An otaku erogamer has procured no less than 43 copies of newly released remade eroge title Shin Koihime Musou, in what must rank as one of the most expensively pointless mega-purchases to date.
Each copy cost in the region of ¥10,000, so in total he spent nearly $5,000 on the title…
“I’ve built it! The Tower of Babel!”
It’s not clear why he needed all these copies (“to save them” he says in the thread), but speculation generally centres on some collection motive, such as telephone cards or similar (though there are unlikely to be 43 different cards on offer).
Surely, he must have some motive other than building the Tower of Babel, as games are not exactly ideal for display en masse, unlike figures…

The game was sort of fun, but the story was fucking near retarded and went on and on…
Really was no god damn reason for the giant size either, even with a lot of voiced stuff..
Tat;s freaking gay, srsly.
but Shin Koihime Musou is a kill, 1 guy zillions of girls at ur disposal. OH YEAH
though the ending is still cheesy… bleh, who cares
Hmm, he did it for the LOLs? or to impress 2chers I suppose 😛
maybe I need to live in Japan and apply as a programmer to get these babies.
i wonder where otakus get their loads of money buy things like this on a whim. otakus must be aliens with really good money counterfeit machines from the planet otakon.
Think in Nagato Yuki and Asakura Ryoko.
