Last year, Sega confirmed that it was brining the phenomenally successful 3DS title Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 to the west as Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI Remix.
Yesterday, the company revealed the final launch dates for this game, as well as a slightly revised title: Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. The title will launch in North America on the 26th May, with the European release coming a few days later on the 29th. The title will be available as both a physical game and as an eShop digital download.
Here's some more info from the official press release:
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX features forty-eight full length versions of fan-favorite songs with multiple game modes and play styles. Game modes include both "Touch Mode" and "Button Mode", each featuring multiple levels of difficulty and a wealth of customization options. Players are able to adjust difficulty via challenge and support items, change timing indicators and target icons, and swap out vocals in certain songs. Further, players can watch their favorite videos and add scrolling commentary in the Mirai Theater, create unique dance routines in the Dance Studio, and compose their own song phrases in My Tune. The game also features customizable Player Cards which can be shared with the community over StreetPass™ and kept current via SpotPass.
The Vocaloid franchise has shifted more than 2.5 million copies in Japan across a wide range of systems. The character was created in 2007 by Crypton Future Media, and Sega's games are produced under license.

Looking forward to it. Doubt it'll beat Rhythm Thief as my favorite rhythm game on 3DS but bring it on.
Never really understood Hatsune Miku. Why are the only games she ever gets are singing games? I always thought she was interesting but seriously. I wish she could have some other type of game. Lol.
Just a voice to me.
I'm not even huge on this type of game, but I might buy it anyway to support niche games being localized. On sale.
@Superstick Because that's what she is. She's a vocaloid, software designed to "sing" notes and tones that are inputted into a program. Think of it as a super advanced BonziBuddy.
@CaviarMeths Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I think I might actually give this a try if it gets localized too.
Woo Hoo! I'm glad to hear more news on one of the only two 3DS games I'm so far planning to obtain. I wonder why we couldn't get this piece of news in the Nintendo Direct.
In any case, I loved playing the Hatsune Miku Project Diva game on the PSP, and so I'm eagerly awaiting to play Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. A May release is quite interesting though, given Splatoon also comes out then, it's set May up to be a very appreciated month for me.
Yey, Yey, Yey, Yeeeeey!!, ok, to wait, to wait, to wait until May!!!!, jijiji, sorry, sorry.
Well, it's good to know the release date, and well, then, only 4 months more for get this cute game. It's a good signal to watch that more games like this arrive to west.
I got hyped for this when I finally watched the Japanese direct. Never though I'd like...chibi Miku.
Been playing it on my japanese 3DS and I really enjoy it! It's got some good songs on there. I'll probably pick up the english version as well!
I listen to vocaloids a lot so I love this <3
I have never tried one of these, I may give it a chance. But May is P&D and Splatoon, so my wallet is gonna hurt.
Is caramelldansen in it? Caramelldansen or no buy.
Never played Hatsune Miku games before, but I'm a sucker for rhythm games so probably gonna get this. I just wish we could get another Rhythm Thief...
Happy to finally get a release date. Loved the ones on the vita, psp and ps3...its just gonna be weird seeing them all chibi.
Awesome! SEGA giving us a great franchise with a choice of physical or digital release. Now everyone go request that they give us that physical compilation of 3D Classics. THAT would be the icing on the cake.
Hmm. I might get it.
Most anticipated 3DS game. <3 Still no word on whether we'll get the Puchi Puku Pack (most likely not) but until SEGA says no I can still hope.
It's about time we got some Vocaloid product here in North America. Seems like we're behind the times. I would prefer something less Chibi, though.
Ah, that makes sense. I don't have any modern Sony systems, so I haven't been following those releases.
I thought this was a tactical rpg. Perhaps I'm confusing this with Hyperdimension Neptunia? I thought miku had her own tactical rpg, too.
@edcomics cannot do better than chibi for 3DS. Fire Emblem cut off characters' feet LOL
@ollietaro Well, that was a bizarre stylistic choice. Oh wait, Yorumi said that already. Since we got Senran Kagura on 3DS, I figure we can get full-sized Vocaloids. Either way, this is a good step forward for Nintendo. I mean... the gap between regions isn't that wide anymore, especially when it comes to pop culture. We've known about Miku and Vocaloid for years in the West. Similarly, KanColle (Kantai Collection) has become popular outside of Japan. I don't know if there are any plans to branch out with console games for that property, but if they do I would hope Nintendo would get on the ball. They just seem late to the party more often than not.
@Yorumi I'm sure the 3DS version was a stylistic choice but also b/c of the limitations of the 3DS hardware.
@edcomics I don't care how late Nintendo is to any party b/c I've just been having a consistent ball playing my 3DS since November 2012.
All I have to say about this is:
OMGYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO =DDDDDD
I went to a vocaloid concert last year and its definitely under my top two concerts of all time. I'll be picking this up for sure.
Have it on my Japanese LL. It's superb, I definitely recommend it.
