Japanese Game Features Customizable Wife

I’m a firm believer that falling in love requires you to embrace your partner’s eccentricities and flaws, but then again, I’ve never been able to customize my better half, as the game My Wife ~ A Bride For You Only ~ does. The game will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 in Japan, and allows players to define all the characteristics of their virtual wives, including name, looks, personality and voice. Downloadable voice packs from Kana Hanazawa and Emiri Kato mean that virtual wives can even sound like famous Japanese voice actresses.

Players can gawk at their virtual partners in swimwear and play mini-games such as a quiz show and a juice-drinking challenge, whatever that means. Extra data will also be made available as downloadable content, which I think would be essential if you’re into the whole computer-generated relationship thing. I wonder if the guy who married his video game girlfriend will be tempted to stray. Not like she’ll ever find out.
