The news that IdolMaster 2 has dumped Ritsuko, Iori, Azusa and Ami as playable characters whilst adding a trio of sexy male idols has provoked a storm amongst the franchise’s notoriously creepy fans, with every tactic from an Internet hate campaign to a formal petition coming into play.
The first port of call for any irate otaku seeking to cause commercial chaos is Amazon.co.jp – almost 100 1-star reviews and scores of irreverent Photoshops soon flooded the site:
Some particularly desperate (or possibly desperately optimistic) fans have started a formal petition entreating the developers to both restore the restructurated quartet and re-add multiplayer:
Another creepy otaku took a rather more direct approach to venting his frustrations – fortunately NEET-grade Japanese housing is only made of cardboard and paper, so he is unlikely to have injured himself:
thats what u get fot owning a 360
Why so serious?
Or they have thought THIS far ahead…and a Idolm@ster Live for You 2 where they reintroduce the 4 removed idols…and a bunch of other expanded gameplay, minus the story portion and so on…all for some extra sales, ’cause they know the fans WILL buy it up.
They must be crazy if they really thought adding male characters to an IdolMaster game was a good idea.
Jeez, it is just a game. Grow up Japan.
