SEGA of Japan Releases More Screenshots for Project DIVA X’s Latest Songs
In one of our latest Project DIVA X updates we talked about the three newly announced songs for SEGA’s upcoming rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. The article also included some screenshots of the music videos accompanying these songs in the game, as well as for the corresponding modules (costumes) for the characters. SEGA of Japan have now released additional screenshots for those songs, and you can take a look at them below. For the song “Hikyou Sentai Urotander”, we also included the modules again, as this time we also get to see the characters without their helmets.
Project DIVA Team Celebrates Valentine’s Day With Project DIVA X Video and Wallpaper
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, SEGA has posted a short video on Twitter featuring the song “LOL -lots of laugh-” in Project DIVA X. The song was also featured in earlier Project DIVA games and more recently Project Mirai DX on the Nintendo 3DS. You can watch the video below. Unfortunately the video and more notably the audio quality leaves something to be desired, but it appears to be the only source for the video for now. Aside from that, SEGA also included Valentine Day’s Wallpaper in their latest update on the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website.
There are no separate versions of the wallpaper this time around, and interestingly the characters design uses a cell-shaded style that appears to be somewhat in between that of the Project DIVA games and Project DIVA Arcade. Perhaps this is the kind of style we can expect from the PS4 version of Project DIVA X? We’ll have to wait and see. You can find the full version of the wallpaper below, or by clicking on the featured image of this post!
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X will be released on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016. There’s been no word yet regarding a release of the game for the West.
