Want to fall in love with an idol? Don't worry, Namco Bandai's got you covered on that one as they make a special dating game for your PSP: AKB 1/48 Fall In Love With An Idol.

 

 

 

 

Yes, that title is quite a mouthful indeed, but at least getting a date through this game doesn't require as much effort. So here's how it goes. Basically, there are 48 idols from the group, all of which are your potential dates. All you have to do is to win over your favorite idol for you to earn that date.

Who are these idols exactly? Apparently, they are Japanese stars who did their own voice acting for the game, on top of posing for loads and loads of photos -- over 10,000 photos, in fact, plus some 80 minutes of video to watch.

 

 

 

 

Japanese die-hard fans can take a shot at love on December 23, 2010 when AKB 1/48 Fall In Love With An Idol releases. They're also releasing some limited edition for it, which includes a limited edition AKB48 pink PSp-3000, 48 lipstick marked batter covers, real size kiss mark stickers, ten photos, two making of DVDs, 24 cover art slips, a UMD video with unreleased footage worth 120 minutes, and a special box.

 

 

 

 

The standard game costs JPY 5,229 (US$ 63), while the Premier Pack is priced at JPY 36, 729 (US$ 440). Another bundle, which includes all those other freebies EXCEPT the pink PSP-3000 is for JPY 10, 479 (US$ 125).

 

 

 

 

Wow, even as a game, dating really is expensive!

AKB48 is a popular music band stationed in Akihabara(AKA Anime Mecca)in Japan. All 48-girls you see in the picture are part of the band. They made a brief appearance in Anime Expo(located in Los Angelos Convention Center) on July 1st.

Other than that, I find the idea of a game based on them downright desperate and ridiculous. Plus, they're are many ADV(Adventure/Anime-based dating sims) which make up half of the PSP Market in Japan. Seeing as to how this is, I doubt this game will sell on a large scale.

Also, if you're going to buy a dating sim with 3D girls(or simply put, images/videos of underage girls), you might as well go find a real girlfriend. If you're too lazy to do that, play some of the nice dating Sims off Newgrounds . com ;-)
