SEGA 3D Classics, Project Mirai DX and Atlus RPGs Discounted on NA 3DS Eshop

While the SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be released on April 26th in North America, not every existing 3D Classic game will be included on the cartridge. You can, however, save money completing your collection as SEGA discounted the remaining titles on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Unfortunately 3D Sonic 2 has been excluded in the sale, but I’m confident SEGA will include it in a future Sonic franchise sale.

Project DIVA X - Luka's Birthday

SEGA Releases New Project DIVA X Video to Celebrate Luka’s Birthday

To celebrate Vocaloid Luka’s birthday, SEGA of Japan have released a new gameplay video featuring two songs from Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X: “Identity” (Ai Dee), by Mitchie M and “Crimson Leaf” (Akahitoha), by Kurousa-P. They’ve also released three wallpapers of Luka, which each show her character in a different design, depending on the game she was featured in (Project DIVA X, Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone and Project Mirai). You can view the wallpapers below. You can also get smaller resolutions (usable on your smartphone) of the wallpapers on the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website, which received a new Luka theme for the occasion.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X will be released on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016. At this point, there’s been no word from SEGA on whether or not the game will be localized. Nonetheless, there’s still a good chance the game will be released in the West, given that Project DIVA F, Project DIVA F2nd and Project Mirai DX were all localized for the English market.

Project DIVA Demos (Including Future Tone!) Playable at Snow Miku 2016

Sega has announced that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X (Vita version), Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (3DS), and the Arcade and PS4 versions of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone will be playable at Snow Miku 2016. Future Tone was announced at Tokyo Game Show last year, as a port of an arcade game. We haven’t heard much about the game since it was announced, but it’s also a port so this may be somewhat expected. “Ren’ai Saiban” by 40mP and “Chaos Medley  ~Giga remix~” by Giga-P will be playable songs, and for Project Mirai DX the playable songs will be “Senbonzakura” by KurousaP and “Ii-Aru Fanclub” by MikitoP. No song-specific demo information seems to be offered for the Future Tone demo units.

Some of you may be aware of Snow Miku as a Vocaloid or Hatsune Miku fan, but this year’s Snow Miku is also notable for Love Live! fans, as the franchise is cross-promoting with Snow Miku this year. Snow Miku is an annual winter-based festival for Hatsune Miku that takes place in Hokkaido, where original Vocaloid developers Crypton Future Media are based. It’s a big festival for Miku in particular, but as for the Love Live characters, snow sculptures and special promotional art is planned, with themed goods likely to come, too.

Project Mirai DX Review (3DS)

After reviewing Project DIVA F 2nd earlier, here’s my review of Project Mirai DX on the 3DS. While Project Mirai DX is also a rhythm game in the same vein as the Project DIVA series, the games are actually not all that similar. While the Project DIVA F games are aimed at a more mature audience and feature a rather high difficulty level, Project Mirai DX is notably easier and more accessible for newcomers to rhythm games. And while Project DIVA F at times featured somewhat risqué costumes, music videos and artwork (though nothing particularly scandalous, as evidenced the T rating by the ESRB), Project Mirai DX keeps things very family-friendly. The chibi design SEGA used for the characters is absurdly cute, and the tone is consistently upbeat and lighthearted.
