Idol Hakkenden is a Japanese-style adventure game where you guide Erika through the beginning of her career to the fulfillment of her dream.
As you progress through the game, you determine what Erika should do next by selecting from a menu.
You'll also communicate with some of Erika's friends (and not-so friends) as they give you hints about how Erika should proceed.
Naturally, music plays an important role.
The six songs that appear in the game are of the J-pop variety, with lyrics at the bottom of the screen in lieu of sung lyrics.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Idol Hakkenden for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Idol Hakkenden to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.
