Long time no see. Prepare for a wall of text (pics will be coming later). I received my copy of Megpoid the Music # a couple of hours ago and after hammering through it, here are my initial impressions.

Project DIVA Ƒ rumored to receive Asia launch

A source here close to the distributor for Project DIVA ƒ has told us that the PS3 version; Project DIVA Ƒ, will be launched outside of Japan on March 7th – in Singapore, like the Vita title! This is pretty good news for owners of the general Asia version, as it’s likely that the other territories will follow suit. However, DLC concerns and the availability of the 君に届けたいコード campaign are still hazy at this point. I wouldn’t expect any pre-order bonuses, either. On the other hand, the PlayStation 3 accessory package will also come along. But of course, though I’d like to say this is an absolutely confirmed bit of news, it’s still word of mouth and you might like a grain or two of salt. Still, judging from ƒ’s launch and DLC availability, it seems unlikely that the PS3 title will not take its predecessor’s path and be Japan only. SEGA, has of course, been keeping fairly quiet on the matter. Adding a little more fuel to the smoke is that Project DIVA ƒ’s Asia availability was announced in July, one month before the launch. Now, it’s one month before Ƒ launches, too.

Review: Sony PlayStation®Vita 初音ミク-Project DIVA-ƒ Limited Edition

Sony’s latest portable gaming device is far from popular. Its promise is to deliver the highest quality mobile gaming experience, being the only device to feature dual thumbsticks, a feature Sony is proud of. But with the rise of modern smartphones packing more power than ever feasible before and the proliferation of casual gaming on small touchscreen devices such as the iPod Touch, does the PlayStation Vita have its place in the world? The seemingly schizophrenic device features a cutesy smartphone-esque touch-centric operating system and menu, whilst featuring the gaming keys no other device has. All of that out of the way, SEGA’s previous 初音ミク-Project DIVA- installments have been all featured on the PlayStation Portable, with an expansion to high definition on the PlayStation 3 via an add-on and a fairly successful run in the arcades. It makes perfect sense, of course, that it would be launched on the PlayStation Vita, and furthermore feature a special edition of the console, as did the unique cyan limited edition PSP before. Review after the break.
