In the west racing cars are serious business and carry serious sponsors. Japan is different. In the land of the raising sun Video Games and Anime are serious business. That’s why they’re considered serious sponsors and it’s not too unlikely to see some cute smiling faces appear on the bonnet of a sport car during official races.
Total shipments of the Hatsune Mike series have surpassed 2.5 million units in Japan as of July 2, SEGA announced today.
Of course they have... just look at that picture.
We're talking about Japan here.
Clean or not, using an underage looking girls with a little tiny skirt on the cover is gonna shift units in no time... see where I'm going with this?
Project Diva f sold surprisingly well in the west.
See, Sega? WE STILL WANT YOUR GAMEZ.
pls bring Phantasy Star Nova and Shining Resonance over. pls.
Considering that this number is the sum of sales of eight games, for me it's a little underwhelming. The way SEGA promotes Hatsune Miku's games in Japan (I even bought the one for Vita when I went there because of the heavy marketing - and I don't even like Hatsune Miku) I thought they were more popular.
This SEGA site points to a new Hatsune Miku game...
People believe it may be a global version or port of Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai
I believe the 3DS game is getting a sequel.
As for importing it on your Vita... well, I'd certainly recommend doing so. It's absolutely fantastic, and one of the best Vita games, period.
If you've got a PS3, though, you may want to wait. There's some speculation that the PS3 port might get localized soon.
Hatsune Miku is getting a new Nendoroid figurine—Nendoroid Hatsune Miku 2.0, which is the 300th Nendoroid from Good Smile.
