Bandai Namco Games confirmed at "
The IDOLM@STER Masters of Idol World!! 2014" concert event on Sunday that it will release a new social game,
The IDOLM@STER SideM. Like previous
Idolm@ster
games, this new one is built on the concept of "idols you can produce."
Unlike previous games, this "dramatic idol training card game" is
focused on the male idols at the agency 315 Production (pronounced
"Saikō Production" or "Ultimate Production").
Here's the
Video
Each of the 315 Production idols switched jobs for "various reasons" to become idols:
Tendō Teru, a former lawyer
Kashiwagi Tsubasa, a former pilot
Sakuraba Kaoru, a former surgeon
Takajō Kyōji, a former freelancing part-time worker
Shingen Seiji, a former
Self-Defense Forces member
Aoi Kyōsuke, a former pro soccer player
Personally, I think that their previous jobs was pretty interesting~
The game begins with the player scouting fresh talent on the streets and
through contests. Then, you can form a unit with your favorite idols.
You train the aspiring idols with lessons, and change their outfits in the makeup room.
Some familiar faces will appear in
The IDOLM@STER SideM:
the male idol group Jupiter, formerly of 961 Production. Mitarai Shōta,
Amagase Tōma, and Ijūin Hokuto are looking for a fresh start after
leaving 961.
Oh yes! Jupiter!! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
The Mobage mobile game platform began accepting
player registration on Sunday, and those who register early will all
receive Amagase Tōma for free. The game is free to play, but some
in-game items will have fees.
