From IGN : Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F is a fairly obscure rhythm game that's done quite well in Japan. It’s co-developed by SEGA and Crypton Future Media and has a bit of a following in the east. Well, today, Sony revealed that this strange title is making its way west later this summer. Project Diva F – which launched on PS Vita in Japan in 2012 and on PS3 in Japan earlier this year – was actually playable at E3 in 2012, but a localization was never officially announced. Now we know that the game, packing 38 songs, will be released Stateside in August. No European release information has yet been determined, and it doesn't seem that the Vita iteration will be migrating over at all. The game will be available both at retail and digitally, and a demo for the game will be uploaded to the PlayStation Network this coming Tuesday, June 11th.
My (Japanese) wife loves this game, and actually plays it almost every night. She is trying to get perfect on all songs and difficulty levels without using the in game cheats. I honestly suck at it, but some of the songs are really nice, more so if you actually know some Japanese. Two of the three songs in the NA demo are my faves. Just be warned, the Engrish in the game is very very bad. So bad, that I would advise the Japanese song writers to never try to use English ever again. (Not that there is anything wrong with normal Japanese artist using English in their songs, I just mean -these- song writers.) But yes, over all the game is good. Give the demo a spin if you think you might be interested.
