Menial Labor: The Videogame

Mister Donut DS
This Japanese boxart for a Mister Donut themed DS game makes me hungry but also raises an important question – when are we going to get Tim Hortons The Videogame? (Or Starbucks for those on the other side of the border.)

I’d also be curious to know if the game allots time to contemplate life. I’m all for kids learning how to make coffee properly, but since I’m given to believe that this release joins a series of career games, wherein the other careers have been nurse, teacher, veterinarian, I can’t help thinking that if those are the jobs your friends have while you’re making donuts all day, you’d want some free time to ponder where you took a wrong turn.

Robot Fish & Arcade Dreams

Darius Burst Arcade
Taito’s latest cabinet for the continuing saga of blasting the life robotic aquatic reminds me why it’s miserable living in a place where you’ve got better odds of being struck by lightening than finding an arcade.

Darius Burst Another Chronicle goes uber-wide for four players later this year in Japan according to the official site.

Add this to the list of reasons it may finally be time to organize a very long Gamesugar super-shmup-friends trip overseas.

Expressing Your Love in Public

Love Plus Arcade
I didn’t think the saga of Love Plus could get any stranger than carrying your girlfriend around on your DS, and in at least one case marrying it, so touche Konami on this apparent Love Plus Arcade sneak attack. Keep in mind what I don’t know about this deal at the moment could fill a warehouse – is this the speed dating edition? Is there a slot where you can give it gifts? Could I have more fun speculating all day long versus actually knowing? You bet!

I’m not sure how many readers here are in Japan and near enough to the upcoming location test, but if you’re into public displays of affection you can check out Konami’s page here.
