The Japanese release date of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend is drawing near (November the 10th), and Sega released videos of two songs that will be included in the game.
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?
Viva la Vita: "SEGA has announced that their rhythm video game series based on the popular vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku has topped 1.8 million shipments in Japan. The franchise which spans six releases over PSP, 3DS, PSVita, and PS3 originally began in 2009 and will continue onwards with this year's release of Hatsune Miku Project Mirai 2 for 3DS. SEGA specifically mentioned strong performance from Hatsune Miku Project Diva f/F for PSVita, and PS3 which have shipped a combined 390,000 units since launch."
I bought Project Diva f for Vita when I was in Japan last year, but the touch screen controls almost ruined the game. Oh, and I really can't get used to the vocaloid voices...
I only bought the game because of the heavy marketing there, and the fact that it was probably the only time in my life when I could say "I bought a Japanese game the day it was released!"
many games don't even ship that world wide! DmC would be one example, the game hasn't even sold 1 million yet. lol
There’s a new Racing Miku statue figurine in production, and the Good Smile Company posted her on their blog this week.
can't wait for this game
Hmm the songs sound pretty good, I really hope IF a Jet Set Radio 3 is released that they have a good section of Vocaloid music in it.
It annoys me so much that we get so many crappy rhythm games but we can't get the few from Japan that are fun and have solid music in them. I'm kinda shocked they have not released a project Diva game in the US yet considering how it seems they are trying to get Miku to break into the US with being a Toyata mascot and all that.
