Full featured images have been released of the three cover artworks for each respective variant of upcoming and hotly anticipated title, The iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa – a different flavor of moe present on all.
The iDOLM@STER’s development crew certainly seems to understand how to most effectively take advantage of the easily influenced consumer base known as “otaku” – the girls are essentially grouped by fetish and flashily promoted by means of cute artwork in order to inspire one to purchase all units of the needlessly cut short set. And better yet, acquiring all three may be a feat in itself – though as this is in respect to otaku, there’s sure to be some fellow purchasing 50 copies of each of the three.
Nonetheless, that’s how it goes – and it’s somewhat ever slightly tough to blame anyone for such when being met with the many moe faces of the idols.
Above, one can see that rendition of the game in particular is quite a haven for flat chests and lolis – although it seems to still also have the lovely animal-loving bishoujo as well. And immediately below, it’s a rather curious mix of girls – with perhaps one common facet being how they all have their own odd set of interests as is quite memorable from the anime. Then finally, the last image below exhibits the main protagonist and others – the distinct commonality likely being that there’s two pairs of characters who are more intimate than with everyone else.
All in all, the power of cuteness appears to be quite effective.

I just want them all. Guess, I’ll have to pick one for the sake of my wallet.

Can’t be helped.

I want #3

As expected from NamcoBandai. But why these games are not on PSVita?

For sake of irritation.

I enjoy the fact that the second cover features all five of my favorite characters. I guess I fall into a demographic after all…

The second cover will sell well cause they are loli’s with high pitched voices (with the exception of Hibiki who just has an annoying voice)

Annoyingly attractive.

“Hibiki who just has an annoying voice”
She has the most adorable voice I’ve ever heard, but nobody beats Chihaya. Funnily enough, I used to be into loli a lot until I started to play idolm@ster 2 and Hibiki became my most favourite character.

Would have imagined a higher demand for the bishoujos by nature.
