By way of promotion of the upcoming advent of Idolmaster: One for All, Namco Bandai and Hori have made a trio of suitably idolatrous PS3 controllers available, each adorned with the silhouette of one of Idolmaster’s cute signature idols – albeit with more in the way of tacky plaid than pretty art, though they at least provide a relief from the usual onslaught of DLC.
The controllers come with a 3M USB cable as well as a cleaning cloth, with each controller available through the usual channels – they are scheduled for release May 15th, to align with Idolmaster: One for All’s launch.
Would buy if it was a Sony branded controller. That controller layout and design looks like a 10$ offbrand controller with a skin on it.
Hori controllers actually aren’t that bad though.
Correction; Hori controllers are actually awesome.
Why? I own a set of Hori PSX controllers. My Sony controllers for the PSX already died couple years back. Those Hori controllers are as good as my PS2 controllers I’ve gotten a year ago.
PS3 controller with ergonomic like an Xbox 360 controller ? wow ! where i can buy it ?
>the usual onslaught of DLC
That won’t start until a few months after the game is released. Then you’ll see 150 new outfits and accessories (translation: 85% the same stuff they just sold you in the Imas2 DLC recycled), 50 new songs and of course, bundle packs to part you with your cash more efficiently.
Then they’ll drop the exclusivity, rerelease it on XBox 360 and sell you the same DLC again, plus a few new exclusives to force everyone who bought the game to buy it again in order to get everything. Oh, and don’t forget the girls’ email addresses again! Or maybe they’ll implement some smartphone account to have them send you text messages or something.
This franchise is Namco’s goose that laid the golden egg, and no matter what they try to do to it they can’t even manage to kill it.
I mean wow.
I don’t normally give a darn about the Idol Master, but those controller patterns are fricking sweet.
Who would have guessed that plaid is a good color for a controller?
I want one but with Harley Quinn from Batman Arkham City on it this is nothing.
wrong site dude. very wrong.
How about Ame-comi Catwoman or Power Girl?
