In a bizarre story reminiscent of the film Lars and the Real Girl, the man, known by his nickname SAL9000, fell in love with a fictional character from the Nintendo DS "love simulator" Love Plus.

Popular in Japan's geek subculture, the game invites players to pick a girlfriend and then challenges them to woo her by taking her out on "dates" and perform boyfriend duties such as saying "I love you" 100 times into the handheld games console.

The most successful lotharios can even give their virtual love interest a kiss by literally kissing the DS's touch screen.

But that wasn't enough for SAL9000, who wedded Nene Anegasaki in an official-looking but not legally binding reception in Tokyo on Sunday.

Wasn't it SAL9000 who did the first Geddan video?

If yes, nice hoax.

I wonder the same thing...and I have a pretty good idea but I don't want to say, because I'm probably wrong.

They do have some awesome stuff over there, but they also have the weirdest interest.

Now I wonder what happens if he erases the game? Is that considered murder?

I would call an erased game a divorce.

Westerners see this and wonder what is wrong with the Japanese.
The Japanese see TES Nexus and wonder what the holy hell is wrong with Westerners.

I think an erased game counts as a divorce... possibly murder depends on if he decided to throw the DS at the wall and then erase the game, or if he just decided to erase the game. O.o
