Which is an astoundingly inaccurate portrayal of love hotels.
Also, Nintendo's love hotels failed, that was when they were trying everything to make money, nothing really worked until they went into toys.

And I'm a nintendo fan anyways.

And the first sentence of that in any way implies Mafia-style Japanese Pimps"
Love hotels are for couples to get private time in a country where apartments are about the size of a refrigerator.
While that often is sexual in nature (though not always) it is in no way "pimping".
Love hotels (from my admittedly limited understanding) were created out of a need, couples, especially couples with kids, needed more space to be intimate (not necessarily hanky panky, just general intimacy), so the love hotel came to exist.
I can't say I care too much about this whole matter, but I just thought I should put the record straight on it.
And yeah, Nintendo, some good stuff coming out of Nintendo, my avatar is from Nintendo.
