Hyperdimension Idol Neptunia PP Video Highlights Noire
posted on by Egan Loo
Compile Heart began streaming an 92-second promotional movie to profile the character Noire/Black Heart (voiced by Asami Imai) in its upcoming PS Vita game Kami Jigen Idol Neptune PP (Hyperdimension Idol Neptunia PP) on Thursday.
As in the previous Neptunia games, the story is set in the video-game homage world of Gameindustri, where the goddesses have maintained the peace. However, in the 21st century, the world has been shaken to its core by the idol boom, and the goddesses like Neptune lose their share of followers. Unlike some of the other goddesses, however, Noire welcomes the opportunity to become an idol at Lastation.
The video shows Noire performing to the song "with confidence" (idol dance ver.), complete with her transformation. In the game itself, the player can produce Noire's career by training her, outlining her daily schedule, interacting with other characters in conversations, and arranging her live concerts (from set lists to dance moves and camera work). The more successful Noire get, the more share she gain as Gameindustri's #1 idol. In the viewer mode, players can "touch" Noire and the other characters via the PS Vita screen to get them to perform different actions with voices.
The regular edition will retail for 6,279 yen (about US$63) on June 20, while the limited edition will go for 8,379 yen (US$84) and the download version for 5,300 yen (US$53). The limited edition comes with Hyperdimension Neptunia ~Goddess Communication~ Nep PP Edition, a situation drama CD, and an exclusive mobile phone stand. People who preorder the game will receive a Hyperdimension Idol Neptunia skin seal for the PS Vita and an accompanying animated wallpaper.
