Namco Bandai have given gamers 99 more reason to cry which Aussie gamers are all to familiar with considering how often we get screwed (I'm looking at you EA www.mywii.com.au/ ). The developer has today announced 99 no Namida which translates into 99 Tears, the principle of the game to to make people relax by crying as it relieves stress.

The game is set in a city where all the residents have forgotten how to cry when one day your character walks past a shop named Source of Tears. The game is actually more of a non-game as it has been collaborated on by university professors who analyse the players personality which in turn picks the 99 stories out of 200 which are most likely to make you cry. Players are encouraged to read through one story at the end of each day with the promise that each story will bring them closer to tears.

There's no real 'gameplay' in 99 Tears as such, your entire play time each day will consists of about 15 minutes reading through a graphic novel and then answering some questions which will then assumably lead to crying.
