Following on from an announcement earlier this week, Namco Bandai have today launched a trailer for their upcoming Playstation 3 The Idolm@ster Channel (iM@S Channel – アイマスチャンネル). To be available for download from the 2nd October 2013 in Japan, this service will provide user access to a number of paid (and presumably free) services surrounding The Idolm@ster franchise.
Some features highlighted in the trailer include the updated version of The Idolm@ster Shiny Festa titled The Idolm@ster Shiny TV and all nine Gravure For You! installments originally published as rather expensive photography games included with the limited edition editions of The Idolm@ster 2 and anime series. Another mystery producer game was also teased at the end of the trailer. This new game is on top of the already announced Playstation 4 installment in the idol training / producing series.
