Japanese man marries virtual girlfriend [DS]
Wednesday November 25, 01:06 PM 

A Japanese gamer has taken the highly unusual step of ‘marrying’ his videogame sweetheart, in what must have been a very bizarre ceremony recently.

The gamer, known only as Sal9000, is a big fan of the Nintendo DS romance ‘em up, ‘Love Plus’, in which players attempt to woo their digital paramours with flowers, lavish dates and such. The behaviour of these in-game girlfriends then changes dependent on how they’re treated. Ah, so true!

Ahem, anyway, Sal9000’s pretend romance came to a frankly worrying conclusion when he eventually plighted his troth to his silicon ladyfriend – a modest lass named ‘Nene Anegasaki’ – during a ceremony overseen by an actual priest and witnessed by dozens of onlookers at a recent technology festival in Tokyo.

Heck knows how Sal9000 is now planning to consummate the marriage – perhaps that’s the substance of an especially twisted Love Plus minigame. However the priest involved has since stated that the ceremony was neither official nor legally-binding. In any case the marriage, such as it is, is likely to end in disappointment, as it turns out that Sal9000 is something of a ladykiller when it comes to digital girlfriends. By all accounts he has a string of similar romances already behind him.

Hmmm, well, there’s a name for chaps like that. Either way, the words ‘only’, ‘in’ and ‘Japan’ are springing all too readily to mind...

Japan is becoming a lot like Baskin-Robbins, I must say.


I put on my [twin slasher] face.

I also go by Spectro D., Idylleaus, Malabar, and Dumb-bit Twofuck.

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

This isn't exactly new. Wasn't it like a year or so ago where a group of otaku who wanted to marry anime characters tried to make it legal? Eventually, this expanded into video game characters too.

Wouldn't that actually be a piece of paper? Who the heck would consider having sex with a piece of paper? People who never heard of paper cuts. That's who!
