Kiss You Through The PS2 Chu-Lips

Posted by simoniker on from the horrifically-mangled-pun dept.

Thanks to GamePro for covering the news that Natsume have picked up the U.S. distribution rights for the Japanese PlayStation 2 RPG adventure Chu-lip. According to the article about this 'unique' title, "As a young boy who's just moved into the town of Tsurukame, you must build up your street cred in a quest to impress the woman of your dreams - the thing is, and the story behind this is a little complicated, you must do this by kissing as many of the town's inhabitants as possible." The aim of this very bizarre game is apparently to "work out the daily schedule of each townsperson (or towns-creature), and what he or she wants from you in exchange for a kiss."

    I guess they were trying to make this game appeal to the S&M demographic.

    If you had left out the FP and niggaz nonsense, you might have actually had a chance. You only have yourself to blame.

    Given Gabe's love of Viewtiful Joe, I can't wait to see the inevitable comic devoted to this game...

    And he probably will import it too. I mean shit, he imported that stupid goddamned "Umbrella Thieves" game...

      Umbrella thieves? Ummm... dude, Zettai Zetsumei Toshi is about an earthquake.

    2. Re:Penny Arcade by Mechanik · · Score: 1

      Well, if you actually read the appropriate Penny Arcade news post, you'd know the following:

      We received several translations of the title "Zettai Zetsumei Toshi," which means something along the lines of "the umbrella thieves." This actually kind of creeped me out - I thought it was sort of goofy to focus on losing our umbrella the way we did, but then I like fifteen people tell me that somebody taking your umbrella is practically a Goddamn epidemic in Tokyo. What's more, it's a cascading effect, so when somebody takes your umbrella, you just go take Bob-san's, and then Bob-San takes somebody else-san's umbrella, and now we're in this sorry state where proper preservation from the elements is concerned.

      a better example would be the many sim dating games that have been made in Flash. you can find a hell of a lot of them on newgrounds. I think they've got an entire catagory for them. I'd post a more exact link, but I'm behind my work's firewall at the moment.

  13. I wish more Japanese titles would come over here by HomeGroove · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I'm glad to see quirky games like these make their way over here and I wish more would. Fresh Games brought over Mr. Mosquito and Mad Maestro a while back (wonder if they'll bring Mr. Mosquito 2 over?). I'm not sure how well they did, but they retailed for around 20 bucks. I'm willing to plop down 20 bucks on a quirky Japanese title.

    Someone is bound to say, "Get a Japanese PS2." Well, I can't read Japanese so I prefer the conversions.
