Andriasang: The PSP AKB48 games were packed full of photographs and videos of the actual AKB48 members. Kadokawa Games is taking a different approach for the 3DS AKB48 game. Famitsu reveals that the AKB48 girls will appear in the game in Mii form.
The aptly titled AKB48+Me puts players in the role of a prospective AKB48 candidate. Over a three year period, you'll need to interact with the AKB48 girls in the hope of eventually becoming a member yourself.
Siliconera: "I wouldn’t say AKB48+Me is bad. It’s just a simple timesink and, as we all know, these can be surprisingly fun on occasion. Especially when they’re priced right. And, for under $15, probably even cheaper if you’re actually in Japan, it’s a good way to kill a few afternoons. I ended up becoming the best singer ever over the span of three days, when I was sick in bed and didn’t feel like doing much else, and had more fun than I probably should have while I did."
Siliconera: In the west, Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion is the first third-party Nintendo 3DS title that will be available both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop. In Japan, that honour goes to AKB48+Me and Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd.
Siliconera: You can date the girls from AKB48 and in AKB48+Me you can train to be one of the girls. If you want to get selected as AKB48′s idol, you have to look your best on stage.
