"With Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F being a niche music game and all, you’d think it would get a fairly subdued response from diehand Vocaloid fans. Instead, it’s received 12,331 “likes” as of 10:20pm CST on March 7, 2013. I’d say that’s a a pretty awesome showing."
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?
SEGA should really look to at least release the PS3 and PSV version via PSN.
Whats so intriguing about this game?? Isnt it like a guitar hero game but with a pop anime style? Not in the least bit interesting to me but im all for localizations of eastern titles.. Bring it on & may the force be with u
Pretty sure that Shenmue would get more 'likes' if Sega gave it a chance.
Wankers
if only these weaboos were as dedicated when it comes to quality but all they do is copying the fads from Japanese otakus instead of developing their own taste (fk globalization!). But anyway, thanks to them anime is ruined too with everything now being moe and ecchi series. =/
Sorry for the rant but I'm still butthurt over the fact that we'll not get Yakuza 5! ;(
they should do one for Yakuza 5
