[YEAH BABY! WIPE THAT SWEAT!] Duel Love for the DS
Here comes Grey, downloading Japanese games in her DS again. Screw how she hardly understands any of it.
Doesn't the art look familiar?
That's because it is. It's a dating game for the Nintendo DS, with art from Hisaya Nakajo, the same mangaka who gave us Hana-Kimi.
Genre? Dating Sim. Yeah... remember that time I played Meine Liebe in Japanese just for the Kaori Yuki art? Yeah...
Whatever Semblance of a Plot it Has:
You're in this school.
There are hot stereotype guys (the cool guy, the cheerful and sporty guy, the long haired princely guy, the megane and the shouta) who you can fall for.
THERE IS AN UNDERGROUND FIGHTING ARENA BENEATH THE SCHOOL.
And all the five guys you can chose fight in this arena for reasons unknown to this non-Japanese speaker/reader. You take care of (one of) these guys, cheering them on and helping them train and...
I kid you not. You wipe their sweat. But before we get to that...
The Characters (now updated with seiyuus!):
1) Yuki Jin (Namikawa Daisuke) - He's the black-haired guy. He hardly smiles. In Hana-kimi terms, he's Sano Izumi. He should smile more. The lead guy. I wanna kick his ass.
2) Asakura Yuma (Fukuyama Jun... no really?!) - The red-headed guy, think Nakatsu. He smiles a lot. He hangs around with Jin too much. When he blushes he looks like a monkey. He cooks. He screams ORAORA. He gets topped by shoutas, much to my chagrin.
3) Nagao Shinichiro (Yusa Kouji) - The megane dude. Think Kayashima dipped in a vat of megane with sugar. I wanted to get him first, but misread the names and got the faggy blonde guy. Hangs out in the library like your stereotype megane. I'm waiting for him to pull out an otaku joke. Trust the megane to point out that you're wearing a made outfit. The sensitive guy in the group. Knits mufflers. Sissy. Grey refuses to find his habit of giving you animal charms and plushies cute. KITTENS!!!!!
4) Ryuzoji Kei (Okiayu Ryoutarou... figures)- F-F-F-FABULOUS blonde guy with long long hair. Music fag. I was going to say Oscar M. Himejima, but he actually makes sense. So maybe it's Nanba in Oscar's body with less whore and with a Himawari clone for a girlfriend. PLUS! Megumi's Ouendan skills... which makes him a 3-in-1 dorm leader. Fights Muay Thai style, I think. LOSES HIS HAIR TIE EVERYTIME HE GETS TOPPED. What the bloody fuck was happening back then?!
5) Tachibana Tomohiko (Kasuya Yuuta) - The shouta. He stutters when you first meet him, but will kick ass. Too much moe in a can. I dunno... Senri Nakao with balls Ashiya Mizuki? Wears a shirt to battle. Calls you ____-chan-sempai. Annoying cutesy voice acting. Likes high places, please push him from high places. Might secretly be a woman, or a guest character in Boku no Pico. BEING WITH HIM FEELS LIKE A CRIME.
THE DOWN AND DIRTY MINIGAMES
The game system is like this. You go to school, go to a random place, talk to a guy. If he asks you a question, you only have two choices. And when you get a ticket to the fighting arena, that's when you have to take care of the guy with MINI-GAMES.
1) Treatment
These damn bastards can't put a damn ice pack on their damn bruises, and put bandages on their damn scratches. Oh, and who the fuck gets SCRATCHES in a fist fight? Dear GOD. They are also under the impression that they have to be dressed only in their boxers tiny black mankinis and lying in a damn bed for you to treat them. Put icepacks on their bruises, but not too long. Bandage the scratches they probably got in a bitchfight. WATCH THEM BLUSH INAPPROPRIATELY.
2) Roadwork
The most work-safe minigame in this game, and the one that makes the most sense. The guy trains by jogging and you bike next to him (he asked you to join him, k?). You have to keep the pace and not go too far behind or too far ahead of the guy.
Sadly, there are no photos for this game because it's lame and work safe.
3) Shower Game
WHY WHY WHY WHY DOES THIS GAME EXIST. For some odd, unknown reason, you are peeking in the showers. And you have to blow on the mic to blow away the steam. The guy is naked, the middle of your DS is your censor bar. And where is the mic? In the middle of the DS. What's being covered by the middle of the DS?
.... yeah.
4) Cheering
No matter who you chose, no matter how seme (lulz) he looks like, there will come a point in time where he will be almost defeated by his enemy! (And by almost defeated I mean they show him, being topped by his enemy, LITERALLY, and it's just torsos so your imagination can go haywire about what's not shown on your DS screen) OHNOES! What do you do? Well, the trailers say you have to cheer and shout "GANBARE!" and he'll hear you and be filled with so much love that he'll realize he's not gay and push the other guy away. Or you can just blow on the mic until the heart fills up.... save yourself the embarrassment and blow.
5) WIPE THAT SWEAT!
.... And they change moods. Wipe their torso. They get happy. There's this part they like to be touched. I'm not even bothering with it. I just want to throw the towel at their damn face. Oh, and they make inappropriate facial expressions and sounds, as usual.
6) Massage Game
..... WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS THE WRONG. Ok, the mechanics are simple. The guy is lying on his back, follow the arrows to massage him. You get it right, he's happy. Wrong and.. meh, not my problem. BUT THE AUDIO! The audio's just so... wrong. They moan. Get it right? They moan louder. Get to the rainbow colored background?
....... it either sounds like THAT or a manslaughter. I wish it was just manslaughter.
AND YEY! GET YOUR JOB DONE RIGHT! OTP THE PROFESSOR (Ginpachi-sensei Sugita Tomokazu) AND THE SCHOOL DOCTOR (Ono Daisuke) (both male) AND GET THE SECRET CHARACTER (Nakai Kazuya) ! AND GET CUTSCENES!
... seriously, I'm in it for the cutscenes.
Now if you excuse me, I need to re-do the blonde faggot's path because I missed something.
