@spencer – Yeah, I figured that’s what you meant after I posted.

@Strike Man – Wikipedia says these are rhythm games, so maybe the gameplay isn’t that text-dependent.

In other words, it’s more import-friendly since you’ll be able to play it without any sort of hardware or software modifications…but…without a good grasp of the Japanese language, you still won’t know what is going on half the time? Just how “import friendly” is the _gameplay_?

It is more import friendly because it’s region free. As opposed to all the Idolm@ster games on XBox 360 that require a Japanese XBox to play.

@Douglas – Train idols.

@justinslot – The other Idolm@ster games are region restricted on the Xbox 360 and since this is on the PSP anyone can pick it up.

And why is this version more import-friendly? Is there some English translation in it?

So what do you actually do in these games?

I will definitely be picking up the Wandering Star version (for Iori Minase since Rie Kugimiya is her voice actress, unless they changed it for the PSP version) when it comes out. I’ve been wanting to try out the game since I heard about it a few years ago. Hopefully, the voice acting is still intact in the PSP version.

I’m gonna import Perfect Sun, cause Makoto is my favorite.
