News by Matt S. God bless SEGA. The company has announced that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX for the Nintendo 3DS has a release date of May 26 for America, May 28 for Japan and Korea, and Europe (and we presume Australia) on May 29. Project Mirai DX will play…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As I’m pretty sure every DDNet reader knows by now: I like Hatsune Miku. A lot. If Hatsune Miku was somehow a real person I’d be one of those people that would travel overseas just to see her in concert. Heck, with next to no chance…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The first Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f kickstarted a new obsession for me. I loved the game so much that I bought a load of Miku CDs and goods on my recent trip to Japan. I’ve even gone and purchased the Miku software, and if I…

Fans of electronica music and brutal difficulty levels take note, Elevate Entertainment will likely be the next developer to send iPhones…
