We may still not have an official price for the Nintendo 3DS, but it
looks like you can now at least count on yet another unique gaming
experience not found on other handheld systems. Konami recently
announced that its "Project Loveplus" dating simulator for the system
will not only take advantage of the system's 3D capabilities, but that
it will also include a so-called "boyfriend lock" that uses facial
recognition to prevent any virtual cheating. Apparently, if someone
else picks up your 3DS and tries to play the game, your virtual
girlfriend will act confused and respond with phrases like "who are
you?" -- which, incidentally, is a question you might also want to ask
yourself before looking for ways to import the game from Japan (yeah,
don't count on this one being released over here).
