All things (not the anime) Idolm@ster Official Topic

[Poison Frost]

As Daverost said, The Best versions are usually the ones that are cheaper versions of the original, but if you're wanting a Japanese game for only $60 then you're going to have to look into the PSP/3DS/DS section for those because most of the PS3/360 games are really expensive if they have "NEW" tagged on them. Even ones that have been out for a while are still quite expensive.

Speaking of buying japanese games though, pre-ordered Lollipop Chainsaw for $115 TT^TT Wallet is now empty

Iori reminds me of Pringles. :3

i already own the japanese version, all G4U volumes up to 7, all 3 Im@s PSP games, Im@s DS and i restarted my japanese classes (caused by playing Im@s 2). And i'd definitely buy it once more if it were localized. But please, no english voice over, or at least include the originals.

Have you completed it yet Vamp? Was it you that was stuck?

I got past the part I was stuck on, but i've been really busy lately so I haven't beat it yet.

Well, I don't think Idolm@ster 2 is so appealing anymore. *thumbs up to kotakoni for the inane post*

I think this game would sell really well if it was localized because it would be bought by people like us who are fans of anime etc. and also Namco could also market it towards teenage girls who are fans of dance, America Idol and stuff like Hannah Montana etc.

Yeah, but then you have the stereotypical americans being all like, "Eww, it's all Japanese cartoon-y like those things that nerds watch, I don't want to be, like, a nerd, like, it's so gross." And whatnot, but the idea isn't half-bad. Perhaps we can get the children to stop looking at Hannah Montana (god save me) and look at IM@2 instead.

I showed my little 12 year old sister this (some vids and screenshots) and she thinks it looks really awesome and now she wants it...a lot. IT DOES HAVE POTENTIAL NAMCO!

[vampko]

Of course it does!

But, Namco doesn't believe so quite obviously. And then you have the dumb media that fights against anything Japanese and makes it out to be waaay worse than it is.

The americans have already realized that their crap ain't working anymore. Not everyone is into "BIGASSFIGHTSCENESTHATHAVEXPLOSIONSEVERYWHERE" anymore. So now they have to make sure everything else looks like crap so when it comes down to the decision the consumer will be like, "well I COULD get this awesome RPG, but those MEDIA says it's filled with storyline and funny sh*t...so I'd rather get the overrated FPS game that just came out." The day that America realizes that Character Development and Storyline is ACTUALLY importnat...that'll be the day

I think the correct response should be "Overmaster??"

Bought the JP version recently, if it ever comes out in the US i would buy another copy to be able to follow along instead of trying to look up everything.
