[patrickthehedgehog]

"i hope that thing is for my credit card so i can buy fake shoes for my slut"

[Sho Nuff]

Sweet jesus

[Tain]

day one

[cvxfreak]

Goes well with the Noble Pink DS!

[jesusraz]

Anyone care to rehost the images, please? I'd love to see the saccharine screens :)

[M3wThr33]

Won't do well. At least not until the sequel includes bunnies and kittens.

[pilonv1]

This will be huge. What's the leading 3rd party DS game now, Tamagotchi?

[Jonnyram]

Notice how the card scanner has a DS lite version!
I wonder if it's going to be used for other stuff. It's certainly more compact than the old GBA add-on.

[polg]

WOOOFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Shard]

So.....many....pastels........eyes.......burn.....with.....pain.......

[big_z]

is this a shopping simulator?

empty your bank account directly to nintendo via credit card reader.....

[sprsk]

they actually make the clothing int he game in real life. girls wear the fashion their characters wear. this is gonna sell like ganbusters me thinks

[OatmealMu]

I feel less pretty after reading this thread. :\

[Furoba]

GOTY.

[Polari]

That sticker set is pretty awesome.

[thetrin]

Actually, this will probably do really well. The arcade version is a smash hit here in japan.

[..pakbeka..]

opening the way for nintenpony

[Pachael]

For the boys there's Mushiking (Beetle fighting) and Dinosaur King - both card-based games doing gangbusters as well though only Mushiking is out on GBA and I think the sequel to DS? So, anybody getting it? ;p

[Netrunner2k2]

This is going to be huge. Little girls love this type of crap. It also is a good reason to make parents buy another DS if they don't want one with stickers and crap all over it.

[jesusraz]

Just seen the images on another site and had to fight back the bile...

Million seller in Japan? If it's advertised with the Noble Pink DS Lite, then could well be!

[Slayven]

They should bring back the barcode scanner and use it for monster farmer ds

[moku]

Excellent. Does this mean I'll be able to use my E-reader cards(Balloon fight, Donkey Kong, e.t.c.) on my DS with this unit?

[Parallax]

bad art is bad art zap. most gaffers who complain about bad art in western games are not the target market for those either, does that stop their bitchin'??? no...so u stfu and go back to defending your corporate entity lieutenant.

Yeah, but no one ever uses Barbie Horse Adventures as an example of bad western art.

Mark my words; this game is going to be huge. Maybe even the next million-seller for DS. I already know how popular this series is among young girls and how many millions of dollars the arcade version has raked in for SEGA. So for you, dear readers, I swallowed my pride and lined up to play the most girly game ever made. Love and Berry is a card collecting music game aimed at 5-11 year old girls. At every game center in Japan there are one or more petit Love and berry arcade cabinets. These can also be found at supermarkets and convenience stores that do not normally have games of any sort. The game is played with collectable cards. Each card has a different clothing item or special skill on it. You first play dress-up with the on-screen girls and then the game begins. It is the simplest music game ever made. There is only one button. Just hit it to the rhythm. The card element is very much like the SEGA-made game for young boys named “Mushi-King” where you use bug themed cards to battle other bugs. And exactly like that game, there is always a forlorn mother standing behind their excited young offspring, holding their card albums open for them so they can quickly access just the card they need. As for the DS version, it is almost exactly the same. The graphics have been scaled down, but the sound and costumes remain in tact. I was very surprised by the amount of voice-over used in the game. It also comes with a card reader attachment so that the girls can take their cards from the arcade game and play them at home. Honing their skills in the same way DDR players train. I played around with it for about 15 minutes while a young woman explained it to me. The game will cost 6,090 yen (about $54) and it will come with the card reader and a number of cards. Including one “super-rare” one. Of course this game is not made for me and likely not for most of you reading this (with the exception of Mitch), but it is a cultural phenomenon that ranks up there with Pokemon right now and if Sega plays it’s cards right (no pun intended) the DS version could be a massive hit. Time will tell, but my money has always been on the buying power of elementary school students.

Drove me nuts hearing "MUSHIIIIIII!" all the time, haha (in Taiwan).

[thetrin]

Love and Berry is ****ing huge here in Japan. I will not be surprised at all if this ends up being a gigantic hit.

There's a Love and Berry arcade machine right next to the Mushiking 2 arcade machine near my office.

Thought I'd say that as well.
