The reason Konami’s New Love Plus transfer tool costs money

Generally, one wouldn’t expect a transfer tool to cost money. Nintendo is offering a free DSi transfer tool as a matter of fact. Konami, however, will be charging 200 yen to those who wish to import girlfriend data from the Love Plus titles on the DS.

What’s interesting is that this might not actually be Konami’s fault. Strangely, Nintendo hasn’t offered a solution to developers and publishers who would like to release free software on the 3DS eShop. So Konami went as low as they possibly could, which happens to be 200 yen.

Konami is hoping to sweeten the deal for players who will be downloading the transfer tool. Nothing has been announced as of yet, but expect some news in about a month.
