No PSP no buy. I was pretty hyped about it too.

Madness, only extreme fans would buy. Any chance of trying to make a fanbase has been greatly diminish.

Is the game and anime episodes dubbed? It would be really interesting if they were.

Anyway, I am pretty upset that they only released these games on iOS devices. I only have Android devices and I am a huge iDOLM@STER fan. Seems like I got the short end of the stick here.

Yeah, this was a dumb move. If they released it for the PSP, I'd have bought it again. I'm not buying an iPad for this.

Talk about wasted potential. We finally get an IM@S game and its on a phone, Apple phone at that. Later in the month we'll get a press release from BAMCO stating that because interest was so low they won't bring any other games.... I wonder why.

I was expecting 20 dollar releases for each game on PSN... so I would have been totally fine with 55 bucks for all 3. But 55 bucks EACH? That mainly seems to just be because of the anime episode, I guess. The whole reverse importation thing they are worrying about again..

This price point guarantees failure. And on my phone? No thanks. I'd have jumped quickly for it on my PSP or PS3, but on my phone? For $50 each? No. Just no.

Instant buy... Cool

Expect me to be off the grid for weeks from this evening on.

I'm kind of confused how people complain on how it's on a phone.

any serious iOS gamer know the iPad is where it's at. i'm just hoping the game is just like the PSP version and not nerfed with DLC crap.

The words serious and iOS and gamer do not mesh.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Shiny Festa is not really an iDOLM@STER game in its strictest sense. Sure, it bears the name and has some songs; however, the real iDOLM@STER games aren't rhythm games -- they're more akin to raising sims.

Even ignoring the price, making it an iOS exclusive release ensures that me and everyone else I know who would otherwise have considered a purchase will definitely not be picking these up. Tragic, considering that the poor sales they are ensuring here will basically doom the prospects of any other iDOLM@STER game ever coming out here....

Because you're not a true gamer if you're casual, right? That casual gaming generally attracts more females and older gamers is, I'm sure, just coincidental to having their seriousness questioned by the very much minority of very serious gamers.
