Having done the hard work of releasing the game and getting a No. 1 hit for the PS Vita, there's no rest for Sega's vocaloid queen who now has to tour in support of the title and encourage further sales. Like a trooper, she's out entertaining Japanese crowds, and there's the inevitable tour video to enjoy some brief clips of her live outing.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.
It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."
Hatsune Miku has become an international icon. What began as a singing synthesizer turned into a character recognized around the world that stars in multiple forms of media. In the realm of games, people recognize her as a rhythm game star. But what else do people need to know about her?
That's some awesome event..
3D-ish projection of water looks trippy as heck :D
The game is awesome! One of the prettiest & flashiest games on the Vita, worth the $80 i spent importing it.
This new style of open air live concert is looking trippy. A little fuzzy to see her clearly but i guess it is the event that matters. The game deserves its sales & it should have been higher but even though Miku is super popular in Japan, the games are still niche.
That's very impressive. The projection technology itself isn't something completely new but it's still impressive to see a character like Miku come to life.
LOLOLOLOL SICK!!! Anything that brings people together cause of a video game is a win.
That event...... You know what sucks? I'M NOT THERE! *flips table*
*hugs my hatsune miku project diva f copy and cries in the corner.*
