Sega has posted a splash page counting down to something. Not explicitly stated, but it appears to have something to do with electronic diva Hatune Miku.
"August 31st 2007 marks the release of virtual popstar Hatsune Miku. So why not celebrate the occasion with 10 great 2007 Miku songs?"
Whether you adore Hatsune Miku or you think she’s a symbol of an eventual cyberpunk dystopia, you’d be ignorant to not come to terms with the fact that Hatsune Miku eclipses most popstars today.
Just announce it already, SEGA. For whatever reason, Sega has left its European fans twisting in the wind, wondering if they'll ever see localizations of titles like 7th Dragon III Code: VFD or anything made by Atlus.
I think it's Europe that is getting very little respect. Even if these are 'niche' games for a limited market, I'm sure a rythm-anime game like Hatsune Miku could sell a few hundred thousand copies.
Just slap some English subs on it, give it a digital-only release (less risk for Sega Europe), give it an attractive price (30 euro or less), and surely people around Europe will be willing to buy it.
I hope it is yet another title for the PS Vita.
Interesting but keeping my excitement low. Got burned from Sega's last countdown :L
I just hope it is good. That is all.
Virtua Tennis?
