This was brought up in Paruru thread, a new smart phone game features AKB48. Did some research in Chinese. From what I read from Chinese gaming side that covers this. It's Koei product and based on the name "AKB48 no Yabo", it should be the similar game as "Nobunaga no Yabo" or for those in U.S. " Nobunaga's Ambition" Which means that this game is a strategy title and that each member will be leaders or soldier trying to take over and unified the fictional world "Ra Chanto" (ラ・チャント). The class/affinity is as follows: Weapons>Musical Instruments>Magic>Machines>Weapons Here is the link the the Chinese site with more screen shots: http://home.gamer.com.tw/creationDetail.php?sn=1845925 Announcement trailer form archy89: I wish this game would be available in U.S. I have high hope for Koei-Tecmo.
The four groups: Magic, Machinery, Weapons, Music Instrument The four leaders are... Magic: Oshima Yuko (15 members including Itano Tomomi, Umeda Ayaka, Iwasa Misaki) Weapons: Kashiwagi Yuki (20 members including Shinoda Mariko, Takahashi Minami, Yokoyama Yui) Machinery Watanabe Mayu (15 members including Kitahara Rie, Minegishi Minami, Watanabe Miyuki) Music Kojima Haruna (15 members including Matsui Jurina, Yamaguchi Suzuran, Ichikawa Miori)
The question here is why is Yukirin's faction have 20 members when everyone else is 15. And the GM don't have a faction of her own?!!! I smell a defection storyline for the Weapons faction...
Just dropping by some photos.... natalie The last photo reminds me of Marvel Vs Capcom during the days.
awesome this reminds me of ff tactics or suikoden or something... actually they shud remake those games with akb members :music:
Base on the screen shot it'll probably to something similar to Spectral Force or Dragon Force albeit with a bit different battle interface.
Adding another video... [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqJnq2gMBio[/yt] from JIJIPRESS EDIT: Found another photo Spoiler
Upon further reading, it seem that the four group are not factions just their character classes. You can pick any member you want and leads her in her ambition to conquer the land while recruits other members as the game goes on. So it does look like the game is similar to Spectral Force and Dragon Force. (for people that still remember this game) Or more simply the recent Pokemon Conquest (which happens to be a fusion between Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition.) There are also special character dynamic that will play out as storyline in what I assume to be different character combination. For example, Mayuyu and Paruru seem to be long lost sisters... Ob, and it seems that Gree (one of the partner for this) has quite a few games in U.S. app store so maybe, just maybe...
its just bigger pic, doesnt mean anything. all of member have the same value. the reason why weapon has 20 member because they are frontline team in battle. at least this team has to die first n decreasing the enemy number before the other team enter the battle.
I must play this. This looks awesome. I can almost deal with not being able to play the other AKB games but this one is in one of my favorite genres and I can't help myself... I WILL find a way to play this game
-reads through thread- SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS! Ohhhh I may try this when it comes out~ Though I've already got too many app games that eat away my time and make me more useless than I already am

This looks interesting. It looks more like a real game than the other AKB games that are more like marketing tools. This being a smart phone game probably means there won't be much depth to it. I wonder if its emphasis is single player or multiplayer. By the looks of it I'd say multiplayer. This makes me wish for a legit AKB RPG.
The video from JIJIPRESS is now dead but we got another one from the official YT channel of AKB48. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf2RRH624tI[/yt] GREE「AKB48の野望」ソーシャルゲーム 完成発表会 / AKB48[公式]
