Remember that acid you did once in college just to impress that hot, female med student? Well, you're about to relive that moment, as you watch the newest Japanese trailer for Onsei Kanjou Sokuteiki: Kokoro Scan for the Nintendo DS.
Full of bears that rock out with their hair balls out, people with hearts over their faces, and a little condom man running around with bow ties on, the Kokoro Scan trailer is like a Katamari game with ecstasy icing on top.
This game isn't really a game though, it's more like expensive mood ring software for your DS. Using Sensibility technology, developed by SGI Japan and AGI, the software converts the user's voice into groups of numbers and analyzes them to indicate their current mood. The software also gives you a rating in 5 different categories: anger, joy, disappointment, normality and excitement. Does that mean the color green doesn't signify you’re horny anymore?
Though I don't see many practical uses for this technology, the voice tension detection feature will be fun to use on your girlfriend to see if she's lying about the size of your d ... uh, nose. I do think if you're sitting next to someone on the bus, and they get a low normality rating and a high anger rating, you should get off at the next stop. Trust me.
Kokoro Scan will be released by Sega for the Nintendo DS around August 2007 in Japan for about 2,700 yen. No word if Kokoro Scan will be coming to North America, but Sega does promise to use the sensibility technology for future games. I'm sure hippies worldwide will be happy to know that.
Yeah I saw it this morning. I think I'll just submit the news next time! :D
Still feel that we should save a HD version of this for some future Dtoid convention. With free acid of course. Grab the mp3 in the mean time and drive your co-residents mad. It worked here.
Why was ceiling condom man masturbating to other condom people dressed in business attire? Why did they think I needed a close up of condom man's nipple and covered crotch and what appeared to be a pixelated penis? Why was condom father time riding on a peeled banana? WTF did I just watch?
Whatever this game wants me to do, I'll obey. If only I could understand it's crazy moonspeak. For now I'll just assume it wants me to kill more hookers.
Damn Tiff, I was thinking the same thing when I watched it. I even thought: "You know, maybe they'll explain why there is a voyeur Kokoro-San in the ceiling". But nope, he just started to spin into colors and then a lollipop for pedobear.
