Canned Dogs just reported on an accidental leak of word that a sequel of sorts to the hugely popular dating sim that transforms into a girlfriend simulator, Love Plus, is in the works-- and it's called Love Plus+. Man, that's going to be annoying when we make fun of it on the podcast. "Love Plus-Plus!" Awkward. Thanks a lot, Konami.

Seriously though, it's no surprise that a sequel is in the works; I'm sure it sold like hotcakes, especially after that one guy married his "girlfriend" on his DS. Besides, Love Plus only has three girlfriend options-- there are dozens more stereotypes and fantasies to explore! And therefore a dozen more games to be made.
 
...Of course...I should note that technically this is a rumor, and that a game called "Love Plus+" could, in fact, have absolutely nothing to do with the original game. Only time will tell...  
 
But in the meantime, What kind of girl would you like to see in a new Love Plus game? Go ahead and just spit out already-existing if you don't have an original character to talk about. I'd import Love Plus if I got to try and seduce Yoko or Celty.

@Quarkboy: Doubtless! I wonder if there'll be a tsundere in Love Plus+.

I really want to try this game out on an emulator and see what the fuse is all about.

I wouldn't hold your breath on a dating sim where one of the possible love interests is a headless mythological figure. 
 
Not even Japan is that weird...I think.

The guy that married the previous title might dump it for the new sequel! Oh how short a love it was!

-but I'm not sure if the concepts translate.

 That would be a messy split. I wonder, who would get the top half of the DS and which would get the bottom?
 
As for what kind of characters i would like to see, let me think. I always liked the idea of the quiet introverted girl, that was secretly into really kinky stuff but she just didn't know it. Plus story wise it sets up a lot of funny situations to work from. ^_^

Every time there news about Love Plus, I need to do a
*facepalm*

@crusader8463: Maybe there was a prenup?

Luckily they got a pre-nuptual. Though, I'm sure that since they were married outside of Japan, the marital court will show her little sympathy in dividing his estate.

@Quarkboy:  Easier memory management ftw

@Agent_Lost:  I think a double facepalm will be needed soon about this game :)

 
gia on Feb. 4, 2010
@BobCat: But at the same time, I'm totally curious about it.
BobCat on Feb. 5, 2010
@gia: Then I'll save the double facepalm for the guy who "marries" his Love Plus+ girlfriend :)   And maybe even use this for triple faecpalm :)    (There's also a quadruple facepalm version too I have XD)

@BobCat:
Dare I ask for a quadruple? XD

Seconded, but only because the triple had holgan's heroes in it.

i'd hope for a girl with a swimsuit similar to manaka's swimsuit...man she was sooooooo cute in that red swimsuit with white polka-dots....i could also stand for a US release of the original game....man, nene and i are going to be SOOOOOO HAPPY provided Sal9000 consummates nene's wifehood and makes it known he's dumping nene-chan for some girl in the sequel.

OK, so here's the quadruple :)
