Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX delayed to September in both North America and Europe, Launch Edition announced
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX will no longer be releasing this month as originally planned. Today, SEGA announced that the 3DS title will now arrive on September 8 in North America and September 11 in Europe.
SEGA has also revealed a new North American “Launch Edition” for Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. It’ll come with the game itself, premium outer box packaging, and a 3-foot wallet chain designed after Hatsune Miku’s iconic belt. Additionally, all copies of the game will include 19 double-sided augmented reality (AR) cards that show off additional dance moves and costumes.
You’ll find additional details about Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX along with screenshots below.
In collaboration with Good Smile Company, a popular Japanese figure company, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX features Miku and all of her friends in their Nendoroid figure style. The game features 48 full-length versions of fan-favorite songs players can challenge themselves with by trying to match the rhythm in “Tap Mode” and “Button Mode,” each with multiple difficulty levels, which can be further augmented with challenge and support items.
But the rhythm game is just one facet of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX – players can also customize a virtual apartment for their favorite Miku character with decorations, seasonal items, and more. The Mirai Theater has replay functions so players can watch their favorite videos and add scrolling commentary. Choreograph entirely new routines by making new moves in the Dance Studio, and compose brand new song phrases in My Tune. This info can all be shared on customizable Profile Cards, which can be shared via StreetPass and kept current via SpotPass.

A look at the cancelled DS game Initial D EX
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
SEGA was once developing Initial D EX for the DS. Unseen64 reports that the company’s “Rosso” department was working on the street racing game back in 2007/2008.
Interestingly, Initial D EX was never actually announced. We only know of its existence thanks to a few images that briefly appeared on the SEGA Rosso website.
A screenshot from Initial D EX can be found above. Unseen64 has a few additional ones here.

Rumor: Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX delayed to August in Europe
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 6 Comments
SEGA originally announced that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX would be launching towards the end of May in both North America and Europe. In the latter region, it appears that the game has been delayed a few months.
Numerous signs are pointing to an August launch for Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX in Europe. Koch Media, a company that handles the distribution of various SEGA titles in Europe, mentioned the new release month on a couple of its Twitter accounts while interacting with fans. Amazon Spain and Amazon Germany are both listing an August 14 release date as well. Separately from those concrete pieces of information, NextN has heard from its own sources that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX is now due out in Europe this August.
SEGA technically hasn’t officially announced a European delay, so we’ll mark this one as a rumor to be safe. It’s not looking good though!

SEGA won’t have a booth at E3 2015
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
SEGA will not have a booth at this year’s E3, the company confirmed to Game Informer. An official statement reads:
Over the next months, SEGA of America will be focusing on the restructure and relocation to Southern California, and we have decided to not attend E3 with our own booth this year,” a representative told us via email. “With the majority of our bigger titles launching later in 2015/2016, particularly those from our AAA studios Relic Entertainment, Sports Interactive and Creative Assembly, we are concentrating our efforts for some of these major announcements after our relocation. Instead, we will be collaborating with our various business partners for this year’s E3 show.
This shouldn’t have too big of an impact on Wii U and 3DS owners. The only upcoming Nintendo games SEGA has confirmed for North America and Europe are Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (which will be out later this month) and a few 3D Classics. Still, it’s a tiny bit sad that SEGA won’t be appearing at E3!
