IM@S PS3 update and G4U! Vol. 2 info

Official news on IM@S 2 for PS3 and G4U! Vol. 2 comes by way of Dengeki Online! Some of it confirms what I posted previously, but there is a bunch of brand new stuff too.

First-run Limited Production Edition (19,800 yen, tax included)

  • PS3 Software [THE IDOLM@STER 2]
  • Anime Blu-ray [THE IDOLM@STER Vol. 1] Complete Production Limited Edition
    • Vocal CD [PERFECT IDOL 01]
    • Newly commissioned novel
    • Voucher for priority event ticketing
    • Digipak case with commissioned illustration by Atsushi Nishigori
    • Special Pin-up
  • Box to hold all 9 Blu-ray volumes of the anime
  • PS3 Software [THE IDOLM@STER Gravure for You! VOL.1]
  • Soundtrack CD for [THE IDOLM@STER 2]
  • [Monthly Idol Gravure VOL.1], a seasonal idol support magazine
For Monthly Idol Gravure VOL.1, Haruka and Iori are the "PUSH GIRL" for it, which I'm guessing means they're the featured idols.

As for the PS3 game, it will have a new song and a new costume for Ryuuguu Komachi. The song is 七彩ボタン (Seven-colored Button) and the new costume is called プリンセスメロディ♪ (Princess Melody♪). They'll use these in game when you come up against them as rivals in a festival with HYPER mode. They can also be unlocked for use in Stage for You!. A trailer is going to be shown with the new song and outfit at the Tokyo Game Show in mid September.

G4U! VOL.2 will have Mami as the cover girl (yay!), and it will be included in a pack called [Anime & G4U! Pack VOL.2], on sale November 23, 2011 for 9,980 yen, tax included. The pack will also include [Monthly Idol Gravure VOL.2] and of course the anime Blu-ray disc, which will contain episodes 3 through 5. It will also include the following extras:

  • Drama CD Vol. 1
  • Material Collection Part 1
  • Digipak case with commissioned illustration by Atsushi Nishigori 
  • Special Pin-up
  • Audio commentary from the cast

Well, seems pretty awesome to me. I'll probably end up with all of this somehow. I have no idea how I'd use the voucher for priority event ticketing. I hope it's for more than just one event, so maybe I can get priority ticketed for some IM@S concert.  Noooo, I can feel NBGI sucking the money from me already!

Arcade Stick Artwork

After modding my Mad Catz Fightstick TE recently with the Toodles MC Cthulhu and Imp v2, I started thinking about maybe replacing the artwork on it with custom artwork as well. I put together a quick design with gimp...well, it would have been quick if I could use gimp properly.   Anyway, what do you guys think? Feel free to leave impressions and suggestions in the comments.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo

So just the other day, I tried out the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo on my Xbox 360. It was an interesting experience, but I'm not sure I like it a lot. First thing I want to say is that my comparisons will mainly be to Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. I think that's reasonable, considering that was the last game in the series to come out on the Xbox 360. Anyway, there are two modes in the demo, fighter plane mode and attack helicopter mode. I tried plane mode first. There are two control schemes you can choose for plane mode. One is called Standard, and the other one is called Original. Standard is an easier mode where the plane auto-levels in the absence of control inputs, and you simply push the left control stick in the direction you want to go. The rudder is still a separate control though that can be used for yaw adjustments. The demo defaults to this control scheme. Original gives you full control, making the x-axis of the control stick control the plane's roll...

11eyes and New Anime

So I just finished watching 11eyes, and overall, it wasn't really that good. I'm still thinking about playing the game though, seeing as how it looks quite different from the anime, I'm going to guess that it is in fact different, and hopefully interesting and engaging. I'm probably going to pick up the Xbox 360 version. I've also watched the first episodes of a few shows this season now, being Ladies verses Butlers, Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu, and Dance in the Vampire Bund. Ladies verses Butlers so far is most definitely a fanservicey show, and Flameheart's incredibly huge drill hair vaguely bothered me initially just by the sheer size. I somewhat got used to it as I watched the episode, but for a short while I was contemplating how much hair you would need to be able to pull off that kind of hair. Nevertheless, it seems like it might be fun to watch, so I'll be keeping up with it for the time being. I like Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu for the fact that it...
