The new Xbox 360 release of erotic hostess love procurement game Dream C Club was heralded over the weekend by a promotional mini-caravan tour through Akihabara of an ita-bus (presumably the same seen before as the Chaos;Head ita-bus), itasha, and several maid-hostess cosplayers.
The game, a console hostess “eroge” somewhat akin to IdolM@ster (be sure to see the screencaps of the game’s delightful oppai grabbing scenes), is the latest in a long line of promotional Akiba ita-bus marketing stunts.
The ita-mobiles made rounds throughout the otaku metropolis over the whole weekend, but one particular event at a games store likely attracted the most attention with the vehicles parked and the cosplayers out and on full display.
Those fortunate enough to be walking by were handed these attractive business cards:
Via Akiba Souken and Dengeki Online.
The cards, not all shown here, each show one of the various hostesses, along with moe messages such as Reika’s “I’ll believe (in you) always. Your dream will come true.”
In addition to the many photos of the very visible vehicles, some videos were taken that show the ita-mobiles traveling around town:

Shit game is shit.
Haven't played it yet but hopefully it doesn't turn out something like ... Dead or Alive Extreme 2 ... Nice girls but horrible game overall
this game probably sucks, but i like the oppai
Play it ONLY for OPPAI XD
Seconded, John.
Third that, John.
A predominant focus on scantily clad cock magnets means it's not a quality game. The two are almost always mutually exclusive.
If its a renai game then a predominant focus on anything other then the girls is a warning flag that it might not be a quality game.
everytime i see this game it reminds me of this

He is just that awesome!
lol whether it's shit or not, the advertising deserves an award.
D3 is working hard. I think its one of the most organized and reinforced advertising campaigns I've seen.
This is the climax. But they've been doing all sorts of stuff over the last 3 months.
If more producers do this, the gaming industry might do better.

Wait, Dream C Club is eroge?
I used "eroge" to suggest the general sort of game it is, but something like "love simulation/adventure game" might be more precise.
Yes and no. It is not R-rated/18+ and it has no h-scene, however it DOES provide the "freedom to touch the girls" (doesn't mean you have to, but most people would). It is more about the fun of seeing the reactions of the girls after being touched than actually being ero...
Completely incorrect.
Classification is renai and is generally translated as a love simulation game. Where love in this case refers to relationship building. You go on dates, raise relationship meter, trigger her flag and get her ending. Variations exist but that is the essence of a renai game.
im@s is very much in the same catagory although to trigger her flag you need to get enough fans, idol rank and final concert success.
If every pai-touch scene or renai is an eroge. Things are going to be pretty difficult. Remember, Cero C is 15+
Protip: Careless use of terms like eroge is both misleading and only shows ignorance.
You are quoting the wrong person. I was merely explaining why Quen call it an "eroge" (hints the ") while it's not really an eroge.
I know what a real eroge is shince Anon seem to be confused, I only tried to explain what's (probably) ero in nation of this game.
So read properly what other people are saying before calling them "completely incorrect". There's nothing wrong with my explaination with the focus on explaining the "potential" ero nature of the game, while your focus was just giving a "more detailed" description of the "overall" game itself that's all.
whoa multiple screens on the bus, thats pretty cool.
Wow...
Yes, WOW.
New S Rank title coming up~!
Here's to a new benchmark in DLC sales.
