The iDOLM@STER: SideM (mobage)

[animagic4u]

Game is open here[/img].

It plays more like ML.

As addicted I am to ML and other similar games on GREE, I can't see myself getting into this.
Someone tell me if there's traps hiding in there somewhere.

I'm worried that this game won't have extensive English guides like the other iM@S games...

So far I've seen more dudes who look like girls than anything, Annie.

I don't think this game will really need extensive English guides.  Most of the other mobile games were pretty simple or you could always just pull out Google Translate and memorize some of the menu functions.

A few of the idols that were found before maintenance hit. It's definitely got the trap demographic covered

...And yet Ryo isn't one of them. They went ahead and made a new trap pads and wig and all instead of using one they already had. One with a lot of fans.

Now that I think of it, the 876 idols weren't in Cinderella Girls or Million Live, right? So Dearly Stars is basically being ignored...

Also, Haruna Wakazato reminds me of Gaius from Fire Emblem. Sweet tooth and all. Definitely an expy...


Seriously this is Gaius and nobody can tell me otherwise.

So if they've officially broken away from 961PRO and joined 315PRO, where does this leave "Gold Productions" (the company they defected into in their manga series)?

Didn't I just said that they work for Different Idol Production companies? (Where did they say that they joined 315Pro?)

As in "freelance idols", since they are following the iM@S Anime plot. Gold Pro could've been one of their many short term idol jobs that they have.

On the side note: Has anyone confirmed the gender of the Producer of this game yet? Because people have been chatting about whether it's a Male P or Female P.

Is this still under maintenance or did they do another maintenance break?

I see they've got the chuunibyou slot covered as well.

Hokuto is dance while Shouta is image? -_-...
With his corner-cut dancing in his role of the trio in IM@S 2, I always assumed he was image.

It's a common issue with the mobile card games. All the well-established idols (765Pro and Jupiter) are always mixed up when it comes to what types they are. The worst, imo, are placing Yukiho and Iori in the Passion Category and Makoto and Hibiki in the Cute Category in Cinderella Girls, when it really should be the other way around. Million Live had a similar issue with the Futami Twins being considered Visual and Iori being considered Vocal, when the Twins were usually Dance and Iori was usually Visual. It's something that always bothered me with the mobile games and here its at its weirdest. The little boy who can do backflips and cartwheels on stage is Visual and the Handsome (no homo) young man who's specialty is being charming is Dance? Sure, Namco Bandai. Sure.

I could have sworn the twins were Dance...

In any case, not a lot of people catch that the CG placement was because of the PSP games. Wandering Star was Passion with the exception of Takane being switched for Miki, Perfect Sun was Cute, and Missing Moon was Cool.

These games always have some weird placements, though...

The Twins are with other Visual Idols here.

It's like the developers just picked names and categories out of a hat, shipped the game out and realized "Oh crap, we made a boo-boo" for three games. :p

The typing works if you think of them as Cinderella Girl types rather than ViDaVo. Hokuto being the cool guy and Shouta as passion

In the brief time I was able to play the game, I noticed my starter Teru's highest stat was actually Dance during the boss round with Shiki, so the Red/Blue/Yellow structure isn't necessarily classifying them by best vocalist/dancer/charisma
