Idolmaster Shiny Festa

[darkarn]

Ok fine, I am going to use my Chinese name for the name section; how do I find the correct Japanese pronounciation for it?

And as for the address, I will just go ahead and plonk in some placeholder data until I get a real one in the future (somehow...   ) Is it possible to change the address? Or rather more importantly, where do you guys find your "address"?

Just use your Chinese pronunciation and write it in Katakana as best you can. ^_^
Not sure about the other part.
And as previously mentioned just use a school or something. ^_^

...and I'm in! Thanks for the help man! I guess the hard part is just getting a Japanese name; the Katakana part is pretty easy since there are English-Katakana converters online



PS: Most of the details can be changed after account creation thankfully...

Ok guys, apparently, Shiny Festa is released for iOS now.

Both in Japanese and US Apple Stores 

[ninjamitsuki]

The US Apple store?!

This is a big thing. First U.S. iDOLM@STER release! However small it is.

[Heattokun]

The US Apple store?!

This is a big thing. First U.S. iDOLM@STER release! However small it is.

Im confirming: YES.
YES IT IS IN THE US APPLE STORE
BUT IT IS $55 BUCKS.
APPARENTLY YOU PAY FOR THE SIZE
NAAAAAAAAAMCOOOOOOOOOOOO

You forgot about DLC. ;_;

[Zerorush]

Can anyone confirm if they're cutting out content from the PSP versions to resell as DLC or not? If all of the original stuff is free and they instead use the DLC market to deliver new songs I'd definitely be down for purchasing this.

[Accoun]

So basically they don't want us to buy anything so they can say that they won't localize mainline iM@S, because the franchise doesn't sell in the west.

[The Blizzard]

Hell, I'd buy it. I mean, it probably cost that much to buy the PSP version. As long as most of the songs I like are free

[Zerorush]

So basically they don't want us to buy anything so they can say that they won't localize mainline iM@S, because the franchise doesn't sell in the west.

That's honestly why I'm tempted to buy and support it even if its a horrible cash in port.

From what I've heard its been a real battle for the im@s supporters in Namco's western branches to convince Namco Japan that the series has potential here. It'd suck for it to fail and us never get another shot at more releases :c

55 USD (Around 68 SGD)...

That's slightly cheaper than ordering from AmiAmi :S

[SakuraMaxX]

Honestly feel like I wouldn't be able to laugh hard enough if y'all dropped $55 on something that got immediately thrown to the bargain bin even if I put the bullhorn right to your head.

[Daverost]

Ugh. They were renamed, too.

So basically they don't want us to buy anything so they can say that they won't localize mainline iM@S, because the franchise doesn't sell in the west.

That's the impression I got. I'm going to make sure to complain a lot on their forums later.

[Maka]

i'm laughing because people have been clamoring for a NA idolmaster for years then when it finally comes y'all find 600 things to complain about
