From Gematsu: "Bandai Namco has released a 15th anniversary trailer for The Idolmaster series. The series will celebrate its 15th anniversary on July 26, 2020.
According to Bandai Namco, the series’ anniversary period will run from July 2019 to July 2021. In other words, these are the two years in which it will release The Idolmaster 15th anniversary-branded products or have 15th anniversary-themed events."
God Eater 2 has a little crossover with another Namco Bandai series, The Idolm@ster. If you purchase the hunting game from HMV in Japan you’ll get a code that unlocks an Idolm@ster costume for Alisa as a bonus.
SGCafe: ''Namco Bandai Games’s general producer for The Idolm@ster series, Yozo Sakagami, appeared as a special guest on Sega’s Samurai & Dragons Fan Meeting 2013 Summer event in Akihabara held earlier today.''
"The Idolm@ster game for Xbox 360, PSP and the arcade. So I’m going to half-ass explain what this game is to all you bastards. Basically, it’s Tamagotchi, but you play as a producer who works for a production studio and you have to help prospective pop idols make it big. This game is very Japanese and is predominantly played by men. These games also have never been released in the United States, which I hate, because who are they to say what we’ll buy? It’s like those assholes at Nintendo of America saying that no one would play Fatal Frame on the Wii! I’d buy it on day one!" - Matt Papayanopolus of Geekenstein.com
