Well, there it is, this strange game that could only have ever been produced in Japan. First released in the still striving arcades, and now parted to the 360, iDOLM@STER is part mini-games, part conversations with multiple choices. It's a really weird mix, but it's certainly working well enough to warrant this port in Japan.
This first video shows the first 15 minutes of the game, with some mini-games, some communication "lessons" and the important choosing of the girl's clothes. The second part will be online tomorrow, with the debut single and the first audition and TV coverage.
Update: Second part online, with a casting (good luck understanding what's going on!) and a rather terrible first TV!

The ever great looking Idolmaster is back with these two pages scanned in the latest Famitsu Weekly. Cat-girls fans will be pleased :D

Here come those dancing anime girls again, this time in the shape of new promotional video thats been running in japanese gameshops at the moment. Thumbs up for the choreography ^_^;

Namco released the TGS trailer of Idolmaster, in very low resolution unfortunately. Despite the quite horrible music, it still looks and moves very nicely.
Update: Latest Famitsu scans added.
Update 2: The trailer is now available on the marketplace. I've of course captured it, and you'll certainly notice that the new dashboard video playback may be even worse than before. Joy.
Update 3: Just because I know you are now fans of this game, here is a video showing some parts of 2 video clips, with some "noisy" jpop to go along.

I know you've all been waiting for this video, so there it is! Yes, I'm speaking about Idolmaster of course! Putting the creepy part of the game aside, it looks nice and certainly moves well.

This weeks Famitsu was quite busy with new XBox360 articles, but for now here's just another look at Namco's forthcoming 'J-idol manager' simulation called The Idolmaster, and the new girl character that was introduced in this issue. For all four people that care...me included !

Another port of popular arcade game is coming to Xbox360 In Japan. This time it's Namco's japanese idol/singer simulation called THE iDOLM@STER. This title will probably make few more japanese gamers to go and purchase XB360 me thinks. As always Famitsu Weekly is first to bring the news.
Update : Added 9 direct feed images.
