The Darkest Evil

I never thought I’d say this again but I want a console game. Congratulations universe, you win. Oh, but it’s not just a console game. It’s a cute japanese dating sim called The Idolm@ster and it’s available only on the Xbox 360. It gets worse, because it’s not only available solely for the Xbox 360, but in addition, it’s locked to the NTSC/J (Japan) region. This means, I’d have to buy a Japanese Xbox 360 to play it. So, in order to play it, I’d have to spend around $380 USD, and that does not even include the duties I would have to pay to Canadian Customs nor does it include the duties I would have to pay to the US customs in the event that I have to be sent back to the United States.

But it’s so goddamn cute! Just take a look at this video on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean. And yes, it’s solely in Japanese so you will need a fairly large understanding of the Japanese language to understand how to play it. But it looks so cute, so you can bet your ass that whenever I get some extra cash that is not dedicated to paying bills, the rent or fees from the Canadian Government, I am going to spend it on this. You can visit the official Idolm@ster website to learn more about the game. You can also find a copy of the official trailer at Spymac.
