Nitroplus announced SoniPro (which stands for Super Sonico in Production) for the Nintendo 3DS at the summer 2013 Wonder Festival this weekend. The title is an idol-producing game and is being developed by Imageepoch.

SoniPro stars Super Sonico, who is the mascot of an annual festival held by Nitroplus, called Nitro Super Sonico. While most know Nitroplus primarily as a producer of visual novels, these music festivals are the other thing they’re known for.

In SoniPro, you help Super Sonico train as an idol as her producer. It looks to be quite the ambitious production as Imageepoch and Nitroplus say the game won’t be out until winter 2014. SoniPro will have a completely original scenario, and Imageepoch are developing the game in stereoscopic 3D.

Also announced at WonderFes was More! SoniComi, a PlayStation 3 version of the 2011 SoniComi game for PC, with updated visuals.
