The show is amusing (and harmless) enough, but the best sub-plot is kuroneko's dark and incomprehensible gothic adventure game bomba.

doesn't seem to have much kanji so it should be easy to read, but that price is quite something

Interesting. I'm currently learning Japanese and I've been looking for an easy to read game.
Does anyone know if there are timed choices in this? As long as I have all the time I need and it's not kanji intensive, this might be a good practice game.

Oh, an OreImo game, not much interest in tha...

ABOUT
My little sister can't be this cute Happy End is lated to release in Japan on Sept 26 for PS3. Developed by Bandai Namco, the game will see elements from Idolm@ster and Photo Kano. You'll be taking photos of the characters and choosing their outfits.


Wait... how exactly is that game like iM@S?​

Everything is tsundere to me
So wait, other than the IM@S and outfit modes, what do you actually do in the game? Is it like the VNs on the PSP with some 3D fan-features or is it just pure otaku panderbait?
 
I stand by my original comment. If there is a yandere end, I will youtube it. Of course, this isn't a VN, so I have no idea how routes work in these kind of things if they exist at all.
There were 2 yandere Bad end in the psp games but i doubt they will be there since this game is more a " what if" than a normal VN

The 8 gravure imas games ?
Their entire point was dressing the girls and taking pictures

They sold quite a lot
 
I'm actually quite intrested in the game flow ( since it semes to be tied to the in-game forom/twitter/facebook simulation ).
I hope it works like in the hack//games with plenty of useless trivia and events triggerred by various answers.
 

Yeah, it looks like G4U has started a new genre. Honestly I think the whole "taking pictures" as a game is a pretty lazy genre, requiring no effort put into story, characters, gameplay, or anything else. Now G4U was bundled with the IM@S anime BDs so it wasn't at extra charge over just buying the BDs, but selling something like this as a separate game is just blatantly milking the fanbase.

Yeah, I have them, though I've never gotten around to putting them in my PS3...

So this is just like the G4U games, then, as opposed to playing anything like actual iM@S? Singing and dancing aside, I actually enjoy the core gameplay cycle of iM@S, so I'm always in the market for something vaguely similar. If it's just the picture taking, though, I'm not really interested.

Fantastic, might have to buy the original then lol

Make sure to buy the second, it has the first game and the continuation expansion.

Side Note: You are the first person I've ever seen who likes Kanako. People say I'm nuts for liking Kirino, but you sir, are a true masochist. lol

i dunno Japanese and this game looks impenetrable without that knowledge.

Yeah, it looks like the SNS thing will handle most of the character interactions, so unless you can read it, you're boned. Don't think PS3 games can get fan translations can they?
 
Wish these games came with english subs even if they did not plan to sell it at retail abroad. I wonder how much a english translation costs. PS3 is region free in most cases right?

Yeah, I wish they would just whip up a quick English translation and put it on PSN. It doesn't even need to be a good translation.

I'd love to get the game, and the visual novels on the PSP, but I can't read japanese very well and I don't have a PSP :-(.

Are they on the PSP classics section of the Japanese PSN store?

:D

Shes the similar character type to Anise from Tales of the Abyss. Which is why I found her character amusing.

I knew it, they are all becoming idols. Could be interesting, I guess. I'm not the biggest fan of idol games.

I hope some good songs come out of it at least.

Judging by the video, Manami, Kuroneko, Kirino, Ayase and KanaKana will be the idols. So no love for Saori.

I'm surprised Manami made it over Saori. I mean, look at the girl without the otaku outfit!
Knowing her though, she probably refused the chance.
 
True saori should have been part of it.

i'm concerned about how the idol part works. are they competing between themselves or is there a ranking system?

are managing onnly one idol at a time or are doing all 5 ?

Is the idol system like idol master with various lessons , or is it simplified by just the gravure system ?

All the dengeki article says about the idol growth stuff is that you will be able to give them advices by replying to their messages on that twitter like thing, and that will determine what kind of idols they will be like.

But it seems like there will be an event on 06/07 (I believe this is also the release date of the last volume of the novel) and maybe we will get more info about the system.

I dunno...that ad's still not much to go on but I think I may end up passing for the time being and put that money towards Oreimo BD's. We'll see though.
 
Guess I'll put off buying the boxset for a little while longer to get this... You know, being an otaku is tough, especially when you like OreImo. You have so many commitments; figures, blu-rays, manga, dakimakura, games... Sigh. My goal of a complete collection of official goods keeps slipping further and further away.

Going for a full collection of anything is pretty much wallet suicide. I'm still waiting for Saori to get her well deserved Nendo, but beggars can't be choosers.

I'm still waiting for this to go up for pre-order. Damnit Amiami, I want to give you more of my money, why won't you let me do it yet. T_T

EDIT: As I say that I see it's up on Amiami, success!

EDIT: Still no standard version, now to see if I can hold back enough without ordering the LE. X_X
 
Seems like a good game for fans of the series. I enjoyed the first season but haven't watched the second yet.

Judging by the pics the graphics looks great. I love the way Cel Shading is implemented in this game. Looks gorgeous.

I will wait for the first impressions here on GAF. It seems like a game that can't be enjoyed without knowing a lot Japanese. The photo section is pretty tempting tho.

Is it originally a series of games or anime? I think I'll give it a try but I don't know if I should play the games or watch the anime first.

It originally was a light novel. Manga and anime adaptations came next, games after that. Anime is fine.

I approve greatly of Kanako being on the cover also. Though the lack of Saori is disturbing. D:
