Is there any particular reason as to why Namco has never bothered to bring over the [email protected]/* */ games to the west? Though at this point, I don't think it even matters, what with it losing popularity in Japan due to LL and literally no effort to grow a fanbase in the west (and also lost in the west to LL).

Licensing issues with the songs and voice actresses, the cost for getting that shit in order for an international release would out weigh the possible profits.

Also with how these days everything is dubbed and censored, you wouldn't even recognize the game after such mutilation.
Considering target audience it just won't sell.

Bingo. People forget that idoruus are big business in Japan. Not just moneymakers, but literally business, with all kinds of contracts, rights, and licensing deals.

especially with faggots like Victor Ireland wanting a whack at the series;

>For example, and I’d love to do this one: THE [email protected]/* */ Those are great games, but they have some stuff that I don’t think would fly here. Basically, it’s borderline pedophilia. Those scenes, like it or not, are gonna either be removed entirely or repurposed for something else.

I'm honestly not totally -opposed- to the idea of an "international" focused [email protected]/* */ game, but obviously it should be it's own thing instead of repurposing any of the 765 games.

But at the same time, the thought of dubbed 765Pro is way too hilarious.

It shouldn't infuriate me so much. But it does.

Aren't the girls all like 16? Which is legal in most of the US? What the fuck, can we nuke California yet?

Because it's moeshit. The west doesn't deserve that type of garbage.

at least in the mobile rhythm game there are a bunch of idols that are like 12.

...

Fuck your anime shit, when's AC7? Where's a decent Afro Samurai game?

...

Its called Furi

I like Furi but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for whatever they were going for with the first Afro Sam game and then fucked it all up with the second one.

Then you're shit out of luck

What does [email protected]/* */ have to do with AC (aside from DLC) or even Afro Samurai?

Its japanese and not weebshit

I like how he's like "I don't think that kind of thing works… IN THE US."

It's fucking surreal, like watching someone with a brain parasite. "Oh, sure, we murder and torture people for that here, but other countries, pfft, man, whatever. It's not like we're murdering and torturing people over an absolute or anything."

People are insane.

That's exactly how these people think, like a few years back they changed the alcohol age from 16 to 18 here. Now you have people crying murder if a 17 year old is drinking.

Who sold it to them? Why the change?

age is, like, just a number man

i actually believe that, no joke

what is the relation with idolmaster and berserker?

Bring Side M to the west.

The manga seems to go on hiatus whenever a new idolmaster game comes out.

I never understood this argument ever since I read the best reply (on this site):
If violent games make you a murderer, does watching porn every day make me a sex god?

Miura once said in an interview he likes Idolmaster and what said

If industry faggots are going to push for digital releases anyhow, then why not push Sony/MS to make their user-accounts international… letting anybody from any region access the stores of any other region. That way a customer can simply buy from the proper licensed vendor. Seems to be the simplest way around all this shit.

Especially if they're not going to bother cracking down on import shops. Sends a mixed message.

Yeah, and jail is just a room.


But that means they can't maximize their profits by making certain regions pay more for their games, goy!

well, it doesnt sound THAT bad.

Oh man, these guys would have a heart attack if they knew what like half the people who use MMD actually use it for.

Also it's not pedophilia at that point, a better term would be ephebephilia

lolis are so fuckin cool

Because thankfully, autistic shitstains are largely contained in nip land and the vocal minority infesting this site are just that.

reminder that Hibiki best girl

No market and good fucking riddance. Make Japan not want to bother with the rest of current year retards and eventually go into isolation until that shit stops.

I think you mean Chihaya, but it's OK to be wrong sometimes.
