Just as Namco Bandai announces AKB1/153, Kadokawa Games has decided to bring a long missing AKB48 game back into the spotlight. Famitsu this week reveals an October 25 release date for AKB48+Me. The 3DS title will carry ¥5,670 price.
Siliconera: "I wouldn’t say AKB48+Me is bad. It’s just a simple timesink and, as we all know, these can be surprisingly fun on occasion. Especially when they’re priced right. And, for under $15, probably even cheaper if you’re actually in Japan, it’s a good way to kill a few afternoons. I ended up becoming the best singer ever over the span of three days, when I was sick in bed and didn’t feel like doing much else, and had more fun than I probably should have while I did."
Siliconera: In the west, Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion is the first third-party Nintendo 3DS title that will be available both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop. In Japan, that honour goes to AKB48+Me and Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd.
Siliconera: You can date the girls from AKB48 and in AKB48+Me you can train to be one of the girls. If you want to get selected as AKB48′s idol, you have to look your best on stage.
