Mikudayo Videos Celebrate Project Mirai DX’s Localization

Sega have released three videos featuring Mikudayo, a character based on an actual full-body Nendoroid costume of Hatsune Miku. The costume was originally used to promote the first Project Mirai at the Tokyo Game Show 2011, but Mikudayo, as the fans started to call her, gained a cult following and ended up becoming somewhat an alternate character to Hatsune Miku. Noticing her popularity, Sega started to feature Mikudayo in promotional videos for the Project Mirai sequels. The three videos shown below were originally used to promote Project Mirai 2 in Japan, but have now been translated and released via The Crunchyroll Gaming Community on Facebook.

Project Mirai DX Demo Now Available for NA and EU (UPDATED)

Sega posted a new update on their blog today, announcing that they made a demo of their upcoming rhythm game Project Mirai DX available in the Americas and Europe on the Nintendo eShop. The demo appears to be same as the one Sega released in Japan, as it features the tracks “Senbozakura” and the Project Mirai exclusive track “LOL -lots of laugh-“.

The game will launch in both retail and digital form on September 8 in the Americas and September 11 in Europe. Sega also reminds people that pre-orders and a limited batch of launch copies of the game in the Americas will come with a Hatsune Miku wallet chain and 19 double-sided AR cards. Unfortunately, the blog post doesn’t clarify which version the EU fans will get, but it appears at least some stores are also offering the same limited launch edition.

Update: The EU version only has one use available, while the US version of the demo has 30. We’re waiting for more information from Sega, but we’re assuming this was a mistake and the EU version was also supposed to have 30.

Project Mirai DX Receives Special Launch Edition, Release Delayed Until September

Sega has announced that the release of Project Mirai DX for the Nintendo 3DS, scheduled for May 26 in the US and May 29 in the EU, has been delayed until September. More precisely, the game will be released on September 8 in North America and September 11 in Europe. The game will be made available at both retail stores and through the Nintendo eShop at a price of $39.99. While the delay is unfortunate, Sega does have some good news to share as well, since they will be offering a special physical Launch Edition of the game. However, it’s not clear what the price for this special edition will be, nor is it clear if Europe will be receiving this special edition as well. Here’s the content of the Launch edition as detailed in Sega’s press release:

This launch edition of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX will include the game, premium outer box packaging, and a wallet chain designed after Hatsune Miku’s iconic belt – a simple and stylish way for fans to represent their love for Miku. All copies of the game will include 19 double-sided augmented reality (AR) cards that show off additional dance moves and costumes.

While it’s puzzling to see that Sega waited until a week before the game’s scheduled release to announce a three month delay, it’s at least good to see that the game hasn’t been canceled altogether, and that the physical release is still happening. We hope to learn more from Sega Europe regarding the Special Edition soon.

Sega Announces Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI Remix for the West

Today Sega announced Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix (working title) for 3DS during a Hatsune Miku chat show broadcasted on Niconico. As announced on Sega West’s blog, Project Mirai Remix will be an enhanced version of Project Mirai 2 (which was only released in Japan). The release of the game also marks the 5th anniversary of the Sega featuring Hatsune Miku Project. The game is scheduled to be released in Asia, North America and Europe in 2015. It will feature two rhythm modes (Touch and Button), StreetPass function and an Augmented Reality (AR) feature.

Following the news of the 5th Anniversary, an update on the official blog of Sega’s Hatsune Miku games revealed that 2.5 million copies of the series have been shipped in Japan alone. Since 5 years, Hatsune Miku has starred in numerous Sega published titles ranging from the original PSP titles to Mirai on Nintendo 3DS. While these numbers don’t include the localized Project Diva F, we already know Sega was pleased with the sales of the game, as evidenced by the fact that they will be releasing Project Diva F 2nd on the PS3 and PS Vita later this year.
