Konami, not content with creating the game that had turned countless Japanese men into the proud boyfriends of hunks of plastic by way of Love Plus on the DS, are now are plotting to extend their control over the Japanese population at larger scale, via the introduction of the Love Plus Arcade.
The arcade versions are now undergoing a test run at Tokyo Leisureland in Akihabara for a limited period.
While not much info on the arcade machine is yet available, it is widely believed that it will also use a touch interface, as with the DS version of the game. Myriad paid extras seem likely as well.
Konami has also doubtless been investigating the success of the original IdolMaster arcade experience – these machines hooked countless men into virtual relationships which could only be progressed by dutiful attention to the coin slot, a promising business opportunity if ever there were one, even more so considering the power of Nene.

WOW! This all though cool, will leave more girls for the rest of us.
Usually you have to regularly spend a lot of time on dating sims. More money milking. ^_^
So what's next? Love Plus tournaments? Obviously whoever uses the Konami code first is the winner.
Creepy... But possible :b yeackh! Merely every aspect of gaming has to have tournaments on it.
Konami code = get all girls... LOLZ!
Obviously a death flag for Japanese men....
I wonder, wouldn't it be somewhat good if you connect the DS to that machine?
Not really.
You have your very own DS Nene in your pocket, with all the mini-games and endless flirting included, compared to dozen of men who has soiled that "joystick" and pushed all her buttons, to play the same mini-games, all for 300yen.
Apart from the memorial printout when you play the game and providing for those who can't afford a DS (sadly, me T_T), you're not really missing anything.
@ TNinja 00:08 :
That might be "cool", but as Shrobby pointed out, they want to milk users of their money.
@ Yoshi-kun 01:02 :
Better run a spreadsheet to see how many arcade plays of this game equals the price of a DS unit and the Love+ game.
There are also people who foolishly pay exhoribitant interest rates by "leasing" new cars, and taking out "payday loans", etc.
Arcade-console Nene will certainly suck many of them dry (in regards to money).
Don't forget to take into consideration that there will be no fapping in the public arcade. ^_^
2013...SKYNENE has Japan in her moe~grip...
IT'S JUDGMENT DAY!!!
*Moe~ Version of the Terminator Theme plays in the background*
That said, it's 'gonna get taken home' one night when nobody's looking...
@extrovertedotaku : Love+ girls with joysticks??? Noooooooooooooooooooo
Now all we need is a mechanical hymen arcade machine.
now that would be gross...
Share the love, be milk brothers.
The experience of viewing Nene at lifesize is worth the 300 yen. They need the DS porting ability so DS holders can join in too.
looks like it's time to plan a trip to japan to scoop up some lonely guy craving girls :D
Why would they crave a piece of lard like you?
Love when people says lard instead of fat ^_^
This is why punctuation is important. "lonely guy craving girls" tells me you want a guy that is craving girls. You are missing a hyphen. 'Guy-craving' a single property of 'girls' and is hyphenated. While we're here, 'girls' has two adjectives and should be separated by 'and' or - more commonly - a comma. Result: "Looks like it's time to plan a trip to japan to scoop up some lonely, guy-craving girls."

give up, 99% of anon do not even know the difference between "your" and "you're"
I actually thought that's what he meant - that he wanted to scoop up some creepy salarymen.
You talk as if there was some shortage of girls or something. The reason you're not getting any is not that girls are scarce, it's just that they don't like you.
No. The true reason behind everything bad is that you all suck. Life is easy.
While this is true to an extent there are a shortage of average looking girls because hot girls are becoming stuck up or chasing rich older guys and ugly girls don't stand a chance with any guy with working eyes, thus single average girls are pretty scarce.
I'll bet there will be some integration to the DS version of Love Plus... special dates, outfits, sexual positions...
Doesn't that make Nene a whore? :S
Why yes, yes it does.
So if only otakus are blue and they can truly be the smurfs with only one girl in their community
Would make interesting news if one otaku were to to stand guard next to the machine to prevent other men from touching his girl.
She already is...
This does seem cool and all. But, on the other hand, we are watching the Japanese tank their own coountries birthrate.

i guess as long as there are people that need love lessons or just are not gifted with social graces, there will be someone around to take advantage of them. but i guess they are just providing a service, and the people using the machines are happy so i can't complain. kudos konami.
Lol, the screen in the arcade's gonna be all wet and sticky from so many guys kissing the screen. And then AIDS will spread.
I dont see a hole where you insert your dick in those arcades. Pff, useless..
I need to buy a lot of tokens now.
I get the feeling, these machines will be stolen by the end of the day.
A lot of otaku are going to touch the (money) slits of the Love Plus girls.
LOL, I saw what you did there, Schrobby! >^^<
really? does he actually look like that(his avatar) in person, lol. i tease*
I get the feeling, these machines will be married by the end of the day.
fixed for you...
look like very good if i live at japan.
You're not sure?
But those will have to keep track of the progress or maybe they will use the infos of the DS cartridge?
Otherwise I cant see this working
It probably saves the data on USB sticks or some server. Without saving it would be unusable.
I'm sure Konami has thought of a good way to solve that. Like having you insert (your)USB card into (their)USB slot.
I wonder how long it will take before they are vandalized by angry (ex)girlfriends...
As if people who would actively play these games (in a public place, no less) would already have a girlfriend...
Some have, others don't. You haven't read SC enough, I'm afraid.
"these machines hooked countless men into virtual relationships which could only be progressed by dutiful attention to the coin slot"
So I guess the relationship lasts as long as you got enough coins to feed to the machine...
...holy shit, just like real women.
Real women are a thousand times more expensive.
And life is a fatal disease.. blah-blah-blah! :P
