Top teen idol seduction simulator Idol Master has finally had a full HD sequel announced in the form of IdolMaster 2.
The game, of course an Xbox 360 exclusive, is set for release in the spring of 2011.
The preview:
The game itself is said to follow the same pattern as the first, but with the game starting 6 months after the girls’ debut rather than with it, and with the game starting with a 3 girl unit. The girls will have aged a year, perhaps a disappointment to the core fanbase.
Somehow the TV spot was handed to Microsoft, whose dreadful Japanese Xbox 360 marketing campaign is the stuff of legend:
TAKANE!!!!!…the girls looks fantastic…Asuza with short hair is HORRIBLE…but well….MAN I HATE THE XBOX!!!!!!!!!
should really be called the child molestation master
japan’s otaku market really is a sad sad as f♥♥k industry
stupid nerds rejoice at stupid game for nerdy nerds with no girlfriends
ooooh so rooooonery
Is the Xbox 360 in so dire a situation in Japan that they to resort to exclusively licensing a niche title that has devoted, no, OBSESSED fans. Some would call marketing strategy, to me it seems more like an act of desperation.
they’ve kind of sunk to that low for a while in Japan
it only makes sense at this point to go after the otaku there
I’m assuming that the last few exclusives for the dying 360 will be full-on ero titles
but in all fairness, this isn’t the smartest long-term choice for Namco Bandai, since the system just lacks the same freedoms as the PS3 (plus the larger number owned by Japanese). They should try porting it to the PS3 one of these days, to test the water on how much more obsessed fanboys (and some girls I know… >w>) would be willing to pick the game up.
plus, hey it’s region free on the PS3 owo
The PS3 being region free doesn’t mean it has more freedoms. In fact, the PS3 is a lot more restrained for these kind of games in Japan. You all anons should do a little research before posting unncesesary comments.
Why do people like this.
