Title: The Ultimate Xbox360 Game
Post by: StreakInTheSky on February 17, 2007, 11:55:35 PM
The video game of our dreams is finally here!

Why have I not heard of this game until today?
What more can you ask for from a game?

The characters even have striking similarities to some already familiar idols we all love and adore

I must have this game! Are there region blocks on the 360. I've been wondering if I should finally get one, and I might finally have the reason too. :P

haha - why indeed.

there's a comprehensive, and very funny (and just slightly disturbing) review of the arcade game version here (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/01/the_idolmster_m.html), written by the mighty Dom Nguyen of Megatokyo (http://www.megatokyo.com/) fame.

I've known about the game for a while now, but due to the near 100% chance that it'll never get a localization, I've tried to keep from looking too much into it. I've avoided info on the game like the plague, knowing that I'll more than likely never get to play the Japanese version, let alone a translated version.

"The option to apply a regional lockout to games is available to publishers, although DVD region codes are always enforced." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Storage)

Oshi~? [size=-2]someone import it & test, quickly[/size] :drool:

and because we all need it: a five minute promo (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/08/todays-iest-video-the-idolmaster/) of the game, courtesy of joystiq.

FWIW, i'm sure i've read that this will get an english localisation, altho a quick google throws up no supporting evidence.

I don't see how it could get localized for the US. They'd have to give the game a complete makeover for most people to even think of getting it.


Holy Shit!! GAM?

Arcade game's been out for a couple years but it was only release for the 360 last month >_> And I don't really follow arcade games...

Booooooo!

The game is region locked. :ONgyaaah:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-15-idolmaster-70-1o6e-43-99.html

There is still a very slight chance that they didnt test it and just assumed that its locked, that however doesnt help my poor Japanese skills.

It's DA Ultimate Tsunku simulator !!!! :D

I almost bought a japanese 360 just to be able to play that freakin' game...

But, with my lack of japanese reading and speaking skills, it'll be just a waste of money... :cry:

Just clickin' around randomly won't get you very far into the game. :(

The objective is to sell as many records as possible.

To achieve that, you must train the girls, give them dancing & singing lessons, make sure they are in a good state of mind before performances and TV shows, choose a song that will suit her image, ect...

Are the songs in the game from real artists(like Utada Hikaru, Berryz Koubou), or are they just made for the game by random singers
Title: Re: The Ultimate Xbox360 Game
Post by: StreakInTheSky on April 05, 2007, 03:03:19 AM
The songs were made for the game and sung by the people who made the character voices

Although this thread is made for Idol Master, but since I have a XBOX360 and there's no thread for XBOX360 questions, I'll post it here.

I'm thinking of getting a new game, but need some suggestions.
So far the games I have are
Halo 3
Fonza
Marvel
Two World
Stunt Ignition
Rock Band

The genre of the game is not a problem, but I want to get a game that is good and fun to play (i.e. after getting it I feel it's worth it for what I pay for).

My 2 cents, I got scared of all the shooters coming out, it's like 360 gamers are training for an inevitable war or something. So I try my best to stay away from them. :(
One I think I'll get when it comes out is Tom Clancy's Endwar. The voice command gimmick sure is interesting. But I'll wait for a review before jumping in. 8)

My stuff:
Forza
Viva Pinata
Mass Effect
Halo 3
Winning Eleven 08
Devil May Cry 4
Idolmaster L4U
