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:

So the 360 get exclusive otaku games, awesome, I think I'll buy one now...
NOT!!!!!
And not a single fuck was given this day.
IdolMaster 3 gets Kinect exclusive action.
You now have my undivided attention.
IdolMaster 3, all girls are not loli anymore.
There is a special training, "Sex Edu".
You can train them how to perform on bed.
LOL
The ultimate groping experience.
No Berserk in 2011 ;_;
U mad? Need a whambuger?
"U mad?"
I'm assuming the question you're trying to say is "do you also frequent Gaia add me so we can cyber".
That would be a no.
Sorry man, I didn't know you were so devoted to your idolmaster, dream club and other great dating simulators.
My previous comment by no means should disencourage people to buy a japanese xbox 360 to play these awesome exclusivities.
Them don't bringing these games to the US, how dare they. UNPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!! It is madness if you think about it.
What possible point can you be making? There isn't even a hint at an English release you paranoid mong.
The only one I can think of is promoting birth control with you as the poster child.
I was being sarcastic you retard.
Of course there won't be an english release, because these games only appeal to a very limited group, I'm saying people like the game? Good, but this shouldn't be a reason for anyone to go and buy a japanese xbox360 or learn japanese, like you seem to brag about it.
Oh and you contradict yourself for "nobody gives a flying fuck about your opinion" just by replying to my comment.
Are you trading my comments while using a trampoline or are you really that retarded? Silly question I know.
You only put quotation marks around something something someone has actually said, not some completely different string of words that your lunatic self has made up.
The contradiction was your "u mad", notice you actually said these words (terrible spelling and all), since you're obvious so rampant with butthurt that you can't get this game.
I'm so crying right now that I can't play this game, good god!
Whatever, I'm done with obsessed otaku like you.
I think it's kinda cool the 360 still has quirky exclusives like these. Now only if they actually get ported to the West + it having more exclusives on the west proper, like the competitors. I'm still very happy with my PS360Wii though.
Oh, on an addendum..... No more Berserk manga chapters for at least another year because of this announcement. lol
I don't think it's cool that the 360 has these otaku exclusives because they are always region locked unlike PS3 games so to play these games you would need to buy 2 xbox consoles.
The new 360s are pretty safe with the whole overheating issues compared to the old ones. And if they ever RROD, the repairs are free (since they were sued for it 3 years ago).
I think all consoles deserve some types of exclusive offerings. I don't think with this competitive atmosphere, one console shouldn't hog all the games. Also it's much cheaper now to get all the consoles than it ever was. And it's going to get cheaper.
Your loss... I'll just be sitting here playing the two existing imas games along with Deathsmiles 2 and a host of VNs.
something like the Eclipse idol team from Basquash?
Apart from the wide range of desirable DFC and teens, I finally understand why they're popular
I mean, shit, I'm already hooked on their songs alone.
I always wonderd how you play this kind of game. Do you write the songs?
Its basically a visual novel (dating game) with unique features to set it apart from its peers.
did I see a tsundere at 1:40 ? :)
lol at the xbox ad that was so bad...
My god, Iori, Miki and even Mami/Ami look even better now... and I thought the day couldn't get better after a 4:0!
The video is great
they should have realized by now ps3 fanbase is bigger
Yes but M$ money is much bigger.
They should just call it FailMaster with the pitiful size of the Japanese 360 install base.
Yeah, fanatics will buy it, but I bet they'd double sales by putting in on PS3.
and yet iMAS sells like crazy.
damn sony fanboys. just move on and find something worth bitching about.
Just stating a fact.
The 360 base in Japan is tiny.
It's foolish business to develop a game that has nearly no chance of being sold anywhere but Japan for a system that is virtually dead there.
Doesn't make me a fan of anything but common sense and reality.
Damn it! Azusa with short hair, wtf?! Noooo... ;_;
Also: That second video makes my brain try to curl up and whimper in the fetal position.
Anyway, rest of the girls are looking pretty good with the new looks.
I am watching you Miura.Just try it.
The xbox ad made me chuckle.
I noticed they added boob physics for this version. I guess that could compensate for them all being a little less loli.
There was some very subtle jiggle physics in the previous versions. I say very subtle because the girls were smaller then and it was difficult to notice, but it was there.
There has always been boob physics in 360 imas. The amount of jiggle depends on the character and the costume she is wearing.
Exclusive?
As in, re-released in other platforms in a years time with bonus features, right?
im@s has been 360 for nearly 5 years....
Once again the Xbox wins.
Wrap it up Sonyailures.
oh you little troll you
Too bad, I was hoping they would release it for PS3 too.
Nevermind, I'll rather stick with Miku.
*Blink* <------ the sound of socialization and sexual activity dieing in the japanese population. Damn the otakus have it hard, the xbox controller is to big to play with one hand. D:
just wondering...does Microsoft play any part in making this game exclusive for 360? it somehow surprise me that game targeted for japanese otaku were sell in console that only minority of people own it
it does not make any sense from marketing perspective...
because microsoft knows that without something something big (because in the otaku culture id@l master is big) they won't survive in japan.
FUCK YES!
Second iM@S game, and I'll be playing it on my second NTSC-J Xbox...goddamn RRoD
You should have just sent it to MS for a free repair. I know someone in New Zealand who sent their NTSC-J 360 to MS in Australia when it got the RRoD, and MS repaired it for free (he had to pay for shipping though). I live in the US, and MS in the US repaired my NTSC-J 360 for free when it got the RRoD as well.
Once you notice the jiggle action (where applicable) in the videos, your eyes become trained upon it.
that microsoft commercial is trolling hard idolmaster.
is this what microsoft really wants to portray the only thing that is keeping xbox alive in japan?
If this gets to western world Microsoft should definitely dub it ^_^
Dem's fightin words.
Wow, Irori's hair is beautiful.
BandaiNamco, I implore you to realease this stateside.
