To Love-Ru: Milk-squirting joins butt-slapping
We thought we'd seen the most risqué content To Love-Ru had to offer with its bottom-slapping minigame -- we were wrong. Kotaku discovered that one of the more innuendo-laden minigames involves squirting, um, milk at a strawberry held by Lala, pink-haired alien girl and love interest of protagonist Rito.Those with an interest in either of the activities mentioned in our title will be able to import this from August 28th. Meanwhile, if you missed it first time, the full (N entirely SFW) trailer is past the break.
To-Love-Ru: Do I have something on my butt?
File this one as another crazy Japanese game. We knew about To-Love-Ru awhile back, but we never knew it'd be like this. As you can see in the video above, the main goal of the game seems to be slapping young ladies on their bottoms. Well, maybe not slapping them so much as clearing evil little things away from their backside. Move over, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan. There's a new almost-obscene title in town.[Via Kotaku]
To-Love-Ru: a game and pun that will never make it outside Japan
To-Love-Ru is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of the English words "trouble" (toraburu) and "love" (rabu). Unfortunately, the pun just doesn't fit native English phonology as well; to put a finer point on it, "tlovel" isn't all that funny or clever-sounding. Too bad. It's pretty neat that a pun on English words only works in another language's sound system, though, right?Anyway, To-Love-Ru is also a manga/anime property that is being made into a DS game by Marvelous Entertainment. The manga is about a high-school boy, Rito, who gets involved with some alien princess thing and hilarity and awkward social situations ensue -- your basic manga stuff. What is interesting to us is how Marvelous has chosen to undertake this adaptation: they're calling the DS To-Love-Ru game a "2D digital comic with 3D touch action." Minigames on the DS are no big deal, but we like seeing more publishers getting the idea that the best way to adapt comics to the DS is just to put them on there.[Via Siliconera]
