The unnamed man took his DS and the game to Guam where he said vows with to Nene Anegasaki, one of three virtual girlfriends featured in Love Plus. Tomorrow, the couple will have a reception held on Niconico Douga at around noon (no time zone given, check local listings on the site, if you can read Japanese). The media has been invited to attend; slides will be shown from their time dating up through the wedding.

I’ve heard of dudes marrying a mannequin before so, this not in fact the most weird-slash-creepy-slash-pathetic thing I’ve ever heard. But my forced nonjudgment about this really needs its own word. Begrimaced? Bittersad?

According to the official announcement “various reasons” have been cited for the cancellation of the Xbox 360 version. In September, both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game were released in North America.

Some on the Japanese internet are suggesting that the reason for the delay is that cute cartoon characters have four figures — “four” is the equivalent of “13″ in Japanese, a highly unlucky number that can reference death. Also, when yakuza chop off fingers to apologise for mistakes, they are left with four digits.

However, Mickey Mouse has four fingers in Japan, so not sure if I entirely buy that reason. However, the cover art for Left4Dead ran into censorship issues in Japan regarding missing fingers…

The release date for Fat Princess in Japan is TBA.

Established at the end of October in Tokyo, the name of the company is “Cyber Ai Entertainment” with “ai” being Japanese for “love” and a pun on the word “eye”. The Japanese source article does not have the official English spelling; however, the official spelling is on the LinkedIn page of Sony exec and Cyber Ai board member Takashi Usuki.

The new venture aims to commercialise the development of next-generation internet services.

Kutaragi has a 90 per cent stake in the enterprise, while Usuki has the remaining 10 per cent. The upstart has 20 million yen ($239,000) in capital.

According to 2ch, the line is in front of AsoBitCity and for the imported version of Modern Warfare 2. Pictures of lines popping up on 2ch have been suspect of late, and it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on in this photo or what even folks are waiting for.

Proceed with caution!

Square Enix will be publishing the game in Japan come this December.

The Club Nintendo present, currently announced only for Japanese customers, will set members back a mere 50 points. What they’ll get in exchange is a motion controlled Ultrahand sim, a game that involves grilling turkey, kabobs and ham, then snatching that meat and putting it on a plate. Successful meat grabbing nets players combos and flaming power-ups, adding to the thrill of Wii controller tilting. Control requires a Nunchuk and Wii Remote, acting as the Ultrahand’s two levers, plus a desire to virtually grill savory treats.

Nintendo’s Ultrahand was designed by Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi and originally released for the low price of 600 yen. And now it can be yours, for a mere 50 Club Nintendo points. Yokoi would be so proud.

Or something.

The 5th floor of Tokyo retailer LABI Ikebukuro is all DS and Wii games. Right next to the elevators, there are two Wii demo corners, and one for the DS. Then there are three DS software sections, and one for the Wii.

Make note that one of the DS software sections and the Wii accessory section are next to the restrooms.

Arriving at the sixth floor, shopper are greeted by a rack of the latest games as well as two aisles of PSP and PS3 games. The black flooring echoes Sony’s branding for the PlayStation line.

A little further, and there’s an “Advice Counter” where customers can get help with games and accessories. Right after that is the PS2 software aisle. What’s after that?

Oh. The Xbox 360 aisle. The aisle is the same size as the other aisles, but it isn’t exactly a prime location — as the Japanese internet has noted, the Xbox 360 aisle is near to the toilet.

Recently, some in Japanese retail have expressed concern about the Xbox 360 in Japan. Things might look grim for Microsoft right now (and they do!), but its upcoming Natal motion control platform could provide a much needed Japanese sales spark.
