Kiss You Through The PS2 Chu-Lips

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."

Kiss everyone in town?....

[jsse]

I'm not sure if I'd like to have a kiss from one of those....

Ummm WTF?

[Anonymous Coward]

And what about this (if you have flash larger version here)?

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

It looks like...

they found what geeky gamers wanted most (hot chicks) which they could not get in real life (hot chicks)

Virtual happiness :D

I have one thing to say.

[chendo]

WTF?!

I mean, if they had sexier looking chicks, maybe, but that is just horribly wrong :o

This will teach kids how to stalk the women of their dreams.

old controllers

...and you thought your old Nes controllers got crufty after a bit of use.
Just wait till these spend a bit of time beneath the sofa.

"Hmm...ow, pointy! Eww, slimy. Oh, moving! Ah-ha!
Ohhh, twenty dollars...I wanted a peanut! " -homer

I can see it now.

Anyone wanna bet that future rape crimes are going to be blamed on this?

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...

Wasn't this already done?

[weeboo0104]

In the Leisure Suit Larry series of games? OK, granted you didn't just kiss the other people in the game but still...

Chulips?

[caquillo]

Just so long as this thing doesn't let the Jovians into my house...

I wish more Japanese titles would come over here

[HomeGroove]

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.
