The game spawned several [[Derivative Works]] due to its immense popularity:
* Three iPhone/iTouch/iPad apps (one for each girl) that function a little like Love Plus Mode, where you can talk to your girlfriend via the mic, answering and asking simple questions and playing Rock Paper Scissors with her. Also includes [[Augmented Reality]] features via the camera and GPS-enabled features.
* LovePlus+: An Updated Rerelease, released [http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178470 Summer 2010]{{Dead link}}. The summer season was chosen due to the large amount of summer-oriented events that can unfold in the second half of the game, such as vacation trips that let you spend two days and a night at the beach, a hot-spring resort, or some other weekend getaway. The vacation will differ from traditional gameplay because it will allow events that occur throughout the entire day, instead of the usual four event per day limit. It will also be possible to sleep with your girlfriend. ''No, not like that.'' Just lying in bed and talking with her. Other extras include new daily events, additional outfits and hairstyles for the girls, a new mini-game for [[Love Plus]] mode, the ability to exercise with the girls, DLC via special Love Plus hotspots, and the ability to import a Love Plus file to the newer version.
** In fact, supposedly, the reason that the summer trip is only two days and one night long is that the developers were worried about the player running out of time in real life.
* Five manga that detail the various paths the game can take and gave the main character the name of Wataru Aikawa.

* [[Chromatic Arrangement]] - Sorta. The Love Plus protective cases for the DS each feature a character with a particular BG color: Manaka/Blue, Nene/Pink, Rinko/Green. These colors also correspond to different personality types available for the girls.
** These colors supposedly correspond to the canon personalities for each character.
* [[Comic Book Adaptation]] - Five manga based on the game are planned for an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120418065154/http://www.japanator.com/learn-more-about-love-plus-five-new-manga-series-13843.phtml April 2010 release]. Each of the three girls will get their own series.
** Manaka Days - By Akitsu Mikami (of Ten Tori Takaku)
** Rinko Days - By Seo Kouji (of Suzuka)

* [[Dating Sim]]: With a twist, the game was only made to increase Japan's very low birth rate, and it worked wonders, that and aiming it at high schoolers who are having issues picking up girls and said high schoolers using it as a tool to pick up said girl in real life.
** As a side note, some time back, Konami teamed up with many high schools across Japan with a bus trip fundraiser where students who have got their real life girl of their dreams thanks to Love Plus+ put in $365 dollars (in all, which is very cheap for a fundraiser which most school fundraisers tend to cost around $2000 dollars [[Crack is Cheaper|if not more]] for said fundraiser) for said bus trip fundraiser, which lasted two days and one night. The students got a lot of Konami merchandising (not just for Love Plus but for other Konami Games as well) and spent time together, and when night came the student couples got a surprise visit from their parents to avoid... stuff happening (Japan may have a low birth rate, but that doesn't mean that teen pregnancies are needed).
* [[Derivative Works]] - There's an artbook for ''each'' character. There's also a version for the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110425042558/http://www.thebanzaieffect.com/articles/ooga/love-plus-for-iphone-videos/ iPhone/iTouch/iPad.]
* [[Hair Decorations]] - Manaka and her bow naturally; all three can acquire this by changing their hairstyles.
* [[Fan Boy]] - One fan married Nene Anegasaki... in [[Real Life]]. This particular bit of "devotion" was rather unfortunately covered and ''broadcasted globally'' by CNN, by a Korean anchor famous for her biased hatred towards Japan. The ceremony is available for viewing online.
* [[Fan Translation]] - As of January 2012, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131211051807/https://sites.google.com/site/loveplustrans/home the English patch] is considered complete. The Chinese translation was released on Valentine's Day 2010.
** There's supposedly even a patch to patch the Chinese fan translation from simplified Chinese to traditional Chinese. Given the resolution of the DS screens, this troper can't imagine certain words being very legible without the proper context.
** There's also English and Chinese fan translations of the manga.
