Siliconera: Sega is working on a Hatsune Miku game for Nintendo 3DS and it has version of the vocaloid idol. Working together with nendoroid maker Good Smile Company, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai (mirai is Japanese for "future") has a different look from the Project Diva games on PSP.
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?
Grant from Denkiphile: "More information on the Digimon game, a new Ace Attorney game, and the announcement of a new music rhythm game for Vocaloid fans."
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
