Your move, Activision. I can't wait to get daily email from my fake US Marine in Afghanistan for $20.

[Blitzkrieg Zero]

At this point im not even surprised...

You're not very anti-social if you can function among other people

[editline]14th February 2012[/editline]

or have friends

[Fatfatfatty]

Dying alone, now in a pocket edition!

[Gorou]

New LovePlus reeks of deranged but sad tales of marriage to gaming devices!

[Carecup]

Preordered.

But...
You can't even classify that as a placebo effect since you're aware it's fake.
What's the point?

[Daniel Smith]

No wonder why the Japanese population is going to shrink by a third in 2060.

[themodtester]

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

[JustGman]

Is this the same thing that people were marrying?

This comic is literally dripping with irony, yet somehow still not funny.

Also: At least Nintendo knows their target audience.

[Don Knotts]

This game makes my stylus rock hard.
