SPOILER: Namco Bandai will drop a Bridget in Idolm@ster DS.

[Mikeneko Rocker -- Tim]

One of the Idolmaster idols is a boy (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2009/07/13/one-of-the-idolmaster-idols-is-a-boy/#comments)

To anyone who plans to import this, you've been warned.

To anyone who plans to request either Atlus USA, NISA, or XSEED to localize this, then, I have to ask this question to you:

Guess how many times the original price Namco Bandai, the IP owner, will charge for this to be licensed out to any of these niche localizers?

The correct answer is... IT'S OVER 9000!

I think we're more likely to get Project Diva, the Hatsune Miku game for PSP than any of the Idolmaster games. There's far more demand for Miku in the west than there is for the m@sters.

That said, the appeal of the whole otaku genderbending phenomenon is beyond me.
