Getter Love is a party game where you compete in a dating/social simulator. It has one main game and 3 VS games that are all similar and can be played 1-4 player.

You play yourself against 3 others. The objective? Confess your love to one of seven girls and be accepted OR have a girl confess her love to you and be accepted before anyone else does. Along the way you may encounter one of the 35 unique dates and 28 different endings. See if you can find them all!

Each day you get 3 chances to run around town chatting with girls and locals. Purchase and collect items along the way. Collect topic balls to give you an edge and find out more about everyone. Make sure to stay well rested and keep your style up or else no one will want to be around you. Compete in minigames alongside or against the other 3. Use those items you've collected. Some give you special dates, some boost you or take down your competitors, and some help keep you safe. Most important of all, find that special someone and make her happy.

If you're having any trouble with gameplay or you want to give yourself an edge, from the Main Menu choose Options then (1). You'll find answers to all your questions and some helpful tips.

One interesting tidbit - Getter Love was created by Hudson Soft at the same time as Mario Party, though by different teams. They share many similarities - they're both party games where you collect items to advance yourself or hinder others, and right up to that last moment you never know who is going to win. Getter Love came out about two weeks before Mario Party.

Description

This patch restores the Sound Test menu to the original Getter Love. The text is still in Japanese. To get to the Sound Test, on the Main Menu choose Options (last in the list) and then choose (5).

Use the L/R buttons to move forward and backward through the music. It autoplays. Most songs loop continuously. Use D-Pad Left/Right to move forward and backward through the SFX. Press A to play the SFX. Only a handful loop.

The Sound Test was meant for an earlier version of the game with much less music, so some fixes needed to be applied to make it more usable. First, Music 30-45 were given minimal text just to number them. Second, the SFX menu is set to wrap around earlier. This is odd because the text for all the SFX matches what is there, BUT they miscalculated the last item in the list so it extended further than it should have.

Note, no music or SFX was edited. M00 and M45 do not have music, they just continue the existing music that is playing. M02, M23, M25, M32, and M39 are just long beeps or hums. The music here was removed before release, not by the patch.

Special thanks to wid for his work on the English translation! Without it the Sound Test would never have been found or made useable.
