This listing offers a pre-owned Nintendo DSi LL console bundle centered on New Love Plus +, the acclaimed social simulation and romance game published by KONAMI for the Nintendo DS platform. Love Plus occupies a genuinely unique place in Japanese gaming history, having built a devoted following through its deeply personal character interactions and its reputation as one of the most immersive virtual companion experiences ever released on a handheld console. This particular package focuses on Nene — one of the franchise's central characters — and represents the kind of curated, character-specific bundle that was sold through Japanese retail channels and has since become a sought-after piece for collectors interested in both Nintendo hardware history and KONAMI's legacy of story-driven handheld titles.
As the title indicates, this is a Nintendo DSi LL (the larger-screen variant of the DSi line, known outside Japan as the DSi XL) bundled specifically with New Love Plus + and presented as a Nene Deluxe edition. The "Deluxe adventure communication game" framing in the original Japanese product language reflects the way KONAMI positioned New Love Plus + not simply as a standard game cartridge but as an expanded interactive experience. The DSi LL hardware itself features dual screens with the enlarged display format that distinguished it from the standard DSi, and the Nene-themed bundle was produced and sold by KONAMI in partnership with Nintendo specifically for the Japanese domestic market. This is a region-specific product manufactured and released in Japan.
Within the Love Plus franchise, New Love Plus + represents an enhanced and expanded iteration of the series, building on the systems that made the original games so culturally significant in Japan. The franchise gained widespread media attention — including documented cases of fans holding real-world ceremonies connected to in-game relationships — and that cultural weight makes physical bundles like this one meaningful artifacts beyond their function as playable software. Pre-owned Japanese hardware bundles of this nature are particularly valued by international collectors because many were never officially distributed outside Japan, meaning the only way to own an authentic piece is to source it directly from the Japanese secondary market. Items from HD Toys Store Japan carry that provenance, arriving from the country where they were originally sold and used.
This item is pre-owned and has been sourced from the Japanese secondary market. It has been handled and inspected prior to listing. As with any pre-owned collectible of this age, the console, packaging, and any included materials may show signs of normal wear consistent with prior use and storage. No claims are made regarding sealed or mint condition. Buyers should expect a genuine, previously owned product rather than new-old-stock. Photos should be reviewed carefully, and any questions about specific condition details are welcome before purchase.
For fans of KONAMI's handheld catalog, Nintendo DS-era hardware collectors, or anyone with a personal connection to the Love Plus series, this bundle carries a quality that goes beyond the sum of its components. The DSi LL's larger screens make the character artwork and in-game interactions feel more present and detailed than on smaller handhelds, which is part of why this specific hardware pairing with New Love Plus + was considered a natural fit at the time of release. Displayed alongside other DS-era KONAMI or Nintendo hardware, or kept as a standalone piece representing a specific moment in Japanese handheld gaming culture, this Nene Deluxe bundle is the kind of item that tends to mean something to the person who finds it — and those are exactly the items worth seeking out.
