This just resembles Rovio's Angry Birds Toons. However, Nameko challenged Tokusatsu(特撮) in cooperation with Tsuburaya production this time. the title is "Nameko School Wars".

Wow! A lot of suits of Nameko appear! Funny! Kawaii! The video is shown in Youtube now.


The suits of Nameko move intensely, and many special effects are added. Tsuburaya production is known as a Japanese well-established special effects company. They made a lot of famous special effects works such as the Godzilla and Ultra-man. Those know-how is used for Nameko School Wars.

Production company of the Nameko series BeeWorks is going to raise Nameko character using various technique. It is not the tactics that they are going to earn by only a game.

The book of Japanese crazy virtual economy of mobile social game

Japanese virtual economy is crazy. People using tens of thousands of yen for a mobile social game for one month are not rare in Japan(now, 1USD = about 100yen). In them, Bandai NAMCO games' mobile social game "Idol master: Cinderella girl" is known by having a lot of users who are crazy.

This is a simulation game that users become the producer of the production, and train girls band. Originally this was software for consoles, but made a big success by become a social game. Many "producers" used a large amount of real money to let a one's girls band succeed. They came to be called in this way in the Japanese social game industry, "Heavy charge army" "Wreck of charge". Users called like that using millions of hundreds of thousands of yen for this for one month.

Today, the book which placed the interview to seven "Heavy charge army" was published.



It is terrible only with a table of contents.

I continue playing Gacha until the item which I want appears
I bought 4,000 virtual energy drink for an event
I played Gacha for 50,000 yen at once
I gave one idol 18,000 virtual stamina drinks

...etc

On the other hand, there are the interesting episodes.

Idol master: Cinderella girl is corporate management simulation
I came to read economic books to capture a game
The bond of friends that was provided by a game even if I stop a game remains
The most important point is to love idols

This book lets us think about "value". Physical? or virtual? It may not be an important problem. Unfortunately this book is written only in Japanese. Do you want to read this if there is English version?

However, further tragedy happened today. They went bankrupt with a debt of 24,500 million yen. They announced that they stated a civil rehabilitation proceeding in the Tokyo District Court, and they were accepted.

According to their press release, their game business in itself is brisk. However, they fail by the overseas acquisition, theoverseas advance of mobile contents, and Investment business. In addition, a chairperson and the president take these responsibility and resign.

Many Japanese gamers worry about popularity game brand Atlus which is their affiliation. Index intends to transfer game business to them looking for sponsors immediately.

Appropriate sponsors should be found early.
