Next best is £34.99 at Grainger Games, then you're up to the £40 mark.
Set in modern Tokyo, young people come together to weave an epic tale alongside heroes from an alternate world. This brand-new RPG, developed by ATLUS, is infused with elements of the popular Fire Emblem series. In the struggle between the worlds of glamour and darkness, these young heroes rise to face the challenge.
‘Mirages’ – beings of immeasurable power hailing from another dimensions – have begun to invade our world. Some are evil, but others are drawn to humans with tremendous creative potential and have shared their powers to guard humanity.
The young heroes fight as Mirage Masters and, at the same time, have big dreams to become great entertainers. They polish their singing and acting skills in the entertainment business in their daily life, and work as artists. They must confront not only invading Mirages, but also the world of entertainment as they fight their way to stardom.

Great game, well worth this price. In fact, it would be worth grabbing at this price if you ever intend to play it; a few more months and I can see the price of this sky-rocketing.

Every latter day Wii U game is going to skyrocket in price. In fact, it's probably worth buying all the Wii U games now...

Is this any good? I heard it got censored or something.

It is really good, yes. It shares much in common with the Persona series (expected as it started life as an SMT x Fire Emblem crossover) but is a little more streamlined/simplistic in comparison. It's very character driven with all voice acting in Japanese; the subtitles do a terrific job of conveying the mood and feel of the game (usually light-hearted).
There were some censored costumes but don't worry about that as those left in the game are pretty skimpy anyway (if that's your thing).
It is a very Japanese game and if you liked the Persona series then this is an excellent complement to those games. There aren't many RPGs on the Wii U so this doesn't have much competition, fortunately, it is an excellent way to spend 40-60 hours - provided you don't mind JRPG character tropes.

Yes it got censored and it wasn't in just a trivial way either. It was never going to sell well as it's a niche game but the controversy around it didn't do it any favours and reduced its sales further. That and other factors like it was a lazy translation.

good price for a niche title. worth picking up for the ridiculous price it'll no doubt command on eBay in a few years.
