Damn, you should write a letter to the editor at google.

Love Love Tram it is.

The name is Love Love Torokko. As stated before the katakana says Love Love Torokko. It’s written there for people who don’t know how to read the name. This is done with every Japanese game with another language in the title, and even Japanese names (be it complex characters or just for children who wouldn’t have learned it yet). Torokko doesn’t mean “mine” at all, it means tram. Mine would be kouzan. The dictionary even says 〔鉱山などの〕トロッコ – [Kouzan nado no] Torokko – Tram (for a mine.) For someone who can read the katakana and google in Japanese, it’s frightening how wrong your information is. (dmauro)

Google image search for torokko:

Thanks for updated info! Love Love Mine makes the most sense thus far. I’ve updated the entry to reflect this information, though I also noted that the filename of the game cover had the term Love 2 Truck, so I guess more than one person has made that mistake.

I assumed トロッコ was truck or track, but I just did a google translation of it, and it actually means “mine.” So that would make the title “Love^2 (squared) Mine” or simply “Love Love Mine.” (The katakana above the title on the title screen reads it out as Love Love Mine, but the cover/logo reads Love^2 Mine). It’s definitely not Love Love 2 though. You’ve either got two loves, or one love squared.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I have played other games that are similar, with the whole, you’re-in-a-moving-vehicle-with-a girl deals, such as Let’s Go Jungle! Though Love Love 2/Love 2 Truck/Love 2 Track/Love Love Mine (a name that someone at SB just suggested as a possibility, which actually makes a lot of sense to me) was my first, and none of the the others have employed the whole sandwich making gameplay for the win.

Geeze that game looks awesome. Also it looks to be another entry in the romance-in-a-minecart/truck/hand-trolly genre.

Actually only Sega seems to want to plumb these depths on a regular basis.
