AKB48 Pachinko Game Slated for Summer
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Latest game incarnation of idol group slated for release later this month.
The pachinko machine maker Kyoraku Sangyo is creating a pachinko game based on Japanese idol group AKB48. A special lottery drawing will give 150 winning applicants a pair of tickets to attend the July 12 launch event at Yokohama Arena. Members of AKB48 will make a special appearance to ring in the game's launch.
Kyoraku created games based on anime properties such as Combattler V and Ultraman Taro.
AKB48 previously appeared in two PlayStation Portable dating games in 2010 and 2011, and the 3DS idol-training game AKB48+Me is slated for release this fall.
