Over the past few years it seems that vocaloids, and Hatsune Miku in particular, have gotten more popular. The games based around this genre of music have been big hits in Japan for years. In 2013, the PS3 Hatsune Miku: Project Diva games got localized for North America and did well, or at least well enough to justify the sequels on the Vita to also be brought over to North America. They are simple button timing rhythm games with flashy music videos and some life sim elements thrown into the mix. All of them were received fairly well by fans and critics. So is this new Project Mirai on 3DS another all-star show or the series’ first poor performance?
