Project Diva 2.5 changes title to Project Diva Extend

by

If you were looking forward to Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2.5, you won’t have to worry, it’s still coming out. The only thing that has changed now is the title. The official title for the release is Hatsune Miku Project Diva Extend. Which to me sounds way better than 2.5, would have made more sense if it was “extended” and not extend.
Famitsu revealed that the game will be coming out November 10th, exclusively on PSP.  Also revealed is the first pre-order bonus. If you pre-order the game, you get an audio CD with Hatsune Miku singing classic SEGA songs. Which songs? We will post them when we find out.

The Weekly Five: SEGA PSP games that should be ported to PS3

by


SEGA has had some highly rated games released on the PSP, sadly mostly everyone outside of Japan has decided to ignore the platform. Sony recently announced the ‘PSP Remasters’ series. Games from PSP ported over and enhanced on the Playstation 3.

One of the first games to get this treatment has been Monster Hunter Freedom 3, which looks great. I decided to put together 5 games that deserve the PSP Remasters treatment.

Hatsune Miku’s Sonic Outfit in Project Diva 2.5

by

Heads up Sonic fans, in the latest Hatsune Miku game ‘Project Diva 2.5’ Miku will be taking to the stage dressed how I imagine Lady Gaga might dress when she nips down the shops for a carton of milk.

SEGA artist and character designer Yuji Uekawa (Ristar, Sonic, and Samba De Amigo) has stepped up and designed “Sonic Miku” effectively Hatsune Miku in a Sonic hoodie.

Project Diva 2.5 arrives on the PSP this Autumn. Now, all I really want to know is, where can one procure a hoodie like this out here in drab RL?

7th Dragon 2020 Trailer – Kill All Dragons or Die

by

Check out this trailer for 7th Dragon 2020. The original 7th Dragon on the DS was quite a fun little game. In traditional old school JRPG style you had to travel the land with a party of warriors killing the seven dragons which ruled it. Of course that’s a very simplified version of the tale as I don’t speak/read a lick of Japanese.

The game was headed by Rieko Kodama (Also credited as Phoenix Rie, or Phoenix in some of her early work.) Kodama has worked on many JRPGs including Phantasy Star and my personal favourite, Skies of Arcadia.

7th Dragon 2020 is heading to the PSP in Japan this year.

Next Shining game’s marketing assets leaked?

by


According to AndriaSang, these images have popped up online and have been touted as being marketing assets for the next Shining game that SEGA has teased. They say it is probably fake, but since we run rumors here, why not see them over.

According to the assets the code name for the game is “Gensou no Lorelei.” The background story revolves around the empire of Dragonia stealing the spirit power and sending the world into chaos. Not very original, but hit the jump to find out more.

ESRB has rating for Crush 3D

by

When Crush was released back in 2007, it didn’t get that much hype, even though it ended up being one of my favorite games on the PSP. Now it will get a second chance on the Nintendo 3DS. We posted about it coming awhile back, now ESRB has rated the title.

This is a puzzle platformer in which players collect marbles to activate exits and complete each level. As players run and jump through each colorful environment, they can toggle between 2D and 3D perspectives to navigate platforms. Players’ ‘cartoony’ character cries out and loses a life if he falls off tall platforms or is struck by roaming enemies (e.g., giant blocks, slugs). In some sequences, players can use large blocks or balls to squash giant cockroaches; defeated bugs emit large splashes of yellow liquid that stain the ground.

Now all we need is a press release, official release date and we can finally get hyped. The game got a E 10+ rating. That means you should get 4 copies for each one of your children.

New Hatsune Miku project reveal on the 28th

by

SEGA is set to reveal a new Hatsune Miku project they have been working on, most likely to be Project Diva 3. Could this be the first entry to the series on the NGP?

I guess we will find out in a few days. Isn’t it great? Another Japanese game we won’t get in the west. I guess you should be happy that Sony hasn’t sued all import stores.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity has sold 312k copies so far

by


The latest Media Create Sales are out for the week, ending on April 3rd. Guess who came in at number 10? Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and it sold 12,000 units for the week. Not bad.

On the same note, the PSP has outsold the 3DS for the second week in Japan as well. Maybe SEGA focusing on PSP titles in Japan isn’t that big of a mistake after all. If only the NGP would perform better in the west, I guess we will see.

SEGA in the Charts: Japanese sales 21 – 27 Feb 2011

by

It’s been a while since the last major Japanese release for SEGA but the wait is finally over, Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity was released in the same week as the new handheld 3DS. Whilst Phantasy Star Portble 2: Infinity posted some impressive numbers below, it does not tell the full story;

Position / Platform / Title / Weekly numbers / Lifetime numbers

01 [PSP] Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity  206,654 / NEW

When the first Phantasy Star Portable was released, it managed to sell in the region of 360,000 units and the sequel, PSP2, managed 280,000 whilst the newest entry into the series shows further steep decline for sales in the series, perhaps the bubble is slowly bursting, but who knows, yearly releases are bound to have an effect, so it’ll be interesting to see the result when Phantasy Star Online 2 is released, although with the PC market in Japan, I would not be surprised about the level of sales being lower.

The original shipment for Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity was around 330,000 so expect strong sales for next week too. Although will it still be number one in a week’s time? Doubtful as the new Dissidia is released for PSP, but it may still hold onto second place.
