Bandai Namco cheats on their own video game test

Our Video Game Certification is a collection of minigames based on old 8-bit Namco games, designed to test your skill in very focused retrogaming tasks. Therefore, you'd expect the old 8-bit Namco games to be old 8-bit Namco games. They've got a lot of the things, from Cutie-Q to Wonder Momo -- one of the largest libraries of classic games ever. So why the heck did they have to put together a fake 8-bit version of The Idolm@ster?

Well, okay, we're not actually upset by the development. In fact, it's pretty cool that they mocked up a whole new scene for the collection when they really didn't have to. Do you think you can "grab her heart" (according to our awesome translation skills, but you get the idea) in thirty seconds?

Other newly-revealed games in Our Video Game Certification include Xevious, Youkai Dochuuki, and Star Luster.
