New LovePlus+ was announced in July, but Konami hasn’t shared any news since. That’s all changed today though with two important pieces of news.
First, New LovePlus+ has been given a release window in Japan. Konami will publish the game in the spring. It’ll cost 5,700 yen at retail and 5,200 yen as a download.
Two special bundles have also been revealed for New LovePlus+. Each includes a boxed copy of the game and a 3DS XL system featuring Manaka Takane, Rinko Kobayakawa, or Nene Anegasaki. There are other goodies included too such as a special book, audio CD, illustrations sheet, and box. All bundles are priced at 32,000 yen.
Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games fame has high praise for Super Mario 3D World. CliffyB has been playing the title since it launched late last week, and just finished it today.
After beating Super Mario 3D World, Bleszinski had this to say:
Finished Super Mario 3D World. Loved every minute of it. So tightly designed. System selling title for the Wii U.

The amount of "Hey I'll go look over here or try something different" moments that are rewarded in Super Mario 3D World are staggering.

Bleszinski was also sharing positive thoughts about 3D World last week, such as:
Holy crap this new Mario game is pure bliss.

My cheeks are sore from smiling so hard while playing the new Mario it's just a love letter to what makes Mario so great.
