Nintendo to Publish Digital Romance Novels in Japan

Nintendo and Genius Sonority team up to bring a wide variety of novels to the Nintendo DS.

In the past, whenever Genius Sonority had partnered with Nintendo, the games were usually about Pokémon. While they did develop the well-received 100 Classic Book Collection for the Nintendo DS, their efforts with Nintendo have been somewhat limited to the Pokémon franchise.

Their latest title though, scheduled for release in Japan late next month, is a collection of digital romance novels from the Harlequin Series. Entitled Love Stories for Adults: DS Harlequin Selection, the game contains 33 novels, including five of which have never been released in Japan. The titles span quite a few genres as well, including Passion, Tender, Suspense, and Historical.

Besides reading, the program also includes a character relation chart which is developed as readers progress through the stories. In addition to this, font sizes can be adjusted for people with poor vision, and the ability to look through a glossary to find definitions for key terms and names is present.

The collection is priced at ¥3,800.

Reminds me, I DO still need to import 100 Classics for the DS.

This would be the PERFECT title for the DSi XL. If I recall correctly, the DSi XL was designed for titles like this and other stuff like movies and TV shows. The larger screens would provide the perfect opportunity for people to read books on the DSi.

The question on my mind: is this getting the black box?

This would go good with the Digital Bibles that Nintendo leaves inside their Love Hotels.

Man, I had that game in my collection. I enjoyed it a lot... despite only being able to beat the first level. I guess life is like that when you're a kid.
