The first 10 minutes: iDOLM@STER

Well, there it is, this strange game that could only have ever been produced in Japan. First released in the still striving arcades, and now parted to the 360, iDOLM@STER is part mini-games, part conversations with multiple choices. It's a really weird mix, but it's certainly working well enough to warrant this port in Japan.
This first video shows the first 15 minutes of the game, with some mini-games, some communication "lessons" and the important choosing of the girl's clothes. The second part will be online tomorrow, with the debut single and the first audition and TV coverage.
Update: Second part online, with a casting (good luck understanding what's going on!) and a rather terrible first TV!

Idolmaster trailer and images

Namco released the TGS trailer of Idolmaster, in very low resolution unfortunately. Despite the quite horrible music, it still looks and moves very nicely.
Update: Latest Famitsu scans added.
Update 2: The trailer is now available on the marketplace. I've of course captured it, and you'll certainly notice that the new dashboard video playback may be even worse than before. Joy.
Update 3: Just because I know you are now fans of this game, here is a video showing some parts of 2 video clips, with some "noisy" jpop to go along.

This weeks Famitsu was quite busy with new XBox360 articles, but for now here's just another look at Namco's forthcoming 'J-idol manager' simulation called The Idolmaster, and the new girl character that was introduced in this issue. For all four people that care...me included !

THE iDOLM@STER first Famitsu scans

Another port of popular arcade game is coming to Xbox360 In Japan. This time it's Namco's japanese idol/singer simulation called THE iDOLM@STER. This title will probably make few more japanese gamers to go and purchase XB360 me thinks. As always Famitsu Weekly is first to bring the news.
Update : Added 9 direct feed images.

What's up?
  • blmbox
    blmbox Yeah, but judging by the content of both reviews, Eurogamer didn't particularly care much for the game anyway. They probably only gave it an 8 to avoid controversy - the review sounded more like a 6. (2 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX 6 to 8 split on Eurogamer, which isn't quite as large but still pretty significant. (3 Hours ago)
  • SimonM7
    SimonM7 Yeah sure, but from what console reviews are saying it's perfectly adequate. I mean I'm sure PC is the way to go, but I sincerely doubt we're seeing a 5 to 9 split score wise or anything. (3 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX not that the Xbox version is "that bad" by most accounts either.. there are plenty of people here playing it who adore it.. but the PC game is recieving higher marks across the board (3 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX @SimonM7: I doubt that's true too, if other reviews I've read are any indication. The game was designed around an interface that's not represented on the Xbox.. (3 Hours ago)
  • SimonM7
    SimonM7 I doubt PC and 360 scores would differ much in EDGE, they simply don't fancy it. DA on the 360 is fine as long as you like the underlying game. (4 Hours ago)
  • callmekymbo
    callmekymbo is DA on the 360 really that bad? I can't run it on my pc so the eggbox is my only viable alternative (4 Hours ago)
