Check out the trailer of AKB1/48 Sequel which featuring some behind the scene of the game.
PSLS: It’s now the last quarter of the year, the “golden quarter” for game developers, shops, and journalists alike. This year in particular, Sony looks to make some huge bank in these next three months, especially in Japan. Here’s a detailed look at the Far East’s fourth quarter.
I hope people realize nintendo has made the most money on software and hardware during the last 5 holidays ( Which is why they always tend to be number 1 worldwide for the year. Its the reason last year the wii was the number 1 selling console) . It isnt even really fair.
You realize their product isn't as attractive anymore? Did your mom get you that 3ds you've been wanting so bad Timmy?
TKE: I’ve been playing a rather interesting PSP game recently.
I’m sure all of you know who AKB48 is. It’s impossible not to know. They are EVERYWHERE! But just in case you were living in a cave for the past few years, AKB48 is a Japanese female idol group advertised as “idols you can meet”. They have their own performing theater in Akihabara (thus the group name AKB, the short form for Akiba, which is a short form for Akihabara) where fans can see them live everyday. The group is huge and split into 4 teams, Team A, Team K, Team B, and Team 4.
And then…one day, I chanced upon a random Youtube video about this PSP game. A PSP game called AKB1/48.
So when I started playing this game, I was so amused and excited. It was definitely interesting to ‘go out’ with a girl and see the various ways they try to make you like her. I also discovered that, for students of the Japanese language, this is an excellent way to learn Japanese!
Interesting... I'm not into dating sims but I've been working on my Japanese RosetaStone for almost 6 months now and like to supplement it with games and music. I think changing things up helps a lot when learning a new language. Good article!
I don't mind improving my japanese just for dating one of them in real life XD
A very fun read indeed. I wouldn't mind giving this title a try because I always wanted to learn Japanese (only second to German and Russian). Besides that, I know I cant win a girl's heart with just my fendora.
Back in June, it was announced that Japanese idol group AKB48 would release a sequel to their popular dating simulation game “AKB 1/48 Idol to Koishitara…” on the PSP. The new game is called “AKB 1/48 Idol to Guam de Koishitara…” and will be set on the beautiful island of Guam.
On Friday, September 2nd, the weekly tabloid and gravure magazine ‘FRIDAY‘ published their latest edition and teased the game with swimsuit pictures of the AKB48 girls. The pictures were taken during the game’s photo shooting.
Should I say "Guam Represent!"....?
I have no clue what they said, but it sounds adorable!
LOL! Ummm... Do you guys know that most of them are under age?
And that it's a dating simulator?
