As part of its initiative to add connectivity between their arcade and mobile games, SEGA will be releasing a mobile version of their long-running Star Horse arcade games, titled Star Horse Pocket, in Japan. The arcade versions of Star Horse are a mix between a horse racing simulation and betting game, and it looks like the mobile game will feature similar mechanics. That said, the mobile version of the game will also feature five female characters who will apparently serve as your secretaries. The character art may look familiar to fans of the recent games in the Shining franchise, as they were drawn by the same artist: Tony Taka. You can find images of all five characters below, along with the two trailers for the game. The official website for the game can be found here.
On a side note, the characters in the video were animated using the Live2D technology. It’s something SEGA have used for other videos as well, such as their music videos for Irodorimidori (a virtual idol group).
